Dependable step-free access for straight staircases
The Vimec V6 does one job extremely well: carrying a wheelchair and passenger up to 300 kg along a straight flight of stairs, reliably, year after year. It's the simpler sibling of the V6S — where the staircase is a single straight run, the V6 delivers the same access with less complexity and cost.
We supply, install and maintain the V6 across the North East for homes, communal buildings and public spaces.
Why it works
- Straightforward and durable — a straight guide rail, robust build, and more than 40 years of Vimec engineering behind it.
- Safe for user and helper — active and passive protection devices, with a dedicated assistant control panel and radio remotes.
- Indoors or outdoors — suitable for external steps as well as internal staircases.
- No building work — installs on the staircase without architectural alterations, usually in a day.
- Stays out of the way — the platform and retractable safety bars fold to keep the stairs clear for other users.
Ideal for
Straight-staircase homes, entrance steps to shops and public buildings, and communal access in flats — anywhere a ramp would be too long and a vertical lift too much.
