Vimec V6 & V6s Platform Stairlifts

“Just a brief note to commend your two engineers Charlie and Martin who have installed my lift.

Platform Stairlift FAQs
-
Where can a Vimec V6 or V6s Platform Stairlift be installed?
The Vimec V6 and V6s are ideal for a wide range of settings where stairs restrict access:
- Schools: Ensure students, staff, and visitors can move safely between levels in compliance with accessibility regulations.
- Retail & Leisure: The V6 and V6s are discreet solutions for providing access in busy public environments without disrupting layout or flow.
- Church & Community Buildings: Our stairlifts are suitable for heritage buildings, community centres, and shared spaces where minimal building work is a must.
- Tourist & Hotel Environments: We provide easy-to-use access for wheelchair users without compromising on aesthetics.
- Nursing Homes: Our models offer a practical solution for transporting residents or visitors in wheelchairs across split-level floors.
-
Can the V6 or V6s be used outdoors?
Yes. Both models are IP44 rated for outdoor use, with the V6s tested to withstand temperatures from +50°C to -20°C.
-
What’s the maximum weight capacity?
The standard capacity is 300 kg. The V6s can carry up to 250 kg on steeper gradients (beyond 45°), while the V6 is rated to 225 kg beyond 40°.

Is there a power backup?
Both lifts operate on 24V DC batteries and include a built-in rescue mode that safely lowers the platform in the event of a power cut.
