Hidden Platform Lifts
The innovative hidden step lift sits flush with the floor and rises up to overcome steps or a small difference in height. These disabled access lifts are a cost-effective and space-saving way to improve accessibility within both private and public buildings. Ease of installation and compact design makes them a popular alternative to ramps. The Platform Lift Company offers three types of models which come in different lift sizes. the Cantilever, the Hidden Platform Lift (HDN) and the Step Lift Bespoke. Each of these products can be covered to match an existing floor material or architectural style. Our step lift products are suitable for heights of up to 2m.
