Usually, they are used to transport wheelchair users between one floor to the next in a building. Here are some common platform lift design features that you should know:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Non-slip platform surface<\/li>\r\n<li>Safety interlocks on doors\/gates<\/li>\r\n<li>Emergency stop and lowering system<\/li>\r\n<li>Battery backup (for power outages)<\/li>\r\n<li>Keyed operation or access controls<\/li>\r\n<li>Weight and height limit indicators<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>However, it is important to note that platform lifts are primarily used as accessibility options for wheelchair users, and are not comparable to a commercial elevator that moves faster, travels further, and carries more load. Platform lifts are usually more compact, and are commonly installed without a full cabin or shaft to enclose the lift. Typically, you can find platform lifts in homes, residential buildings, schools, hospitals, public transportation hubs like train stations, theatres, churches, and other commercial buildings.<\/p>\r\n\t<h3>Are Platform Lifts Required in my Building?<\/h3>\r\n\t<p>In the UK, legislation such as the Equality Act of 2010 have promoted more inclusive building design and construction. Following this, the Approved Document Part M building regulations were issued to set standards with an emphasis on the safety and comfort of accessibility of new dwellings and non-dwellings. These regulations explicitly require all new buildings to provide <b>accessible routes<\/b> to all areas and spaces that the public or building occupants will need.<\/p>\r\n<p>Accessible routes are intended to allow those with wheelchairs or limited mobility to traverse the building safely and comfortably. Typically, these routes can be any of the following:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Ramps<\/li>\r\n<li>Passenger Lifts\/Elevators<\/li>\r\n<li>Platform Lifts<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Usually, platform lifts are used where design and space constraints make installing a ramp or a full passenger lift unreasonable. Common examples of a platform lift are Vertical Platform Lifts (VPL), Inclined Platform Lifts (IPL), portable platform lifts, and enclosed platform lifts. You will want to review your particular situation to determine which platform lift is right for you, if at all, or if ramps or passenger lifts are more apt. In any case, it is required that any new building must provide reasonable access routes.<\/p>\r\n\t<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\r\n\t<section>\r\n  <details>\r\n    <summary>Why should I use this Part M Platform List Checklist template?<\/summary>\r\n    <p>This Part M Platform List Checklist comes with everything you need to ensure platform lift compliance with Approved Document Part M UK building regulations.
