Stairlifts

Within a home setting, getting up and down a stair case if you have mobility issues, stairlifts are used to solve the problem. However in an industrial setting, platforms or platform lifts are used. Same principle as stairlifts, different terminology. Let’s take a brief looks at some stairlifts that aren’t quite stairlifts!!

Enclosed Platform Lift

An Enclosed Platform Lift can be a really great solution to the constraints of space which is required for a conventional lift.
