What is a platform lift?
A platform lift is a moving platform that does not travel at any speed above 0.15m/s. Platform lifts are regulated under the Machinery Directive and not the Lift Directive. They usually have no cabin walls and operate from a constant pressure button on the platform console. Designed primarily for disability access but can be used in a number of wide ranging applications. An example would be our MC2000 platform lift
What is a passenger lift?
A passenger lift is a term used to define that the Lift Regulations apply. It will mean that the lift car is fully enclosed and travels at a higher speed than that of a platform lift (usually 0.6m/s). There are stringent rules regarding pit requirements and headroom height. An example would be our M6000 passenger lift.
