The People's lift is a compact vertical platform lift for domestic use and private homes. We have designed this platform lift to offer wheelchair users an affordable but practical solution for their homes. It can also be partly funded using a council disability grant, however this amount will vary.

The People's Lift is a Platform Lift with the option to lock the lift in the up position (The user's home).

Features

The lift

The People's Lift uses our wheel stop mechanism. A solid stainless steel toe guard that rises around the platform to prevent wheelchair wheels from rolling off the lift. Please see on lift barriers for more information.

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

Nominal platform dimensions for this lift can vary due to site requirements.

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

The People's Lift houses a solid stainless steel skirt below the lift. 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.

Variations to the People's Lift

Rather than the site's existing door acting as the upper landing barrier, the Sesame rising barrier can be used as seen here: Whitehall DDA Lift.

The removable handheld post can be upgraded to a rising button post that rises through the lift platform. The post then retracts completely out of sight when not in use, as seen here: Victoria Chair Lift in London.

Alternatively, the removable handheld post can be replaced with a permanent button post as seen here: Mayfair Stairlift. This system also requires a significantly shallower lift pit.

If you need to maintain the same layout of the staircase but do not have the vertical pit depth then the Kensington Stairlift in London is the answer.
