As demand for accessible passenger transport continues to grow, PLS has seen a steady increase in service activity across both new and existing installations.

This growth reflects how operators are placing greater emphasis on preventative maintenance, long-term reliability and responsive technical support. In practical terms, this has meant supporting a wider installed base, increased call-out volumes and more planned maintenance programmes.

To support this demand, the PLS service team has expanded to include three customer support staff in the office, two dedicated parts staff, and seven service engineers providing technical support across PLS installations nationwide.

This structure enables PLS to support customers throughout the operational life of their passenger lift systems.

When accessibility equipment supports essential transport services, long-term confidence comes from knowing where it is built and who stands behind it.

Passenger lifts designed and manufactured in the UK benefit from direct engineering oversight, practical understanding of UK vehicles and regulations, and aftersales support that remains close to the operator throughout the equipment’s working life. This local approach supports clearer communication, faster responses, and solutions designed for how vehicles are actually used day to day.

Solutions shaped by local experience reflect the realities of UK operating environments, from vehicle layouts and duty cycles to weather exposure, servicing requirements and regulatory expectations. For local authorities and fleet operators, this translates into dependable performance, accountability and ongoing support.

We are supporting operators as they prepare for the end of exemptions under the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations (PSVAR) for rail replacement services on 31 July, with ministers confirming that no extensions will be granted.

With a fixed deadline now in place, operators and vehicle owners must ensure PSVAR compliance for any vehicles operating in scope.

We are already working with operators on both PSVAR-compliant new-build vehicles and structured retrofit projects, supporting practical decisions around passenger lift installation and upgrade.

If you are planning new vehicle builds or PSVAR retrofit programmes, now is the time to start those conversations to help secure production and installation schedules ahead of the July deadline.

To discuss planning options or next steps, contact the team at Passenger Lift Solutions.

We’ve just received the 400th order for our EA4 inboard lift – less than 18 months on from launch.

Since the EA4 was introduced, it’s been specified by customers not just here in the UK, but further afield too, with lifts now supplied into France, The Netherlands, Ireland, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The EA4 was developed through close consultation with operators and end users, with a focus on stability, flexibility and straightforward installation across a wide range of vehicle types. Seeing it adopted so quickly, and across so many markets, is a strong endorsement of that approach.
