Home life

Cibes home user, Edward Bridger-Stille was left unable to walk again after a fall at Christmas in 2017. Since installing his Cibes home lift Edward has been able to resume his home life: “I have a relatively normal life thanks to our Cibes lift. I can go to bed, go to the bathroom and go downstairs to join my family with ease.”

“I’m extremely grateful to my Cibes lift. It’s been a real life and lifestyle saver. I wanted an external lift; it was the best option to not take up room in our home.

“We really love the modern feel the lift adds to our slightly older house,” Edward explained.

Passion

Lift loving twins Freddie and Joseph Taylor have found an oasis in platform lifts in public places. Their father Dean expressed how their passion began: “The boys were diagnosed with autism when they were four and since then we have stumbled into this lift–related world.”

“They feared platform lifts to start with, but this soon disappeared, and they decided that they loved them. Our house is now covered in drawings of lift control panels, it’s all they talk about.

“I personally think they enjoy it so much because you can get in, press a button and it takes you to where you want to go. It’s a moment of quiet in the middle of a shopping centre.”

Cibes were thrilled to send Freddie and Joseph an engineer’s pack to add to their lift collection. “We weren’t expecting such kindness from Cibes, the boys will be made up with their presents,” exclaimed Dean.

Cibes are here to ensure that they improve the lives of their users. Whether it be in a home where functionality meets Scandinavian style or to users in public places gaining access or a moment of calm. Cibes brings people together.
