As with many things in life, platform lifts come in a variety of guises.

You need to consider the type of platform lift that best suits your requirements, i.e. should you opt for an enclosed or unenclosed lift? A screw drive or hydraulic drive system? Do you require automatic gates so that they can be used independently?

Once you have selected your perfect platform lift don’t forget to discuss the ongoing service and maintenance costs, else you could be in for an unwanted surprise.
