FAQs
Platform lifts, also known as wheelchair lifts, are a type of lift designed to transport people with mobility challenges, including wheelchair users, between different levels of a building. A platform lift company like S&D Lifts supplies and installs wheelchair lifts for public buildings, commercial settings, and domestic environments.
The average cost of a platform lift in the UK is around £10,000-£20,000. However, larger or more complex platform lifts with higher load capacities additional features, or special customization, may cost upwards of this. The best way to get an accurate price estimate for your platform lift installation is to contact our team, who can provide a quote based on your own situation, including the type of lift you need, its size, capacity, features, and any customization.
A wheelchair lift works by using a sturdy platform that moves vertically along guide rails installed within the lift structure. Wheelchair lifts are typically powered by an electric motor or hydraulic system, and can be controlled using user-friendly controls.
Generally, platform lifts require regular servicing – at least on an annual basis – to ensure they continue to operate safely and efficiently. Maintenance typically includes tasks such as lubricating moving parts, inspecting electrical components, testing safety features, and checking for any signs of wear or damage.
