The Platform Lift Company has been appointed as a UK and Ireland distributor for Extrema, an Italian company specialising in the design of access solutions to overcome architectural barriers.
The new partnership increases the Platform Lift Company’s range of access products with the introduction of a new, luxury, vertical cabin style platform lift and two new stair risers.
With these products onboard, The Platform Lift Company now represents three major designers of access solutions from Italy, Sweden and Denmark.
The new Italian Style Platform Lift has been designed in collaboration with Italian architects. It is designed to show “luxury Italian style”.
With a maximum travel of nearly 20 metres, the Italian Style Platform Lift can reach up to six floors and can be installed either inside or outside a building.
Its compact yet comfortable design provides a space saving solution within the home, especially if there is a narrow stairwell.
A wide range of materials is available, including Italian precious wood, natural stone floor inlays, leather coatings and stainless-steel push buttons.
The two new stair raisers have been designed specifically for two different types of staircases. For curved staircases, the Platform Lift Company now has what it claims to be one of the most compact on the market and is suitable for installation tight spaces.
The product doesn’t have a traction unit on-board therefore saving valuable space. The other new product is suitable for straight staircases and also comes with a range of design and safety features.
