Vertical Platform Lifts for the Home

Vertical Lifts provide a safe and reliable solution when there are problems concerning accessibility. Here at Level Access Lifts, we supply Vertical Lifts to reach different floors inside and outside of buildings.

Our Vertical Lifts are designed with the needs of those with reduced mobility or disabilities in mind. As well as this, they are tailored towards the requirements of the elderly who may find it difficult to climb stairs, along with parents with pushchairs. We provide Vertical Lifts in all shapes and sizes, offering a perfect fit to almost any area, whether it be indoors or outdoors.

There are countless reasons why Vertical Lifts are so popular, one of these being that they are considered to provide a practical solution for keeping all areas accessible. They are designed to suit areas of limited space and ensure that wheelchair users can still access the same facilities as everyone else.

When wheelchair users travel between levels, the Vertical Platform Lifts make it much easier and convenient, allowing them to transfer with ease. Our lifts also prevent the risk of serious injury, allowing passengers to transfer in a way that’s safe and comfortable- they enable them to remain in their wheelchair.

Vertical Lifts are said to be versatile and although they have a similar function and purpose to elevators, they are a cost-effective alternative to make.

A Vertical Lift is extremely versatile and easily installed. Installation is typically carried out within a 2 to 3 day period.

The best places to install a Vertical Lift often tends to be somewhere visible- somewhere that can be easily seen. When used inside working environments, Vertical Lifts allow for easy transportation and ensure that health and safety standards are met. In addition to this, the Vertical Lifts are designed to enhance employee safety.

Positioning Vertical Lifts near the stairs is also a good idea. To save wheelchair users attempting to climb the stairs, the Vertical Lifts make it much easier for them to reach various floor levels. A Vertical Lift from Level Lifts is designed to provide sufficient space for wheelchairs and carers.

When it comes to installing a Vertical Lift, it’s prudent to choose somewhere that will enhance accessibility. If you need any help choosing where to install a Vertical Platform Lift, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today!

The way vertical platform lifts work is straightforward.

A screw pole runs the entire length of the shaft while a motor on the platform drives a nut that’s attached to the screw.

Both the motor and nut are affixed to the platform wall. When the lift is operated, the motor drives the nut, causing it to rotate around the screw.

When this happens, the lift will go either up or down, depending on which direction it is turning.

If the motor stops suddenly, the lift won’t fall or ‘dread drop’, it will simply sit on the thread.

Vertical platform lifts come in all shapes and sizes and can be used in domestic and commercial settings.

Whilst some of the vertical lifts we supply can be used outdoors – providing a convenient means of entry for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility – this is not the case for them all.

If you’re looking to make your property more accessible from the outside (i.e. if there’s a steep ramp or steps leading up to your door), we recommend the British Style Platform Lift. This vertical lift can be used indoors and out, and travels a maximum of 7m (5 stops).
