Factors to Consider When Choosing a Platform Lift
With dozens of platform lifts on the market, choosing the right option may feel quite daunting. Here are a number of important factors to consider during your decision-making process.
1. Lift type
There are various platform lifts available today, with hydraulic and traction lifts dominating the market. For this reason, you need to carefully consider your mobility needs, space requirements and aesthetic preferences to find the lift that will best suit your home.
2. Lift size
Measure the available space within your property to determine the ideal lift size. The lift must be able to accommodate the number of passengers and/or mobility devices you wish to transport.
3. Safety and security
As user safety and security is non-negotiable, you should only consider platform lifts that come with essential safety features, such as emergency stop buttons, and start and stop functions. Moreover, you need to ensure they comply with UK and European safety standards.
4. Installation and maintenance
Please note, installing and maintaining a platform lift is sometimes a complex process. For this reason, you should enquire about the ease of installation and maintenance before making a final decision. In addition, remember to ask whether the lift will require regular inspections and servicing.
5. Cost
The cost of installing a platform lift will depend on its features and functionalities as well as any customisations you wish to add. At SWIFT Lifts, our team will be ready to offer expert advice to help you find a platform lift that suits your budget and functional requirements.
