Frequently asked question

"What is the maximum travel height that is allowed for a platform lift?"

ANSWER

There is no travel height limitation as the manufacturer must take into account all safety factors that are relevant to the total travel. In practice, however, a platform lift will never travel to as many floors as an elevator as it moves at a very slow speed and would not be as well suited to large lifting heights.
