Disability Access Platforms

For disability access across split levels AreaLift’s DomoStep, EasyPlat and MiniPocket range provides the solution.

Scope of use

Platform lifts provide disability access between split levels up to one storey high.

A platform lift is a simplified elevator comprising of just a vertically moving floor without the walls and ceiling of an enclosed lift car.

Platform lifts operating between split levels usually do not require a lift shaft enclosure. Interlocked barriers or gates prevent people accidentally stepping into the platform area from above, while pressure sensing prevents a crush hazard beneath the platform. A fully or partially enclosed lift shaft, similar to a conventional elevator, is typically required for platforms that travel more than 1.5 metres. Platform lifts can be installed indoors or outside the building.
