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.

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
platform

The platform remains level throughout the journey for maximum stability and comfort.

BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS

Designed to withstand the elements.

Since most inclined lifts are installed outdoors, they are built with durable, weather-resistant materials to handle:

Sun

Rain

Wind

Coastal
salt air

Temperature
fluctuations

A durable, safe and practical solution for greater independence and accessibility — anywhere there’s a slope.

Types of inclined lifts
