What Are Disabled Access Lifts?
Disabled access lifts are devices designed to raise and lower people in wheelchairs, providing access between different levels of a building. They are an ideal solution for both residential and commercial settings where ramps aren’t practical due to space constraints.
Key Features
Bespoke Design
At Lyfthaus, we understand that every space and user’s requirements are unique. Because of this, our bespoke wheelchair lifts are tailored to fit specific needs, whether it’s for a home, office or public building. From platform size and weight capacity to material finishes, we can customise every aspect to ensure the lift seamlessly fits into its environment.
Space Efficiency
One of the main advantages of disabled access lifts is their space efficiency. Unlike ramps, which require a large amount of horizontal space to build, platform lifts are operated vertically, making them perfect for areas with limited space. This feature is particularly helpful in urban settings and older buildings where modifying the structure is challenging.
Safety Features
Our wheelchair lifts are equipped with various safety features, including non-slip surfaces, guard rails, emergency stop buttons and battery backups in case of power failures. These features help the wheelchair lift to be operated reliably, giving users and their caregivers peace of mind.
Ease of Use
Disabled access lifts are designed for ease of use. They typically feature intuitive controls, allowing users to operate the lift independently or with very little assistance. Plus, the smooth and quiet operation of the lifts provides users with more comfortable travel.
Versatility
Our platform lifts are highly versatile – suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They can be installed in various locations, such as alongside staircases, within existing elevator shafts or as standalone units. This means that we can provide a solution regardless of the architectural limitations of the building.
