Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Platform Lift? 

A platform lift can help people with physical disabilities reach different floors in a building. Much like a passenger lift, they also move up and down vertically, but they have less headspace in comparison to a passenger lift. 

How Space Efficient Are Wheelchair Lifts? 

Wheelchair lifts can come in various sizes and shapes, so depending on your space, they can be extremely space efficient.  Wheelchair lifts can be installed in compact areas, including existing stairwells and smaller areas of your home without compromising valuable floor space.

Can You Carry Goods In A Commercial Platform Lift?

Yes! Platform lifts are an economical and efficient option for transporting goods. Heavy duty platform lifts are especially good for heavy loads, as they have more robust flooring and are designed to carry much heavier loads than passenger lifts.

Do platform lifts need to be DDA compliant?

Here in the UK, the Equality Act 2010 states that reasonable adjustments must be made to ensure that disabled individuals have equal access to goods, facilities and services. A DDA platform lift is necessary if it is difficult or impossible for a disabled person to use the facilities in a building. 

How Much Does An Outdoor Wheelchair Lift Cost? 

Outdoor wheelchair lifts can vary in cost, depending on size, features and the installation requirements of your building. However, on average, they will typically cost between £2,000 and £13,000. 

Can disabled wheelchair lift solutions be discreet?

Yes! Disabled wheelchair lift solutions are suitable for either indoor or outdoor use, and they can be customised to suit your surroundings! This means they can be discreetly camouflaged or designed to slot seamlessly into your space!
