by Brianna Crandall — May 9, 2014—U.K.-based lift provider Stannah has launched the Stairiser SR slimline inclined platform lift, which fits in tight-squeeze public places, improving straight-stair access for wheelchair users, while keeping the stairway free for ambulant use.
The Stairiser SR inclined platform lift offers a compact profile when not in use, folding flush against its operating rail for the slimmest profile yet, says Stannah. The unit is supplied in an 800mm x 1000mm platform size as standard, or 800mm x 1250mm if Part M compliance is required. For added reassurance, battery back-up is also supplied as standard.
Together with the Stairiser CR wheelchair platform stairlift for curved stair access, Stannah’s inclined platform lifts can be installed where vertical passenger lifts cannot, helping public buildings offer an even bigger welcome to wheelchair users.
For internal or external use, both models are fully automatic and easy to use by the wheelchair user and/or a companion, carrying one person seated in a wheelchair or on the seat provided. When not in use, the lifts fold flat.
The Stairiser SR and CR wheelchair platform stairlifts are available with different mounting configurations for maximum flexibility in load requirement and building type, and also come in a wide range of platform sizes and finishes. All U.K. statutory guidance is met, including the Equality Act 2010.
