Ensuring safe, reliable access before they even reach the door.
Providing accessible entry points is not just a matter of convenience; it is a critical legal requirement for commercial buildings under the Equality Act 2010. Outdoor platform lifts offer a highly durable and compact alternative to traditional sprawling concrete ramps, allowing wheelchair users, parents with prams, and delivery workers to bypass entrance steps effortlessly.
Whether you are managing a busy public facility, a commercial shop, or improving the accessibility of a residential driveway, our bespoke external lifts are engineered to withstand the harshest UK weather conditions while providing reliable, independent access year-round.
- Fully compliant with Part M of the Building Regulations and the Equality Act 2010.
- Engineered with advanced weather-proofing and robust safety features for outdoor environments.
- Compact vertical footprint significantly reduces the space required compared to long access ramps.
Outdoor accessibility tailored to your environment.
We stock and install a wide range of standard vertical platform lifts and can also manufacture completely bespoke designs to fit your unique architectural requirements. From short ascents to multi-level external lift shafts, we have a solution.
An incredibly space-efficient alternative to entrance ramps. Capable of carrying up to 500kg, these are perfect for negotiating small changes in level, typically ranging from 1m to 3m in height.
Vertical Platform Lifts Text: Fully enclosed or open-style vertical platform lifts designed for higher ascents. Equipped with advanced safety mechanisms to ensure safe, independent access for wheelchair users entering public buildings.
A rugged, weather-resistant mobility solution for private homes. Providing seamless accessibility to raised front doors or garden tiers without requiring significant internal construction.
Ensuring safe, reliable access before they even reach the door.
Every external lift installation requires careful consideration of both the environment and the user experience. From assessing potential weather exposure to navigating local planning permissions, our engineering team ensures that your outdoor lift is specified flawlessly. We focus on integrating robust, reliable access technology into your property’s exterior without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
Bespoke outdoor specifications.
Ensuring your outdoor lift can withstand the elements is critical. Our consultants will evaluate your specific external environment, determining the required weight capacities (ranging up to 500kg), anti-slip finishes, and necessary communication systems. Because all our lifts operate on open protocol systems, future maintenance and fault-finding are incredibly straightforward.
Fast, non-disruptive external installation.
Installing an external platform lift is often much less invasive than internal construction. Because the lift is built as an external extension, structural disruption to your interior is non-existent. Our directly employed engineers provide a fast turnaround, ensuring your new DDA-compliant access point is operational as quickly as possible.
