Straight Run
For a single flight of stairs (with no landings) the straight run stairiser
is the perfect low cost solution. This inclined lift follows the exact
degree of the staircase to ensure the distance from the floor/staircase
is constant. Our team of surveyors are on hand to measure your
staircase and design a stairiser to suit.
With fold away platform and arms this unit is designed to take up as
little staircase width as possible, at the same time blend in with the
background. Being a simple design and limited parts keep the lifetime
cost of the lift to a minimum; rarely do these robust lifts breakdown
even with intermittent use.
Designed for internal and external use the lift is available in several
platform sizes, 1250x800 is the Part M compliant however this
can often be too large for a standard staircase (building control
dispensation is usually given in this case).
Curved Run
For multiple staircases or simply for an upper landing or 90 degree
turn a curved stairiser must be used. There is no limit to how far
the travel distance can be, in fact we have designed and installed
one lift for a 10 flight staircase all at 180 degree turns to each other.
Our surveyors are on hand to do a free evaluation on whether your
staircase is suitable for an inclined stairiser.
Wall or stanchion mounted we can find a solution for you. We can
negotiate stair winders, limited headroom and turns that are not 90 or
180 degrees. The unit can be ordered in any RAL colour and the rail
in various standard colours (on request).
For a quotation please contact our sales team on 01256 896000 and
we will be happy to discuss the options in more detail. Feel free to
download typical drawings to view the available sizes, (CAD files on
request).
Suitable for internal and external applications
Remote call stations (no conduit requirements)
Meets Part M requirements
Straight - for a single flight
of stairs the straight stairiser
provides a cost effective and
quick installation solution. The
stairiser can be stanchion or
wall mounted to suit any type
of staircase, various platform
sizes are also available if there
is not enough room for the 1250
x 800 (Part M requirement).
Curved - for landings, 90
degree and 180 degree turns
a bespoke curved stairiser
is the lift to meet your DDA
requirements. Complicated
routes can be negotiated
including stair winders, storage
areas and reduced headroom,
our surveying team can
measure, design and plot a lift
to suit.
