Having a through floor lift installed is a lot less complicated than you might think.
After an initial survey, Euro Lifts team of engineers will carry out all necessary preparatory work and then install the lift in less than two days with very little disturbance to your household.
Operating the lift is relatively simple. Having called the lift from the easily accessible wall control switch, the car door can be opened by pressing a second switch. The integral ramp allows easy wheelchair access and a pushbutton inside the car closes the door. A push of the appropriate direction button will signal the car to travel to the other floor, automatically lifting or replacing the aperture ceiling panel en route, where the reverse procedure is followed to exit the car.

Flexibility of Installation Locations
Free-standing design does not require load bearing wall. Door opening
