Wheelchair Lift Installation & System Design
Wheelchair platform lifts are installed where step-free access is required and a full passenger lift installation may not be practical due to space or structural limitations.
They are commonly used at entrances, level changes and raised access areas within residential, commercial and public buildings.
Systems can be configured for both internal and external installations, including compact and low-rise applications where minimal structural alteration is preferred.
Each installation is specified around the layout, travel height and access requirements of the property.
Planning & Access Requirements
Wheelchair lifts need to be planned around the layout and accessibility requirements of the building, particularly where retrofit constraints or restricted installation space need to be considered.
Factors such as travel height, available floor space, access points and intended usage all influence the type of lift system that is suitable for the property.
Low pit and reduced builder’s work configurations can often help simplify installation within existing buildings.
