How does an inclined platform lift work?
The lift is powered by a special cable drive system, with its motor installed at the upper end of the rail guide outside the staircase. This saves a lot of space, as the staircase remains largely clear and can be used freely by pedestrians. Operating through an external drive and a carriage unit pulled by a cable, similar to a cable car, allows for the realization of very long curved lift systems. And with direct connection to the power grid, the Artira is independent of battery power when in use.
The Artira platform lift is specifically designed for indoor and outdoor use and is also available with a rain cover and folding seat. Operation is very simple and is done by means of push buttons on the control unit on a spiral cable during the ride. From the call stations, the lift can also be summoned and sent away using push buttons, as well as opening or closing the platform.
What are the advantages of a platform lift?
A platform lift offers numerous advantages that make living more comfortable, safer, and more accessible. Here are the key benefits:

- Increased safety: Provides a low-risk alternative to climbing stairs, ideal for elderly or physically restricted individuals.
User-friendly operation and comfort: Simple operation that promotes user independence. - Space-saving solution: Requires less space than traditional elevators and can be easily integrated into existing structures.
Flexible adaptation: Suitable for indoor and outdoor areas and adaptable to individual needs. - Cost-effective: More affordable to purchase and operate compared to traditional elevators.
Energy efficiency: Modern models are often energy-efficient, resulting in lower operating costs and environmentally friendly usage. - Compliance with regulations: Meets important accessibility standards in public buildings, which is required in many countries, including Switzerland.
- Diverse design options: Available in various colors that harmoniously blend into the building architecture.
Platform lift indoors
Indoors, platform lifts are used to make public buildings or multi-family houses more comfortable, especially those without an elevator. Of course, you can also equip your single-family home with these lifts to move comfortably from floor to floor.
Platform lift outdoors
Outdoors, platform lifts are used, for example, to provide access to houses on slopes and terraced settlements, but also to generally facilitate access to the building. Naturally, platform lifts for outdoor use are weather-resistant and robust. All platform lifts are easy to operate - simply by pressing a button.
Versatility in Design
Our platform lifts can be designed for curved and straight stairs with or without intermediate landings. They are suitable for multi-story buildings or long distances outdoors, with a variety of design configurations.
Our lifts comply with the SIA 500 standard
The SIA 500 standard for barrier-free buildings defines how the postulate of equality is to be fulfilled in the field of building construction. The aim of this standard is to ensure independent access in the built environment for all people, especially those with mobility or sensory impairments, as well as for people carrying luggage, strollers, or bulky objects. The requirements for barrier-free access vary depending on the type and use of the building. Therefore, there is a division into three categories: publicly accessible buildings, buildings with apartments, and buildings with workplaces.
You can find more information about the SIA 500 standard here.

A platform stairlift is, as the name suggests, equipped with a platform. This platform can, if necessary, be used with a wheelchair, or the platform can be equipped with a folding seat so that the platform stairlift can also be used as a seated stairlift. A seated stairlift only has a seating option. A seated stairlift is often used for seniors who have difficulty climbing stairs. Discover seated stairlifts at our subsidiary here.
Platform lifts are equipped with flat access ramps on both sides, which allow for easy entry and exit with a wheelchair. Seated lifts can be rotated at the landing without the footrest rotating, ensuring safe and easy boarding and disembarking.
