If you own a business that operates in a multi-level building, you should strongly consider purchasing a platform lift. This innovative lift product can be installed in almost any commercial or public building, and it allows individuals to travel safely and easily from one floor or level to another. Some vertical platform lifts will travel as high as 9 meters. However, less obtrusive models are also available for lower lift travels
In addition to being convenient, a platform lift or similar device is now required by law. The final stage of the Disability Discrimination Act or DDA was implemented in October 2004. This Act requires that all public access buildings in the UK be able to accommodate any individuals with a disability. This includes providing access to individuals confined to a wheelchair. Companies who don’t meet the requirements may face hefty fines.
Platform lifts can also increase your customer base. They will attract a greater number of individuals who may not otherwise be able to visit your store or office. Clients who are confined to a wheelchair are unable to access multi-story buildings that don’t contain a lift. However, you may also be excluding many other customers if your business is located above ground level. Customers who are recovering from an illness or who have undergone recent surgery may find it too difficult to climb a flight of stairs to reach your establishment. Elderly customers may also choose to visit a more convenient business on ground level. Purchasing and installing a convenient platform lift can solve this problem by allowing access to all individuals.
If you’re concerned about how the installation of a platform lift will affect the appearance of your building, there is no need to worry. The new platform lifts are not only very technologically advanced, but also very aesthetically pleasing. Many lifts feature attractive designs available with a wide range of options with a choice of colours and styles. You can choose the platform lift that will best suit the style and location of your building.
Platform lifts are not only very safe, but also quiet. They have emergency lowering facilities and are built with high quality materials. Customers or employees can feel confident that they will arrive at the right floor level in safety by using an innovative platform lift.
