FAQs

Can the end user get stuck inside the vertical platform lift?

Yes, this can happen. However, there are a number of safety features that can minimise any distress that could occur, should this happen. Our manufactured platform lifts come with a battery back-up which can provide the ability to the lower lift in the case of a power cut. Other platform lifts have battery back-up as an option as well as the ability to hand lower the lift and emergency release the passenger from the landing.

Can the speed on a vertical platform lift be altered?

The speed of our lifts is regulated by the current Machinery Directive (EU law) and the current maximum speed is 0.15 m/s, so we are unable to increase this.
