Platform Lift a Work of Art!
Thanks to movemanSKG, the Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery in Grasmere, Cumbria, can accommodate less able visitors. A Prima Plus platform lift allows wheelchair users to access a newly refurbished gallery and the gift shop.
The Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery celebrates the life of William Wordsworth, England’s best-loved poet who lived in the village over two hundred years ago. Its collection includes over 90% of Wordsworth’s surviving manuscripts, plus rare books and art by over 4,000 writers and artists.
Each year, around 70,000 people visit the Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery to experience the wonderful exhibitions, and attend workshops, poetry readings, and lectures.
The Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery is a service provider and must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). Located externally, the Prima Plus platform lift means wheelchair users can overcome a short flight of stairs, which lead to the newly refurbished gallery and the gift shop.
“Less able people frequently come to visit, and we value their custom highly” says Carrie Taylor, Visitor Services Manager at the Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery. “We pride our site on being wheelchair friendly, and ensure there are access routes to all exhibitions and facilities. movemanSKG’s Prima Plus serves our new gallery and gift shop well. It is essential to the normal operation of our site.”
Prima Plus is a freestanding, compact, electro-hydraulic platform lift suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The unit at the Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery transports wheelchair users nearly a metre between the two levels, and features a smooth grey finish. This means the lift blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The platform handrails and upper landing gate have attractive glass infill.
Light, yet strong and durable, Prima Plus has a special protective coating that resists weathering and helps prevent corrosion. It lifts up to 300kg and has a small footprint, making it suitable for buildings with limited space.

Why can GM build cars with massive sunroofs, but putting t-tops on the new Camaro won't work?
I've seen Grand Prixs, G6s, and GMC Acadia with the entire top of the car nearly being a giant sunroof. These sun roofs are made of glass of course.
To me, it stands to reason that GM is cutting the 2009 Camaro short by not putting T-tops on, which is essentially removable sunroofs.
I do know that the new Camaro will not be built on the old F-body platform, but the new Zeta platform, which people argue cannot support the t-tops. Does anyone else feel that GM is letting it's Camaro enthusiast down? Should the 2009 Camaro be built on a new platform or a modified Zeta platform that would permit T-tops?
Please don't tell me that it would cost too much, take too long to rebuild, or that kind of crap, despite hardships, GM is still raking in billions of dollars, and is the second largest car producer in the world.
While T-tops may not have made a debut on the 1967 Camaro, they are still a tradition that I don't think is worth losing because GM is dead set on this Zeta platform
It's probably something idiotic like safety.
If the car rolls because everyone plans on rolling their favourite car.- right? It probably comprimises integrity or something. Much like those structural support bars that they had to put on the Cutlass convertibles.
In the Cutlass Supreme's and Beretta that never came out it was all structural, aside from the cool upright door handles the car lost some of it's rigidity.
My best answer to you would be that the public doesn't really care too much for T-tops. If the people don't demand it, it won't happen. Much like the American automakers (specifically Ford and GM have virtually no coupes - especially NASCAR sized ones). It's a changing marketplace out there.
