Public Platform lifts – the alternative to a passenger lift
Platform lifts in public settings are utilised to transport those who experience mobility issues, disabilities, wheelchair users and those who cannot walk or stand for prolonged amounts of time. They are the ideal accessibility solution and a great alternative to traditional passenger lifts for a variety of reasons ranging from space saving advantages, minimal associated building works, cost efficient price and fast installation time.

How does a public platform lift work?
A public platform lift is also referred to as a vertical platform lift, this is because it transports you vertically from floor to floor through the ceiling. With this concept, it is very similar to a traditional passenger lift that you would find in buildings and alike public settings such as hotels and offices – however, is a much more affordable solution.
Without the need for a lift pit, shaft or machine room, our lifts are self-supporting structures that feature innovative spindle drive technology. Benefiting from quiet operation and energy consumption savings.
Innovative and easy to use, our public lift models feature a remote control and electric motor which act as a controls, which together enable the transportation of people and any additional loads such a goods transportation, and shopping! You don’t have to worry about your safety either, because all our lifts are equipped with extensive safety precautions. All our models are equipped with a safety bar – as soon as you touch it, the lift stops automatically. The same applies if the lift detects an obstacle.
Why Choose a public platform lift?
Platform lifts have many adjustable variables, providing ease of installation in existing buildings in comparison to conventional passenger lifts which demand further architectural changes, often including a dedicated shaft space, pit depth and motor room. With a load capacity of up to 1000kg and lifting height of up to 12m, our vertical platform lifts are an ideal solution for public buildings and spaces – providing accessibility for all end users.
