Effortless Accessibility with Minimal Impact
The APL5 is an open platform lift that requires no lift shaft and no pit, making it an excellent choice for retrofitting into existing buildings or integrating into new developments. Its space-saving design allows installation in entrances, communal areas, terraces, or between internal levels with minimal disruption. This makes the APL5 a popular solution for a number of applications including schools, offices, retail spaces, and private homes.
Robust Performance and Everyday Reliability
Built with high-quality, weather-resistant materials and an IP54 protection class, the UnaPorte APL5 is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and delivers reliable performance in all conditions. The lift supports a load capacity of up to 385kg, travels at a comfortable speed, and operates using a durable guide chain drive system for smooth, stable movement. A patented door locking mechanism enhances user safety while intuitive push buttons and optional automatic door controls make operation simple for all ages and abilities. Safety features include platform sensors, emergency stop, emergency lowering, and a secure door locking system, providing confidence for users and building operators alike.
Customisation and Design Options
The APL5 can be personalised to match your site requirements and style preferences including bespoke RAL colours to blend with your architecture, optional design features such as LED lighting and additional remote or on-board controls help create a lift that not only performs exceptionally but also enhances the visual appeal of your space.
User-Friendly Technology and Safety Features
Safety, comfort, and usability are at the heart of the APL5. The lift features a full graphic colour display with real-time status and error information, helping to reduce unnecessary maintenance calls. An integrated emergency lowering system, emergency call button, and optional voice output further boost peace of mind.
