Specifying DDA access lifts for sports and leisure facilities depends on several factors, such as the amount of space available and the layout of the building. To help point you in the right direction, the Platform Lift Company has picked the best wheelchair lift for the following types of installations.

(h2) Step lift access solutions for sport and leisure buildings.

A step lift can reach up to 2 meters, making it an ideal solution for overcoming steps inside and outside a building. They are easy to install and provide an alternative to building a ramp, which can be costly and take up space.

(h3) Hidden Platform Lift (up to 0.5m)

HDN is a straightforward yet effective lift solution that provides wheelchair access to overcome a slight difference in level (between 0-500mm), such as a step. The lift is integrated into the floor and remains flush with the existing flooring when not in use, making it an ideal choice for entrance areas.

(h3) Step Lift Bespoke (up to 2m)

Step Lift Bespoke is a customisable and tailored step lift designed to fit your building's unique layout and architectural design. This wheelchair lift can be incorporated into a flight of steps with a platform at either the upper or lower level. Upon activation, the stairs fold to create a flat surface. Alternatively, the Step Lift Bespoke can transform into a platform lift, eliminating the need for an upper or lower platform. The Step Lift Bespoke is a great space-saving solution.

(h2) Open platform lifts that are easy to install

Open platform lifts provide a practical solution for creating wheelchair access in sports and leisure environments with a high number of wheelchair users. They are easy to install, energy-efficient, and durable.

(H3) EasyLift (up to 1.25m)

EasyLift, made by the Danish manufacturer Liftup, is the Platform Lift Company's best-selling low-rise platform lift. This access solution has been designed by architects and features clean lines. EasyLift now comes with extra parts that enable the door hinge side to be reversed and the door's configuration to be changed on-site.

(H3) Open Platform Lift (up to 3 m)

The Platform Lift Company's Open Platform Lift travels up to 3 metres and is made to specification. This robust and durable platform lift is suitable for outdoor settings as well as indoor installations. Architects and specifiers like this solution as an alternative to installing an enclosed platform lift as it is cost-effective and space-saving.

(h2) Creating disabled access to more than one floor within a building

Vertical platform lifts come with their self-supporting shaft and can reach heights of up to 15 metres to access multiple floors. They are much more cost-effective than a passenger lift and eliminate significant building work.

(h3) Motala 2000

This vertical platform lift is in a class of its own due to its high-quality performance, low noise level, and the option to have it glazed on all four sides. Thanks to its patented guided chain drive system (lubricated for life), the Motala 2000 requires minimal maintenance. It has the biggest internal platform size yet the smallest external footprint.

(h2) Whatever your access requirements, they have a solution to fit.
