Many people find it very difficult or even impossible to climb a flight of stairs. There are many reasons for this: developing an illness such as emphysema that affects breathing, suffering a stroke, heart attack or accident, or being confined to a wheelchair. A vertical platform lift can provide any of these individuals with easy access to higher levels of any public or domestic building. Elderly and overweight individuals or people with limited mobility can also take advantage of this innovative access solution.
A vertical platform lift is also referred to as a vertical rise platform, enclosed platform lift, short rise platform lift, hydraulic lifting platform or vertical lifting platform. Regardless of the term, this product performs the same function – to transport individuals vertically from one floor or level of a building to another. A vertical platform lift is safe and convenient and takes up much less space than an escalator or ramp. Many new models can be custom tailored to suit a particular building. Customers can choose from a wide range of options, colors and designs to meet their exact requirements.
Business owners should consider installing a convenient vertical platform lift in their commercial or public buildings. Everyone, including disabled individuals, will be able to access levels as high as 9 metres within any building. If you own a building higher than one story, you need to be aware of the 1994 Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). The Act ensures convenient access to all public and commercial buildings for every individual in the UK. Installing a vertical platform lift will ensure you meet the requirements and avoid the risk of receiving a non-compliance fine.
Disabled or elderly individuals can also install a vertical platform lift in their home. A domestic lift provides quick, convenient access to any level of their residence. This product transports individuals safely to the next floor so they don’t have to worry about climbing stairs. Many of the new vertical platform lifts are not only very aesthetically pleasing, but also unobtrusive. They take up very little space and the attractive designs can incorporate colors and materials that perfectly suit their home.
