Vertical Access Lifts
Compact vertical platform lifts for stepped entrances and tight spaces where a ramp or full lift is not feasible.
Where staircases or stepped entrances prevent wheelchair access and building a compliant 1:12 slope ramp would require 20 to 30 meters of space, compact vertical access lifts provide an elegant, small-footprint solution.
Overview & Operation
How Vertical Access Lifts Work
A vertical platform lift travels straight up and down between level changes up to several meters. Available in open platform designs (like Unaporte) or fully enclosed glass shafts (like PLV9), requiring minimal to zero pit depth.
