Platform Lifts
The issue of space is one that must be addressed with the installation of an inclined platform lift. They provide little intrusion as the inclined platform can be folded away to leave the staircase free of obstruction. An inclined platform lift can be customised to fit straight or curved staircases, and can even be weatherproofed for outside installation. The width and height of a staircase is taken into account to ensure that there is as little obstruction as possible, and both normal stair users and wheelchair users are able to safely travel between floors. Safety is an important issue when installing an inclined platform lift, and is therefore treated as such.
Inclined platform lifts are a relatively cost-effective solution to the problem of creating wheelchair acces via a lift installation can be easy. In today’s society, businesses can often be subject to a fine of up to £50,000 for not providing a means for wheelchair users to travel from floor to floor. An inclined platform lift is a good way to avoid this expense.
