CareHomeDeskCareHomeDeskVertical wheelchair platform lift for step-free access between floors or level changes over a short travel distance, an alternative to a full passenger lift where the building layout or budget does not support a full lift shaft installation.
Not every care home level change justifies a full passenger lift -- a single-storey change, an annexe building, or a short rise between a communal area and an entrance is often better served by a compact platform lift, which needs less structural building work and a smaller footprint than a passenger lift shaft. This is a genuinely different specification decision from a passenger lift, not a smaller version of the same thing, and the two jobs in the scope-builder (install/replace platform lift versus replace passenger lift) reflect that distinction.
Vertical travel platform lift, wheelchair accessible platform, suitable for short-rise level changes where a full passenger lift shaft is not justified, part of the Stannah commercial platform lift range alongside inclined and stairlift-integrated platform options.
