Disability Access Platforms
Platform lifts provide disability access between split levels up to one storey high.
A platform lift is a simplified elevator comprising of just a vertically moving floor without the walls and ceiling of an enclosed lift car.
Platform lifts operating between split levels usually do not require a lift shaft enclosure. Interlocked barriers or gates prevent people accidentally stepping into the platform area from above, while pressure sensing prevents a crush hazard beneath the platform. A fully or partially enclosed lift shaft, similar to a conventional elevator, is typically required for platforms that travel more than 1.5 metres. Platform lifts can be installed indoors or outside the building.
