Increasing Disabled Access

Disability lifts are perhaps the most useful pieces of accessibility equipment available. They provide an essential lifeline for people with mobility issues, helping them to take part in ordinary life by visiting restaurants or supermarkets and doing everything else that more mobile people take for granted.

Even fully mobile people are aware how difficult and tiring it is to climb several flights of stairs, especially several times a day. It isn’t fair that people with mobility issues should be forced to do this, whether it’s to do their job or to spend time with friends. It is very important that less mobile people are supported in accessing buildings and services, and platform lifts represent the easiest and most cost-effective way for you to play your part.

The Benefits of Increased Accessibility

The knowledge that they will be able to access a building safely makes the daily lives of less mobile people much easier. Passenger lifts are very cost-effective. The more compact modern designs mean less installation work for builders and less disruption for you. High-quality components lower the maintenance required and reduce the costs of repair in the rare event that the lift breaks down.

Advances in technology also allow for passenger lifts with very low energy usage and silent operation. The ability to choose a bespoke design to blend into your existing building means that disability lifts needn’t be intrusive – a modern lift has a much smaller footprint and occupies far less space.

Additionally, by increasing accessibility to your building, you open up your business to a huge segment of the market that has long been ignored. There are around nine million disabled consumers in Britain with a combined purchasing power of £50 billion a year.

Not only does your business benefit financially, but morally too: your customers deserve to be treated equally and with dignity. The law supports this, with the Disability Discrimination Act making it obligatory for anyone providing a service to the public to improve access for everyone regardless of their mobility. We believe, and are sure you do too, that a more inclusive society means a happier society for everyone.
