Types of Platform Lifts

The type of platform lift required depends on building layout, level changes and how the lift will be used day to day.

Vertical Platform Lifts
Travel directly between floors and are commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings. Suitable for internal or external installations, they provide a straightforward solution for step-free access.
Inclined Platform Lifts
Installed alongside staircases, these lifts follow the angle of the stairs and are ideal where space is limited or where structural changes need to be kept to a minimum.
Enclosed Platform Lifts
Designed with full-height panels or glazed shafts, these systems offer additional safety and are often used in public buildings or high-traffic environments.
Open Platform Lifts
A compact option for short level changes, often used in homes, small commercial spaces, or split-level layouts.

Platform Lift Installation

Platform lifts can often be installed with minimal structural changes, making them suitable for both new builds and existing properties.

Our platform lift installation process is planned around the building layout, access points and how the lift will be used day to day. This includes considerations such as available space, travel height, and whether the lift will be used indoors or outdoors.

Depending on the property, platform lifts can be installed with or without a shaft, and options such as low-pit or pitless designs can help reduce disruption during installation.

Do Platform Lifts Require Structural Work?

Platform lifts are designed to be installed with minimal structural changes compared to traditional lifts.

In many cases, they can be fitted without a full lift shaft or machine room, making them ideal for retrofit projects or buildings where space is limited.

The level of work required will depend on the lift type, travel distance, and installation location, but most systems are designed to integrate into existing layouts with minimal disruption.

Safety and Compliance

All platform lifts are installed in line with UK regulations, including DDA requirements, Part M, and EN81-41 where applicable.

We handle testing, certification, and ongoing servicing to ensure safe and compliant operation.
