Multilift Vertical Platform Lift
The Savaria Multilift is an unenclosed vertical wheelchair lift designed to provide safe, reliable access between two levels in residential or commercial buildings.
It is a compact, space-efficient alternative to a traditional lift, offering smooth vertical travel without the need for a lift shaft or machine room.
At Express Stairlifts SW, we supply, install, maintain, and support vertical platform lifts as part of our expanding accessibility range.
Where the Multilift is Used
The Multilift is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Private homes
