HDN (Hidden Step Lift)

Concealed Accessibility Lift for Internal & External Level Changes

The HDN Hidden Step Lift is a concealed platform lift designed to provide wheelchair access across level changes within commercial, public and residential environments.

The lift platform remains hidden beneath the finished floor surface when not in use, helping preserve open circulation areas and minimise visual impact within entrances, reception spaces, retail premises and public buildings.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, the HDN system provides a discreet accessibility solution where space restrictions, planning considerations or existing building layouts may limit the use of traditional ramps or platform lifts.

Designed for Existing Buildings & Refurbishment Projects

The HDN system is commonly installed within existing buildings where accessibility improvements are required without significant structural alteration or permanent obstruction of access routes.

Its concealed design allows the surrounding floor finish to continue across the lift platform, helping maintain the appearance and functionality of entrances, reception areas and public access points.

The lift is particularly suited to offices, retail premises, hospitality environments and public buildings where accessibility requirements need to be balanced alongside available space and day-to-day building operation.

Space-Efficient Accessibility Solution

The HDN Hidden Step Lift requires significantly less space than a traditional access ramp for small level changes, making it suitable for projects where floor space is limited or circulation areas need to remain clear.

The system can be configured for different platform sizes, call station positions and installation layouts depending on building requirements and user access needs.
