Step Lifts for Homes & Public Buildings

Step Lift Installation for Accessible Entry and Internal Access

We design and install step lifts to provide safe access over small changes in level in residential, commercial and public buildings across the UK.

Step lifts are typically used where a small number of steps prevents access and where ramps or full lift installations are not practical. They provide a straightforward, space-efficient solution for wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility.

What is a Step Lift?

Step lifts are compact platform lifts designed to overcome short height differences, typically up to 1 metre.

They are commonly installed at entrances, split-level areas and internal steps where access needs to be improved without significant structural alteration. Systems are available in open or enclosed formats, depending on the building and environment.

Step Lift Installation

Step lift installation is usually straightforward and can often be completed with minimal structural work.

Each system is planned around the available space, access points and how the lift will be used. This includes platform size, travel height and whether the lift will be installed internally or externally.

In most cases, step lifts can be installed with low or no pit requirements, making them suitable for both new and existing buildings.

Where Step Lifts are Commonly Used

Step lifts are typically installed where access is required over small level changes and space is limited.

  • Residential homes for level access between floors or garden areas
  • Public entrances and schools for DDA compliance
  • Retail stores and restaurants
  • Listed buildings and churches where space or aesthetics limit ramp access

Why Specify a Step Lift

Step lifts are typically specified where access is required but space, structure or cost make ramps or full lift systems impractical.

They provide a practical solution for improving accessibility without significant alteration to the building.

Safety and Compliance

Step lifts are installed in line with relevant UK accessibility requirements, including DDA and Part M of the Building Regulations.

Depending on the system, installations may also fall under EN81-41 standards. All lifts are tested and commissioned to ensure safe operation.
