Set in Visakhapatnam and connected by the NH-16, Visakhapatnam is characterised by high-rise beachfront apartments, port and steel plant township. For owners of these properties, the recurring problem is making an existing building accessible without a full lift shaft. For Visakhapatnam, Rieka specifies the Platform Lift around the building's actual constraints: 250–400 kg, 0.15 m/s, wheelchair platform 900×1400 mm, open or enclosed shaft.
Rieka's advantage in Visakhapatnam

- Written quote with every line itemised — no hidden civil or AMC add-ons
- Imported traction machines and controllers with Indian-condition derating
- Local spares stocking for Visakhapatnam, so a controller card does not mean a week of downtime

Frequently asked questions
Yes, and platform lift retrofits are a large part of what we do in Visakhapatnam, because most high-rise beachfront apartments, port and steel plant township here were built before lifts were standard. The engineer checks load-bearing capacity, available shaft space and headroom, then proposes a configuration that fits - for a Platform Lift that often means a compact or pitless build.
Call Rieka and an engineer schedules a Visakhapatnam site visit, usually within 48 hours. The visit is free. You receive a written Platform Lift proposal with itemised pricing - machine, structure, doors, civil guidance, installation and optional AMC - so nothing appears later as an extra.
An MRL puts a compact gearless machine inside the shaft, removing the overhead machine room - which in Visakhapatnam often decides whether the project is viable at all. For Visakhapatnam buildings constrained by municipal height limits or committed terrace space, that is often the deciding factor — and the gearless drive draws less power.
Rieka specifies VFD drives on Platform Lift units, which draw up to 40% less than older two-speed machines. For a typical Visakhapatnam building the monthly running cost of a platform lift is modest; the engineer calculates the actual figure for your stop count and usage pattern during the survey.
A properly maintained Platform Lift runs 20-25 years before major modernisation, with ropes, door gear and controller components replaced on schedule along the way. In Visakhapatnam, where port, steel and IT drives usage patterns, the engineer sets the service interval against actual duty cycle rather than a generic calendar.
Every Rieka Platform Lift in Visakhapatnam ships with an ARD - Automatic Rescue Device - as standard, not as a paid extra. On power failure the platform lift moves to the nearest landing on battery and opens the doors. Given the supply pattern in parts of Visakhapatnam, we treat this as non-negotiable.
