An Inclined Platform Lift

What is an Inclined Platform Lift?

Inclined platform lifts, like a flying carpet, take a wheelchair user over an existing stair on a level platform —a little like a flying carpet. When the inclined lift is not in use, the platform folds up, leaving the stairs open and accessible.

Inclined platform lifts can be used both indoors and outdoors, as well as in-home and commercial situations. Inclined platform lifts, like stairlifts, can be used on both straight and curved staircases.

How does an Inclined Platform Lift work?

A simple design comprising a rail and a fold-out surface distinguishes an inclined platform lift. These versions are suitable for floor-to-floor use, such as entering a building from the exterior and traveling along the ground to a second story, whether straight or curved.

Many people are curious about how an inclined lift works:

Using a Motor

The motor that propels the platform down a track is at the heart of the operation. In most cases, systems are battery-powered in some way, charging continuously to provide a backup plan in the event of a power loss.

Furthermore, because the motor-powered design eliminates the requirement for a machine room, installation is simple and quick.

With the use of a rail and platform

The foundation for an inclined platform lift comprises two major components after you get to know the motor. One is a compact platform that folds down for use and up once the user arrives at his or her destination.

Platforms include a textured surface for enhanced friction and a little ramp for stepping on and off to keep the user safe.

A steel or aluminum rail transports the user to this location. To move the platform from one floor to another, most use a rack-and-pinion drive system. When the lift reaches the next floor, an automated brake ensures that it comes to a complete stop.

Because of this configuration, installing the lift in your home or business requires minimum structural alterations, and the lift can typically be installed as-is.

There are two types of inclined platform lifts available from HONTY: a conventional straight model and a custom curved model. If you are interested in these two kinds of lifts now and get in touch with us if you have any questions or would like a quote.

The Advantages of an Inclined Platform Lift

The Inclined Platform Lift differs from the vertical platform lift in its operation. In contrast to the vertical lift, which travels up and down on a flat, vertical surface, inclined platform lifts are attached to a set of stairs and climb up the staircase. They must be connected to a stairway that is broad enough to accommodate them and has enough room for non-lift users.

Inclined Platform Lifts are preferable to elevators in structures that cannot handle a vertical lift since they are less expensive and take up less space. The wheelchair is locked in place by a ramp plate on the platform. To go up or down, the user presses a button to go up or down and the lift guides her smoothly along the staircase.

Here are some of the key benefits of the Inclined Platform Lift:

Provides a wheelchair user with independent and safe access to any building.

It is simple to operate and may be done by a wheelchair user.

When not in use, the lift platform and barrier fold neatly against the smooth running track.

It can be used on both curved and straight staircases.

Barrier arms and higher ramps protect the stairlift user and lockdown before the platform moves, making it completely secure for them.
