Companion Platform Lift For all Seasons

Catering for the needs of the less able in the design of our sports stadia, undoubtedly, throws up a number of barriers to wheelchair access. Many of these could be overcome by the use of a wheelchair lift. As such, we are taking the opportunity to highlight the versatility of our Companion platform lifts.

Within our range, we can accommodate travel heights from a few centimetres up to three storeys. Whilst the majority of platform lifts are installed inside buildings, three of our units, Prima, Supreme and Excel are equally suitable for outdoor usage.

Small and compact, the Prima is designed for use where a small change in level, equivalent to two to three steps, inhibits wheelchair users. It has a mechanically and electrically interlocked upper landing gate and an automatic hinged platform ramp for lower level access. Installation is simple and the lift is battery powered, so limited use is possible in the event of power failure.

Both Supreme and Excel are suitable for travel between levels, with a maximum height of two metres. Like the Prima, the Supreme can be easily retrofitted as neither requires a pit nor any additional support. The Supreme is completely enclosed within its integral shaft. Relevant sections are glazed in clear safety glass.

The Excel offers total flexibility. Raised and lowered by a scissor mechanism, accommodated in a shallow pit, there is no lifting machinery above the platform. This means that gates and handrails can be custom designed to suit the surroundings. Furthermore, the platform can be supplied in any size and with a choice of entry/exit configurations.

Each model carries the CE mark and fully complies with Part M of the UK building regulations. In public spaces, it may be desirable to control access to and use of the lift. We have developed a “designated user control” facility, which can be fitted to all models. This ensures that the lift cannot be operated without the presence of a designated key holder, such as a steward or attendant.
