New Powered Stairway Climber Carries Any Wheelchair Person Safely New from SwallowEMP, the leaders in powered evacuation
products, is the LG2030 universal stairway climber.
Fully powered, like all other products in the SwallowEMP range, the LG2030 is designed to hold all types of wheelchairs and to navigate straight, curved or spiral staircases. The product’s powerful 500W motor allows a small attendant to safely transport a larger person up and down stairways with no risk of overturning due to the equipment’s innovative weight balancing system where front and rear support wheels are automatically activated for ascent and descent. Ideal for public and
residential buildings, the LG2030 can carry a person and wheelchair of up to 180kg, is simple to operate, robust and incorporates many safety features. The wheelchair ramps are fully extendable and the three dimensional anchoring system ensures that all types of wheelchair can be carried with fast hooking and un-hooking.
The stairway climber also
features a fully adjustable wrap around headrest. The height adjustable handle bars incorporate ‘deadman’ operating buttons to automatically halt the climber in the event of a problem. The LG2030 carries a full control panel featuring a mode dial to select step-by-step or sequential rise and fall of the climber; a potentiometer for speed adjustment; a balance selector for ascent and descent; battery charge level indicator and an emergency button.
It
also incorporates a fold-away seat which, when required, can be used for carrying people not in wheelchairs.
The LG2030 has relatively compact dimensions of 114 x 72 x 160cm and weighs just 78kg. The LG2030 powered stairway climber is priced at £4,000 plus VAT, carries a five-year warranty, and SwallowEMP provides full training in the use of the equipment.
SwallowEMP is the exclusive UK distributor of the LG2030 universal stairway climber which is made by the Italian company The Antano Group.

Pipe Center launches commercial sanitary ware as part of total support package for contractors
Pipe Center, the UK’s leading heating supplier, has added commercial sanitary ware to its offering as part of a total support package for contractors. The supplier has teamed up with leading manufacturer Ideal Standard and contractor Lend Lease to introduce a comprehensive range of sanitary ware for installation in commercial and public buildings. Pipe Center is already supplying systems for hospitals, as part of ongoing supply contracts. In addition to sluice rooms it is also supplying sanitary
ware and fittings for wards and other areas. The company is also supplying baths, showers, toilets, taps and waste systems for a major regeneration project being carried out by Lend Lease on flats at the Elephant and Castle in London. All equipment is from the Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks ranges. Andy McEwan, commercial director of Pipe Center and Climate Center, says: “The addition of sanitary ware alongside our existing M&E range means that we can now supply installers with a complete range of equipment and accessories for major projects. “It offers significant advantages in terms of logistics, and streamlines the whole process of getting the right materials on site at the right time.” The global market for sanitary ware is forecast to grow
from $22bn in 2011 to $33bn by 2016, with sales in Europe predicted to increase by 21per cent*. In the UK, however, growth is predicted to be lower, due to lower levels of refurbishment and new build activity**. Mr McEwan added: “The industry is under constant
pressure to improve efficiency and speed up completion times. Our expanded range and related technical support helps contractors deliver for clients, and improve the efficiency of their own business in the process. Working with partners Lend Lease and Ideal Standard, we see this as win-win for all concerned.”
