What is a platform lift?
A platform lift is a mobility solution that offers elderly and disabled individuals the comfort and convenience of an elevator combined with the ease and safety of independent use. Unlike stairlifts that need often require assistance to operate, platform lifts allow for greater freedom because the controls are accessible from within the lift itself.
A versatile solution.
Versatility is one of the features that makes platform lifts such an appealing option. Able to be used both indoors and outdoors, they can also be specifically designed for a home or care environment.
They can also be one of the most cost efficient and convenient ways to ensure that residents have a safe and comfortable way of moving between levels. Far more accessible than a standard elevator, they offer the same degree of convenience and security for people with limited mobility and wheelchair users.
Options for a range of circumstances.
The simplicity and versatility of platform lifts, combined with their cost effectiveness and lower price point, has seen more and more companies across Australia invest in platform lifts for their accessibility solutions. Organisations like schools, office based businesses and aged care facilities are able to benefit from the independence and freedom of movement they allow staff, students and residents.
In a residential environment, a platform lift can also give people with mobility issues the solutions they need to enjoy a full range of freedom within their home. It also provides their carers and loved ones with the invaluable peace of mind that comes from knowing that they’re able to live more independently in a safe and secure fashion.
