Inclined platform lift

For indoor & outdoor use – straight or curved stairs

Individually customized inclined platform lifts can be easily retrofitted – whether for indoor or outdoor use, straight or curved stairs. They ensure that any property becomes barrier-free – even in challenging hillside locations.

The inclined platform lift: Perfect for any staircase shape

Our inclined platform lift is ideal for both straight and curved stairs. The models can be installed flexibly, and thanks to their automatically folding platform, they require minimal space. These space-saving inclined platform lifts blend seamlessly into any environment and are suitable for both private homes and public buildings. Our specially designed platform lift for curved stairs is one of the narrowest on the market, making it particularly well-suited for tight staircases.

How an inclined platform lift works

An inclined platform lift operates with a specialized cable drive system, with its motor positioned at the upper end of the rails, outside the staircase area. This design significantly saves space, keeping the stairs largely free for pedestrians. Similar to a cable car, the lift’s travel unit is moved by a cable, enabling the installation of lifts on long and curved routes. Additionally, the direct power connection of the Pegasus Nova II ensures continuous operation without reliance on batteries.
