The Portable Platform Lift provides a practical and flexible solution where wheelchair access is required on a temporary basis. The compact lift folds down easily for transportation and storage. It is the perfect solution for stages and mezzanine levels in schools, theatres, village halls and other public buildings.
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.
Why should I choose Terry Lifts for my lift and service needs?
Terry Lifts have over 40 years of experience in the lift industry. We are an ISO 9001:2015 certificated manufacturer offering a complete range of lift solutions. Many of our lifts are manufactured in our factory in Knutsford, Cheshire and we support the UK economy by employing more than 80 people. We pride ourselves in designing safe and user-friendly products, which are CE marked and comply with all the relevant BS and European standards, where appropriate. Furthermore, Terry Lifts are the only company that is independently certificated to BS5900:2012 and the EU Machinery Directive for a lift travel above 3 metres, covering ‘Through the floor fully enclosed and unenclosed Home Lifts’.
Is your company quality certificated to ISO 9001:2015?
Yes, a manufacturer cannot be a full member of LEIA, our lift association without being Quality Assured to ISO 9001. This is a kite mark of quality and is seen as a basic requirement that a purchaser of such a safety critical product should look for. Our certification covers the design, development, manufacture, supply, installation, service and repair of domestic and public access products.
Are you a member of any recognised Trade Association?
Yes, we are founder members of LEIA (Lifts & Escalator Industry Association) and we are signed up to our Association’s Code of Practice which is there to protect the consumer from poor or unethical selling and business practices. If you are considering an alternative supplier, we recommend asking where the lift is manufactured and whether they are members of a recognised industry body. Terry Lifts are also members of the BHTA (British Health Trades Association) and work with them on improving industry standards.
To say I am ‘very pleased’ with my extremely well designed lift is an understatement!
Mrs. Dorricott Chester A visit to Terry Lifts’ factory proved decisive for us to have our lift installed. Your staff took all the necessary time to explain the lift features and answer our questions.
Mrs. Steele Stoke-on-Trent I would recommend Terry lifts to anyone looking for a lift. Very profession
