Ascendor Step Lift Collection
Elegant Accessibility for Changes in Level
Not every accessibility challenge requires a conventional lift.
Where steps, entrance thresholds or changes in floor level prevent independent access, an Ascendor Step Lift provides a discreet, practical and beautifully engineered solution that integrates seamlessly into the surrounding environment.
Designed and manufactured in Austria, the Ascendor Step Lift Collection combines premium engineering with contemporary design, allowing wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility to move safely and independently while preserving the appearance and functionality of the building.
At A1 Access Lifts, we work with architects, consultants, contractors, local authorities, schools, healthcare providers and building owners throughout the UK to specify, supply, install and maintain Ascendor Step Lifts that are tailored to the individual requirements of every project.
From initial consultation and site survey through to installation, commissioning and long-term maintenance, we're committed to delivering accessibility solutions that continue performing for many years to come.
What is a Step Lift?
The Smart Solution for Small Changes in Level
Many buildings are prevented from being fully accessible by just a few steps.
Installing a passenger lift or vertical platform lift is often unnecessary, while constructing permanent ramps may not be practical due to limited space, planning restrictions or the visual impact on the building.
A step lift provides the perfect alternative.
Designed to overcome small changes in level, step lifts provide safe, independent wheelchair access while occupying minimal space. Their compact design allows them to integrate naturally into entrances and internal environments, helping buildings become fully accessible without compromising their appearance.
Whether installed internally or externally, Ascendor Step Lifts provide an elegant solution that improves accessibility while preserving the character of the building.
