Step Lifts

Are you trying to make your home wheelchair-friendly? Or are you having mobility problems as a result of ageing or injury? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then yes – one of our small step lifts could be perfect for you!

If you have a step up into your property, naturally the first thing to do would be to consider building a wheelchair ramp. But there are times when a ramp is simply not feasible, often due to a lack of space and physical requirements (i.e. the ability to push a wheelchair up and down the slope).

Here at Level Access Lifts, we understand how frustrating it can be – not being able to move freely around your home or gain access to public buildings unassisted. It’s for this reason we recommend our small step lifts.

The great thing about our electric step lifts is that they can be used to scale a single step or a number of steps. But more importantly, they prevent the need for those with reduced mobility to negotiate the stairs which could, in turn, result in serious injury.

To find out more about our steplifts, and whether you could benefit from one, get in touch today. Our team has unrivalled experience in this field and will be more than happy to advise on the best one for you.

So, you’re considering installing a permanent electrical fixture beside the steps up to your property? You’re probably thinking that it’s a huge undertaking – and an expensive one at that – right?

Wrong! Something that surprises many people about step lifts is that they tend to work out cheaper than building wheelchair ramps and don’t require anywhere near as much space.

Not all step lifts are the same and prices can vary depending on several factors, including the height of the step, platform size and whether it’s used indoors or outdoors. Luckily, all our electric step lifts are made bespoke to suit you and your home or business. We have an extensive range of styles and sizes to choose from, here at Level Access Lifts, and strive to offer the most competitive prices.

The best way to find out how much a step lift costs is to fill in the online enquiry form or drop us an email at info@levellifts.co.uk, outlining your specific requirements. A member of our team will then get back to you with a tailored quote as soon as we have priced up the job (including installation). If everything is to your liking, be sure to let us know and we’ll get started straight away.

Steplifts – also written ‘step lifts’ – are designed for short-travel and are relatively compact in design. When wheelchair access is obstructed by steps, or a ramp isn’t viable, a step lift provides a practical and cost-efficient alternative and ensures easy entry for those with reduced mobility.

Although step lifts are typically used outdoors, to allow access into domestic and commercial buildings, they can also come in useful indoors.

All of our electric step lifts are suitable for indoor and outdoor use and can travel a maximum of 2 stops (3 metres). Our commercial lifts have increased safety features which makes them ideal for public spaces.

However, the revolutionary Flexstep is an all-in-one system that can be transformed from a fixed set of stairs into a step lift by the simple push of a button. Step lifts, like this one, are perfect for retail settings as they remove the need for both a lift and stairs, yet provide easy access for disabled and pedestrian users alike.

If you’re not too sure where you could install a step lift at your property, don’t hesitate to contact the team, here at Level Access Lifts. We will gladly share our expertise and advise on the most suitable place – ensuring maximum convenience and safety for everyone.

These lifts are available in an assortment of styles, but how do you know which is right for you?

Four factors to consider:

1. Available space – wheelchair lifts can be installed inside and outside (depending on the size of your property and personal requirements). But they take up a lot of space, so you need to choose one that is suitable for the area.
2. Type of lift – from platform lifts that transport passengers quickly and safely between varying heights to wheelchair lifts for stairs (or inclined platform stairlifts) that transfer both the wheelchair user and their chair in one go. We have something for everyone.
3. Longevity – a wheelchair lift is supposed to be a lifetime investment – one that you can rely on for years to come. Be sure to check the maximum capacity it can hold and only purchase from a reputable manufacturer with excellent reviews (like us at Level Access Lifts!).
4. Lift features – you might prefer a lift that operates quietly. Or perhaps you consider yourself a technophobe and want a wheelchair lift that’s simple to use. Whatever it may be, it pays to look carefully at a lift’s technical details and features.

Luckily at Level Access Lifts, we supply multiple step lift solutions meaning that you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to figuring out which one is best for your facility! Each of our options have different features that make them perfect for multiple environments. Step lefts are usually found in high traffic areas, as well as the home for a more personal use. It is worth keeping this in mind when looking at what each steplift has to offer, and how it can fit in perfectly with your surroundings.

If you are looking for a step lift for outside use, then our Open Style Platform Lift might be for you. Or if you want one of our many smart step lifts to fit seamlessly into your building, then our Staircase & Lift All in One option could be the way to go.

Regardless of the step lift that you choose to go for, they should be regularly maintained to ensure that they remain safe to use for either yourself or the people in your building. The book stops with you here and you hold all responsibility for this.

Ideally, on a daily basis, you should look to see if all of the mechanisms on your step lift are still functioning as normal. This ensures that you can open up your premises next time safe in the knowledge that all of your equipment is fit and proper, ready for use. If you detect a problem, it is imperative that you immediately contact a step lifts professional so it can be eliminated as soon as possible. We recommend putting your machine out of order until this is completed.
