Buckingham Listed Building Lift
The Buckingham Listed Building Lift uses our solid stainless steel Wheelstop. This toe guard rises around the platform lift to prevent wheelchairs wheels from rolling off. Please see On Lift Barriers for more information.
The lift table can be made to accept any cladding. The stairs retract vertically to form the platform, therefore the stair cladding makes up most of the lift table's finish.
Nominal Platform dimensions for this lift can vary due to site requirements, however they have minimum dimensions of:
1477mm (l) x 1144mm (w) x 0-999mm (h)
The lift can have an adjacently fixed button post for independent control or a removable hand held post that is inserted by a member of staff.
Mayfair - Horizontal Retracting Stair Lift
The Mayfair Stairlift uses our Wheelstop mechanism. A solid stainless steel toe guard that rises around the platform to prevent wheelchair wheels from rolling off the lift. Please see On Lift Barriers for more information.
The lift table can be made to accept any cladding material, the thicker the cladding the deeper the pit depth.
Nominal Platform dimensions for this lift can vary due to site requirements. However they are more than or equal to:
1408mm (l) x 1010mm (w) x 0-999mm (h)
Knightsbridge - Horizontal Retracting Stair Lift
The Knightsbridge Stairlift uses our Wheelstop mechanism. A solid stainless steel toe guard that rises around the platform to prevent wheelchair wheels from rolling off the stairlift. Please see On Lift Barriers for more information.
The lift table can be made to accept any cladding material, the thicker the cladding the deeper the pit depth.
The lift platform houses a rising button post that rises when the stairs have retracted. This gives the user something to hold onto when travelling on the lift and independent control. At the end of the cycle the button post lowers before the stairs extend so it is completely hidden when the lift is not in use.
Nominal Platform dimensions for this lift can vry due to site requirements. However, they are more than or equal to:
1405mm (l) x 1100mm (w) 0 − 999mm (h)

Edinburgh Access Lift
The Edinburgh Access Lift uses the bottom step as a wheelstop to prevent wheelchair wheels from rolling off the lift table. This step will rise 100mm above the platform.
The wheelstop mechanism requires a 1650mm pit depth. If this space is an issue the system can be replaced with an automatic toe guard that rises through the bottom step, but will be seen when the stairs are at rest.
The lift itself (the larger step) actually only requires a pit depth of 400mm for a rise of 0mm - 750mm. For a rise between 750mm - 999mm the pit depth would be 550mm.
The lift table and stairs can be made to accept any cladding material, the thicker the cladding the deeper the pit depth.
Nominal Platform dimensions for this lift and stairs can very due to site requirement, however they are more than or equal to:
1831mm (l) x 1010mm (w) x 0-999mm. The length dimension is made up of the large tread and two smaller treads.
The Edinburgh Access Lift can have one, two, three or even four standard size treads accompanying the larger lift tread.
