Features

• The lift

  The Portobello Wheelchair Lift has toe guards that engage before the lift has reached 200mm so to conform to British Standards. Please see on lift barriers for more information on the required wheelchair lift barriers.

  The lift table can be made to accept any cladding, the thicker the cladding the deeper the pit depth.

  Nominal useable platform dimensions for this lift can vary due to site requirements, however, they have minimum dimensions of:

  1400 mm (l) x 900 mm (w) This does not include the vertical drive mechanism or the space required for the wheel stop.

  The vertical drive mechanism can be clad in whatever material the client specifies.

  Please click on the lifting actuator link for more information on the mechanism used to raise and lower the stair lift.

• The upper landing barrier

  When the wheelchair lift rise is above 500 mm then an upper landing barrier is required. This example shows the existing door as the upper landing barrier however our standard gate or rising barrier can be used.

  For more information click the upper landing barriers link.

• System requirements

  The Portobello Wheelchair Lift houses a touch-sensitive pan below the wheelchair lift table that stops the travel of the lift when an obstruction is detected therefore there are no bellows or skirts to conceal the area below the wheelchair lift in this example. We can however add a skirt but the pit depth will increase.

  Please see concealing the underside of the lift for more information.

  For details on the power supply please see the lift power supply.

  For general details on the pit depth please see the lift pit.

  If the surrounding area presents a crush zone the lift table can be fitted with safety edges to detect an obstruction. Please see the crush hazards surrounding the moving lift for more information.

  Please see the Sesame stair lift controls for more information on the controls for this style of lift.

• Variations to the Portobello Wheelchair Lift

  This wheelchair lift can allow the Sesame retracting stairs to extend over the lift table. An example of the retracting stairs but with a standard wheelchair lift below can be seen here: Kensington Stairlift in London.
