The Big Ben name refers to our electric stairs opposed to our traditional hydraulic stairs. The Big Ben Stairs do not need as much space behind the top step riser to retract into horizontally. Only 800mm is required for the stairs to retract into, regardless of the amount of stairs and we can reduce this further by special design.
