Hidden Platform Lifts
Disabled Access Wheelchair Lifts
The Hidden Platform Lift Specialists
Ideal for Historical A-Listers
Hidden platform lifts are an ideal, low-rise disabled access solution, perfect for enabling users to navigate spaces as well as subtly blending into the surrounding environment. When not in use, the complete mechanism disappears below ground level, leaving just the matching floor finish of the platform.
To protect the operator, we use automatic descending wheelchair stops as well as lowering grab rails and barriers. These lifts are suitable for internal and external environments and are especially popular in heritage properties where it is important that the lift is unobtrusive and doesn’t draw attention in the surrounding environment. Our platform lift installations are truly bespoke and customisable, working with you to create the most innovative hidden platform lift that fits your precise needs.

Here at Lyfthaus, we firmly believe in our Lifts Without Limits ethos. This has led us to have little limitations on the level of customisation that we can offer on our bespoke platform lifts. From buttons and barriers to finish and finials – it’s all up to you!
Our platform life engineers can work closely with the architect and builder assigned to your project, ensuring your bespoke platform lift wheelchair solutions meld flawlessly into the built environment. Our platform lift design has no limits, so whether your property is contemporary, heritage or somewhere in between, we can do it all!
A selection of materials we can work with for platform lift installation includes bronze, brass, stainless steel, cast iron, wrought iron, timber, stone, marble and tiles.
Vanishing DDA Lifts
As well as the materials and technology behind your platform lift the style and configuration of it can be completely your choice. Our Platform lift engineers will work with you to ensure that the finished product meets your precise operational and architectural needs.
An example is your gates and barriers. These can be made from glass panels, ribs, spindles, laser cut panels, aluminium, various types of wood or a range of other materials. Our Platform lift design will give you countless options to make your vanishing DDA lift unique – the only trouble you’ll have is picking what you like best!
