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.
Up to 2m (12 steps)
Step Lift Bespoke
A built to specification step lift that can be configurated according to the building layout and architectural design. The Step Lift Bespoke is embedded into a flight of steps or stairs with a platform at the upper level or lower level. When activated the steps/stairs fold to a flat surface. Or Step Lift Bespoke transforms into a platform lift when the system is activated to eliminate the need for an upper or lower platform.
