Step Lifts For Wheelchair Users

For visitors to your premises who have mobility problems, even a few steps can be a major obstacle. Businesses and public buildings need a cost effective, reliable option for helping wheelchair users and others with impaired mobility access premises and different levels while maintaining their dignity and independence.

Step lifts (also known as low rise platform lift, wheel chair lift or open platform lift) are low-rise lifting platforms which provide convenient internal and external lift travel up to 3 metres. As such they are designed to provide the most effective alternative way to flights of stairs to navigate up and down floors, whether inside or outside. Unlike stairlifts, step lifts are the best lifting solution to short or single flights of stairs as they allow users to stay in their wheelchair.

Our Exclusive Range Of Access Lifts

We have two types of step lifts available at RJ Lifts. Regardless of your property’s structure, we believe that our step lifts are the most functional, reliable and effective form of accessibility for those requiring step lifts that also have a versatile design.

Incline Platform Lift

Our incline platform lift is ideal for spaces that cannot accommodate vertical lifts. It can be installed within internal or external spaces that have staircases, even when there are landings in between sets of steps.
