What is an
Inclined Lift?

An inclined lift, also called an inclined platform lift or slope lift, is a safe and reliable way to move people, wheelchairs, and goods along a slope or staircase.

HOW IT WORKS

Following the slope,
not the shaft.

Unlike a standard elevator, which moves straight up through a vertical shaft, an inclined lift follows the existing gradient of the land. This means it can be installed with minimal structural excavation.

The platform stays level throughout the journey, keeping passengers, wheelchair users, or loaded trolleys stable, even on steep slopes.

Powered by one of two mechanisms:
Geared rack-and-pinion system
Cable-and-winch mechanism

A drive unit at either the top or bottom of the track moves the platform.

KEY FEATURES
Fixed track
on the slope

The rail is securely mounted directly to the incline, staircase, or hillside.

Drive unit
(top or bottom)

A powerful, reliable drive system moves the platform smoothly and safely.

Level-riding

BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS

Designed to withstand the elements.

Sun
Rain
Wind
Coastal
salt air
Temperature
fluctuations
A durable, safe and practical solution for greater independence and accessibility — anywhere there’s a slope.
