Platform and disabled lifts FAQ
Answers for platform lift maintenance, repairs, and compliance.
Do platform lifts need a LOLER inspection?
Yes. Platform lifts used to carry people, including wheelchair platform lifts, fall under LOLER and require thorough examination, usually every 6 months subject to risk assessment.
Can you maintain platform lifts from any manufacturer?
Yes. We service and repair platform lifts, step lifts, and through-floor lifts from a wide range of manufacturers, including Aritco and other access lift brands.
What is the difference between a platform lift and a passenger lift?
Platform lifts move a person, often a wheelchair user, over a short vertical or inclined distance at lower speed. They are common where a full passenger lift is not practical, such as a few steps at an entrance or between two floors.
Do you cover emergency call outs for platform lifts?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency call outs across London, Kent and the South East for breakdowns and access lifts that have stopped working.
Can you take over a platform lift from another provider?
Yes. We review the lift type, site access, and compliance history before confirming a handover plan and maintenance schedule.
