1. A method for installing a modular lift within a shaft, comprising:
inserting a frame of the lift within the shaft, the frame comprising one or more stabilisers, arranged in an orthogonal orientation in relation to a longitudinal axis of the frame and protruding from the frame at an adjustable distance;
adapting the one or more stabilisers to contact an internal face of the shaft by setting the adjustable distance; wherein
the frame is held in position by the forces exerted through the stabilisers.
