Delta Inclined Platform Lift

Wheelchair lift installs over straight staircases

The Delta inclined platform lift is suitable for home or commercial use, and provides wheelchair access over a single flight of straight stairs. The platform carries a wheelchair user, or optionally a seated passenger, with an access ramp and safety arms that raise and lower. The platform travels on two guide rails. When not in the use, the platform folds up to allow clearance on the stairs.

Why choose the Delta wheelchair lift

Accessibility with little construction needed

Minimal construction required

The Delta wheelchair lift does not require a machine room. The motor and drive system are located on the carriage saving space and adding to simplicity, with no major construction needed. The travel rails are installed onto the stairs with support posts, or onto the adjacent wall, depending on size of platform, angle of the stairs and site conditions. The planning guide outlines the general preparation that is needed.

Compact fold-up design

Outdoor option

Safety features

An obstruction sensor system on the platform stops the lift if it encounters any objects during travel, while the overspeed governor ensures that the lift does not exceed the designated speed on descent. Limit switches stop the lift at each landing and also provide additional back-up to stop the lift if either limit switches fail. The non-skid platform, side safety flaps and safety arms protect the rider. A manual lower device (handwheel) is included for emergency use.
