No – you can choose to exit at the back (known as open through) or even at the side (open adjacent).
The maximum legal speed of a vertical platform lift is 0.15 meters per second.
No – although we prefer a small pit (between 60mm and 120 mm deep), we can easily fit a small ramp if this is not possible when fitting your home lift.
We can either work with your chosen builder or we can carry out all the work ourselves. Our complete turn key solution keeps project timing to a minimum and our dedicated Project Manager will keep you informed at every stage of the process.
The lead time from order through to installation of a vertical platform lift is usually around 6-11 weeks depending on the type of lift you choose. The fitting process usually takes between 2 and 5 days, depending on the complexity of the project.
The only platform lift that runs off three phase power supply is the APL2 model.
You won’t – all of our vertical platform lifts come with battery-powered emergency lowering, which will slowly lower the cabin to the ground floor in the event of a power outage. In addition, all our lifts are fitted with an auto-dialler or telephone.
Alliance Platform Lifts are dedicated to providing our customers with high quality, exceptional and reliable platform lifts, cabin lifts and goods lifts, with cost-effective support for life.
