Enclosed Vertical Platform Lifts
Probably the simplest lift to explain, as it looks and operates in much the same way as a standard commercial passenger lift. There are, however, several key differences between our enclosed vertical platform lifts and the lift you might find in a hotel lobby, for example.
- They are designed to accommodate a wide range of access requirements.
- They are designed for travelling relatively short distances (typically around 9 metres), whereas a traditional commercial lift could be required to travel dozens of floors.
- The lift platform travels within its own fully enclosed structure, securely fixed to a wall or floor level, removing the need for costly building works and provision of a lift shaft. This makes our disabled platform lift a viable option for domestic or small commercial business use.
- Speed and capacity are typically lower than traditional commercial passenger lifts. In commercial applications however, heavy duty lifts can increase capacity and be a handy way of transporting stock or equipment between floors
- Unlike your typical lift, all our UK models come with a wide range of customisation options, enabling you to tailor the enclosure and colours to complement the surroundings and best serve the lift’s users.
- Every lift is robust, safe and easy to use. They are compliant to the relevant European standard EN81-41
