Platform Lifts

Aritco PublicLift Access

By Aritco · Official stockist

A Scandinavian-designed platform lift for public and commercial buildings — eight sizes up to 500 kg / 6 people, full wheelchair access, indoors or out.

Aritco PublicLift Access platform lift in a public building

Accessibility for public buildings, without compromise

The PublicLift Access is Aritco's platform lift for schools, shops, offices and public buildings — anywhere the Equality Act expects step-free access and the architecture deserves better than an afterthought. Scandinavian design, eight platform sizes and full wheelchair compliance make it the specifier's default choice.

As official Aritco stockists, we supply, install and maintain the PublicLift Access across the North East, and we can support your architect with BIM files (REVIT / IFC4) at design stage.

Why specifiers choose it

  • Eight sizes — from compact two-person platforms to 1000 × 1980 mm for six people, with Type A and Type B wheelchair compliance and adjacent-entry layouts.
  • Indoors or outdoors — a weather-resistant outdoor version with corrosion class C5 guides.
  • Minimal builder's work — a 50 mm recess or ramp, no machine room, no hydraulics and no oil to leak.
  • Public-environment safety — Aritco's SmartSafety system, lit handlebar, backlit control panel and battery emergency lowering.
  • Low running costs — the patented screw-and-nut drive keeps maintenance and energy use to a minimum.
  • Built to last — 5-year lift warranty, 10 years on the drive system.

Make it fit the building

Paint it almost any RAL colour, choose clear or tinted glass, and pick from eight hard-wearing floor finishes including anti-slip rubber and aluminium — the options are below. Looking for the same lift in a home setting? See the Aritco HomeLift Access.

Ideal for
