About invisible/hidden platform lifts
While platform lifts routinely play an extremely important role across a range of buildings by enabling easy, quick, and convenient movement around a given site, building owners do not always wish for such lifts to be highly visible.
This might be especially likely to be the case for heritage and listed buildings, where there is frequently a desire for platform lifts to be discreet in their design, being sympathetic to the wider structure and character of the building.
In the retail and hospitality sectors, too, invisible platform lifts are often popular, including because of their potentially space-saving designs. A hidden platform lift can be created, for example, where there isn’t a need for landing gates, thereby minimising the impact on the surrounding space.

Frequently asked questions
A hidden platform lift is essentially what it sounds like; a type of platform lift that is hidden in some way in the wider structure of the premises in which it is located.
Typically, a hidden platform lift – also sometimes referred to as an “invisible platform lift” – is built into the floor to allow for the mechanism to be completely concealed. Such a lift may have a platform that remains flush with the existing floor, even when it is not in active use.
As a building owner, you may choose an invisible platform lift for any of a wide range of reasons. You might be seeking out a lift solution that would look elegant and be visually sympathetic to the broader setting in which it is fitted, at the same time as helping to bolster accessibility at your site, including for disabled users of the premises.
Properties that are used for hospitality and retail purposes often benefit from the installation of a hidden platform lift or several. The same can be said for historical and listed buildings, where it is frequently an especially urgent priority for a platform lift to blend in with its surroundings.
Alliance Platform Lifts are dedicated to providing our customers with high quality, exceptional and luxury residential lifts, commercial glass lifts and bespoke cabin lifts, with cost-effective support for life.
