What is a platform lift?

A Platform Lift is primarily designed to give reasonably priced access to people who have difficulty with a staircase. 

On Platform Lifts which serve between 2, or more floor levels, a fully enclosed shaft (rectangular tube) is provided which has relatively smooth internal walls. An L shaped platform moves up and down the shaft carrying a wheelchair and/or people.

The shaft can usually be constructed with either solid or glazed walls, or even a combination of both. 

Advantages of  Platform Lift

• Suitable for anyone who has difficulty with stairs
• Relatively low cost when compared to a conventional lift
• No requirement for a machine room or lifting beam
• Reliable, quiet, economical to own, and totally safe
• Requires little in the way of space or building works
