Access via Platform Lift

 

Our Platform Chair Lift has now been INSTALLED by Savaria!

 

The Platform lift was installed in early July 2023, so we can now provide access to people who

• Are in a wheelchair
• Have trouble walking up or down stairs
• Are on a SMALL motorised scooter
• Have a Child in a Pram or Pusher

The Lift can carry up to 250 Kg, but space and safety issues really limit the capacity to 1 adult.

Control Panel - Explanation

It is important to Note:

• Lift will transport a person up or down by simply using the illuminated button on the hand-held remote.
   
• Wall panel is only needed to CALL lift to you or to fold/unfold lift against rail, so it should be switched off when you have finished with it!
   
• Opposite wall panel will not work if you leave your control panel switched on.
