Stair Lift Platform
Platform lifts provide a versatile and space-efficient solution for accessibility, particularly in environments with limited space or uneven surfaces. With dimensions of at least 70 cm x 110 cm and non-slip flooring, these lifts are equipped with safety features such as protective bars, foldable ramps, and anti-crush mechanisms. Their flexible design, with hydraulic or mechanical systems, ensures smooth access for all users, while constant pressure controls offer ease of use.
