A Surrey based engineering firm has reached for the sky, with their first ever export installation in the USA.

The Space Needle, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, and a treasured Seattle icon, commissioned a UK Sesame Access ‘invisible lift’.

The specification was for a high quality but unobtrusive wheelchair access lift, to transport wheelchair users 900mm within the viewing platform. The Sesame stairlift was installed and commissioned in August 2018.

Sesame’s five step vertically retracting lift was installed as part of Space Needle’s $100m renovations called a ‘Space Lift’. During the renovations, the 360 degree observation deck, which stand an impressive 158m in the Seattle sky, was given a complete refurbishment. This included the world’s first and only 360 degree glass rotating floor located 152m above ground.

Sesame appointed to help UK Government with export strategy, sales growth and export advice during Brexit.
