The invention of the forerunners to modern short rise lifts and wheelchair lifts can be traced back as far as the ancient civilisations of the Romans and the Egyptians, which helped to open up a whole new world for wheelchair users. A disability lift that is fitted in blocks of high rise flats, or short rise floor lifts that are fitted in two floor offices provides easy access for wheel chair users. If you have a relative who has requires a small platform lift for wheel chair access in their home there are several models available in the market place to choose from. If there is a short staircase in the workplace, short rise lifts can be fitted at the side to provide easy access. For buildings that are undergoing refurbishment, meaning that space is limited, there are an open platform lifts that will provide easy access. If the building is larger and there is a need for a dedicated disability lift, cabin platform lifts are available for access between 2m and 15m as well as traditional platform lifts that comes with an established enclosure. As with short rise lifts platform lifts can be fitted near a stairwell to provide one point of access within a building. One of the positives of disability lifts is the ease of access they grant, but for health and safety they must be enclosed. If a new build is being built then an architect will have to show on his plans the design with the inclusion of a short rise lift or an enclosed lift that complies with DDA requirements. A building that has limited space will be able to have a disability lift incorporated into the plans at the side of a proposed stairway At DDA lifts we offer solutions to both home and offices and can fit disabled lifts in the smallest of spaces.
