Supporting Accessibility in UK Leisure Centres

The Pool Lift Company is proud to support the leisure industry by helping facilities provide safe, reliable, and fully accessible pools for all users. Lifts are designed to meet UK accessibility standards and give confidence to both visitors and staff.

Why Accessibility MattersAccessible pools aren’t just a nice-to-have, they’re a legal and ethical requirement. Lifts help leisure centres:

Comply with the Equality Act 2010
Provide safe, reliable access for users of all abilities
Maintain confidence and trust among visitors and staff

Portable vs Fixed Lifts

Portable lifts: Flexible, movable, ideal for multi-pool or seasonal setups
Fixed lifts: Permanently installed for high-traffic pools, therapy environments, and heavy daily use

Compliance & SafetyInstallations meet all UK accessibility standards. Regular maintenance keeps lifts fully operational and safe for every user.

Tailored Solutions for Leisure Centres

High-traffic pools: Heavy-duty fixed hoists
Space-limited pools: Compact or portable lifts
Complex needs: Ceiling-mounted hoists or sling-based systems

Looking Ahead to 2026As the festive season approaches, it is an ideal time to review pool accessibility and ensure facilities start the New Year fully compliant, safe, and inclusive.
