Through Floor Lift

A through floor lift is a lift designed for wheelchair users to travel between floors in their own home. A stair lift is not always practical in cramped conditions, and often the only method is to install a lift the can travel through the floor above. Safety is of huge importance with the installation and operation of a through floor lift, as is attempting to make the device as unobtrusive as possible. It can be relatively simple and inexpensive to install a through floor lift to open up possibilities for wheelchair users, and aid them in travelling freely within their own home.

A through floor lift is typically a platform lift on to which a wheelchair can be placed, and then raised through the floor above. It is usually gated to ensure the safety of the user, and can be remotely controlled. The materials used to construct the through floor lift must be of the highest quality to support the weight that it must carry on a regular basis.

The wheelchair lift can be fully customised to cause as little obstruction as possible. An initial survey must be made to measure the dimensions of the height and size of the room, to create a through floor lift unique to it’s venue. Aspects such as colour can also be varied at the user’s request. The installation of a through floor lift can be a simple and stress-free process, causing as little inconvenience to the user as possible.
