You may run a public building or a workplace in either case if possible you will probably have to make it accessible to the disabled if it isn’t already. New buildings of course are built with the disabled in mind but older buildings are difficult to adapt with narrow staircases, little space for lifts and often small flights of steps in random places.

Luckily lift manufacturers are regularly offering new solutions to help you offer access to anybody who should want it without it being a logistical nightmare for them and you.

Vertical platform lifts for a start can cover 2 or 3 floors without major change to a building, they can even be added to the outside of a building to save on space. Other solutions include through the floor lifts that take up little space and use a trapdoor mechanism to move between floors.

Simple step lifts to cover small amounts of stairs are among the most useful in older buildings they are easy to install and cheap to buy and run.

Platform lifts can be installed on stairs where there is no other space but will still fold away so others can use the stairs, wheelchair users can easily use a platform lift without getting out of a wheelchair that simply rolls on to and off of the platform.
