Features

• The lift

  The Thames Retracting Stair Lift uses our low-profile wheel stop technology. A solid stainless steel toe guard rises around the platform lift to prevent wheelchair wheels from rolling off the access lift. Please see on lift barriers for more information.

  The lift table can be made to accept any cladding material. Note the thickness of the cladding affects the pit depth required.

  Nominal platform dimensions for this lift can vary due to site requirements, however, they have minimum dimensions of:

  1619 mm (l) x 1212 mm (w) x 0-750 mm (h)

  If the height is between 750-999:

  2172 mm (l) x 1212 mm (w) x 751-999 mm (h)

  Please click on the lifting actuator link for more information on the mechanism used to raise and lower the stairlift.

• The upper landing barrier

  The Thames Retracting Stair Lift in this example does not have an upper landing barrier as the rise is less than 500 mm.

  Please see the upper landing barriers link for more information.

• User type

  The Thames Retracting Stair Lift is for wheelchair users only. Non-wheelchair users are often presented with a wheelchair to use when travelling on this lift. Please see on lift barriers for more information.

• System requirements

  The Thames Retracting Stair Lift comes with collapsible bellows acting as the skirt below the lift. Please see concealing the underside of the lift for more information.

  If the surrounding area presents a crush zone the lift table can be fitted with safety edges to detect an obstruction. Please see the crush hazards surrounding the moving lift for more information.

  For details on the power supply please see the lift power supply.

  For general details on the pit depth please see the lift pit.

  Please see the Sesame stair lift controls for more information on the controls for this style of lift.

• Variations to the Thames Retracting Stair Lift

  If an upper landing gate is required the Cambridge Part M Lift can be used, this system also shows an alternative for standing users but the pit depth is significantly deeper.

  The removable hand-held post can be replaced with a permanent button post allowing for independent use of the lift as seen here: Regent Wheelchair Stairlift in London. This system also shows our standard design wheelstop which requires a deeper pit depth.

  If there is space at the upper landing and the rise is over 500mm then our rising barrier can be used as shown here: Mayfair Stairlift in Manchester.
