Step Lifts
Wheelchair Platform Lifts
The bespoke platform lift specialists
Design Freedom
Hidden platform lifts are another low-rise disabled access solution, when not in use they are virtually invisible as the complete mechanism disappears below ground level leaving just the matching floor finish of the platform. To protect the operator we use automatically descending wheelchair stops and lowering grab rails and barriers. These lifts are suitable for internal and external environments and are particularly popular in heritage property where it’s especially important that the lift is unobtrusive and doesn’t draw attention from adjacent architecture or sight lines. Each hidden platform lift is custom built to the clients specific requirements including style, configuration, materials and finish.
The Bold and Beautiful
We firmly believe in our Lifts Without Limits ethos: there are very few limitations on the level of customisation we can offer on our bepsoke platform lifts. From buttons to barriers, finish to finials – it’s all up to you!
We work closely with the architect and builder assigned to your project to ensure that your step lift melds flawlessly into the built environment. Whether your property is contemporary, heritage or somehwere in between, we can do it all! Bronze, brass, stainless stell, cast iron, wrought iron, timber, stone, marble and tiles re just a selection of the materials we can work with.
Industrial Style with a Dash of Drama
The style and configuration of your wheelchair platform lift are also completely your choice; we will work with you to ensure that the finished product meets your precise operational and architectural needs. Glass panels, ribs, spindles, laser cut panels, aluminim and various types of wood can be used for your gates and barriers – the only trouble you’ll have is picking what you like best!
