Platform lifts
In addition to stairlifts, we provide a wide range of accessibility solutions including Garaventa Lift inclined platform lifts and Savaria and Garaventa Lift vertical platform and wheelchair lifts. Designed to provide seamless accessibility over stairs - both indoors and outdoors, whether in private homes or public buildings - our safe and reliable wheelchair lifts ensure that accessibility needs and code requirements are met efficiently.
When is a wheelchair lift beneficial?
- When providing access to a building, or level within a building, to persons using a wheelchair or mobility scooter
- When space limitations make a wheelchair ramp or full-sized elevator impractical
- In public spaces to ensure accessibility requirements are met, and environments are welcoming and inclusive

- Cost-effective: lower cost for installation and operation compared to full-sized passenger lifts
- Energy efficient: modern models are designed to be energy-efficient to reduce both operational costs and environmental impact
- Regulatory compliance: meets public building accessibility standards in many countries
- Customisable designs: available in various colours and finishes to complement architecture
Platform wheelchair lifts for indoor use
Indoor platform lifts are commonly used in public buildings or multi-family residences without passenger lifts. They can also be installed in private homes to provide accessibility between floors and ensure wheelchair accessibility within the home.
Platform wheelchair lifts for outdoor use
Outdoor platform lifts are ideal for providing accessibility to homes and buildings that feature steps up to the entrance, in terraced areas, or to generally improve building wheelchair access. Simple and easy to operate with press and hold controls, all our outdoor wheelchair lifts are built to be weather-resistant and durable.
Flexible design options
Our inclined platform wheelchair lifts are available for both curved stairs and straight stairs, with or without intermediate landings, making them suitable for multi-storey buildings or long outdoor distances. Our proprietary PS4D photo measuring tool provides incredibly accurate measurement of staircases to ensure a perfect fit of the lift rails for a smooth and seamless ride.
Our vertical platform wheelchair lifts - available in enclosed and unenclosed - are suitable for straight up-and-down travel between 1219 mm and up to 4343 mm. Built to be reliable even under harsh outdoor conditions, they’re available with straight-through entry/exit for ease of use, and offer a capacity up to 400 kg.
