Platform Lifts
Platform lifts comprise a platform, which travels a few meters in order to accommodate small level changes in a building, as stated in the elevator traffic handbook. This permits persons with disabilities, who are ambulant or in wheelchairs to move between these levels. These platform lifts are to be used under supervision and do not contribute to the general vertical transportation facilities.
Where a platform lift, which is part of a group, is designated for disabled use it may have slower door times, longer dwell times, etc., when used by a disabled person. The Sesame System is restricted by British Standards to a movement speed of 0.15 meters per second.
Platform lifts for the disabled may be regular lifts, which have been set aside for the use of persons with disabilities and which may not be available to able-bodied persons, ie: they may be card, key or code entry controlled. The Sesame platform lift offers a standard controls system, however, as in many Sesame installations, the client can specify the controls, for example, swipe cards, key access even voice recognition technology.
