Open Platform Lift
Open platform lifts are designed to move between two levels only.
Typical installation of this lift type will be alongside an existing, short internal staircase or external steps, to allow access to the building with a wheelchair, or by people who have difficulty using steps.
Many existing buildings have been constructed in such a way that it is either impractical or not cost effective to install a conventional lift.
Suitable protection in the form of sides, doors or guard rails are present and space can be allowed for a carer to accompany the user.
Planners are invited to consult with an EPSA member for full information and to ensure compliance with local regulations.
