✓2-in-1 Staircase and Platform Lift

The FlexStep functions as a regular staircase, and with the push of a button transforms into a platform lift for wheelchair users or those with mobility impairments. This makes it particularly space-efficient where separate stairs + lift would otherwise be required. For your business, emphasise how it addresses both able-bodied users (stairs) and accessibility requirements in one solution.

✓ Customisable Dimensions & Configurations
Standard widths: 700mm, 800mm, 900mm and 1000mm. Models available with 2 up to 6 steps. For your site you can highlight the flexibility for new builds and refurbishment projects

✓ Safety Features
Includes anti-crush pressure plates under the platform, infrared “light curtain” sensors between steps to prevent crushing or entrapment. Automatically stops if overloaded (lifting capacity cited as 400 kg / 2 persons) or if uneven weight distribution. Optional automatic onboard barrier (especially for 4, 5 & 6 step models) for enhanced fall-protection

✓ Built for Easy Integration & Minimal Structural Alteration
No deep pit or major structural changes required in many cases—the FlexStep is designed for retrofit or new build. Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.

✓ Design & Aesthetic Versatility
The finish of steps, handrails, balustrades and materials (e.g., ash, beech, walnut, aluminium) can be tailored to match the surrounding décor. The product is built to “merge into the environment” rather than look like an add-on.

✓ Space-Saving, Future-Proof Accessibility Solution
The FlexStep presents a compact access solution where space is limited (common in older buildings, refurbishments, split-levels). Offers a way to comply with accessibility requirements without significantly altering building fabric or installing a separate lift + stairs

Key Benefits

Dual Functionality

One of the strongest selling points is that the FlexStep is a true 2-in-1 solution: it functions as a normal staircase for pedestrians, and with the press of a button transforms into a platform lift for wheelchair users or walking-impaired persons.

Space-Saving & Flexible Installation

The FlexStep is designed for both new builds and retrofit scenarios, and can be configured for between 2 and 6 steps (lifting height up to ~1,295 mm) with various widths.

Customisation & Aesthetics

The product is not just “function over form” – it offers many design options so that it can blend into the décor and architecture of a building.

High Safety Standards & Compliance

The FlexStep includes numerous safety features: infrared light curtain monitoring, anti-squeeze protection plates, automatic onboard barrier (for larger models), and compliance with the EU Machinery Directive (CE marking) etc
