A step lift (which is occasionally confused with a stair lift) is an excellent disabled access solution for low travel issues. They provide exceptional access for wheelchair users.
Step lifts are mainly used for short travel. They are often used for buildings that have elevated entryways that would normally need steps to enter. They are made using more robust materials. In a building where the travel is 1m or less, this type of lift is great.
Step Lift VS Stair Lift
One of the main differences between these lifts is how they are used. Step lifts are designed mainly for wheelchair users. Stair lifts, on the other hand, are designed for those who use mobility aids such as frames or walking sticks.
One feature of a step lift is that it has a platform to lift a wheelchair user, all while they’re still seated. Stair lifts however, have a seat and allows you to traverse floors via a track that rides up the stairs.
The Benefits
Step lift are by far, the best and most efficient lift solution for short or single flights of stairs. They allow disabled users to be lifted while staying in their wheelchairs.
These lifts are quick to install, and we can often install them in only one day. They run on single phase power, meaning no building work is required. They are an excellent solution for new and existing buildings were disabled access is required.
