Artira Inclined Platform Lift

The Artira is an inclined platform lift designed to provide safe, reliable wheelchair access on straight and curved staircases, including those with landings, turns, or multiple levels.

Each system is custom-measured and built to follow the exact line of the staircase, making it suitable for narrow, steep, or complex stair layouts where other access solutions may not be practical.

Express Stairlifts SW supply, install, maintain, and support Artira platform lifts as part of our commercial and residential access solutions.

Where the Artira is Used

The Artira is suitable for a wide range of environments, including:

Residential properties
Commercial buildings
Public access buildings
Schools and educational facilities
Churches and community buildings
Restaurants, hotels, and leisure venues
Heritage and listed buildings

It is particularly effective where space is limited or where a vertical lift installation is not suitable.

How It Works

The lift runs along a fixed guide rail system fitted to the staircase or adjacent structure. A powered drive system moves the platform smoothly between landings.

When not in use, the platform, ramps, and safety arms fold neatly away to keep the staircase clear for other users.
