How does a Platform Lift work?

Similar to a stairlift, a platform lift uses a rail, this can be either straight or curved, which is attached to the treads of your stairs. If space is at a premium, some options also allow to be wall-mounted, this is only possible if the wall is structurally strong such as brick or concrete.

Attached to the rail is a Platform, which is made to accommodate a wheelchair or powerchair and it’s user. If it is for a public space, you can also choose to have a fold-down seat added, which makes the platform-lift accessible to non-wheelchair users alike. Platform lifts are also well suited for use with prams, rollators and walking frames.

Platform Lifts

The Platform-Lift folds up when it isn’t in use, allowing for additional space and an overall neater appearance. The Platform itself can differ a bit from model to model and based on the options that you have chosen.

Platform Lifts

It has “lips” on three sides (front, rear and side away from the rail), based on the set-up of your home or stairs you can select from which way it will be the easiest to enter and exit the stairlift both at the top and at the bottom of the stairs. Once the Platformlift arrives at the top of the stairs, the selected lip will automatically lower and you can de-embark the lift. You can then push a button to fold the platform-lift neatly up against the wall or balustrade
