Benefits of Enclosed Platform Lifts
Fully Enclosed for Safety & Comfort
Enclosed platform lifts create a protected space around the user, ensuring safe and comfortable travel between floors. They are particularly suitable for public, commercial, and healthcare settings where fall protection and user security are paramount. The enclosed design also prevents accidental misuse or interference during operation.
Space-Saving Vertical Access
These lifts are perfect for properties where space is limited or a full passenger lift isn’t practical. With a compact footprint and no need for a lift shaft or machine room, enclosed platform lifts can be installed with minimal disruption. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and offer an efficient way to overcome level changes.
Compliant with UK Accessibility Laws
Enclosed platform lifts meet all the necessary UK regulations, including Part M of the Building Regulations and BS EN 81-41 standards. They also help buildings comply with the Equality Act 2010, making them an excellent choice for improving accessibility in public or commercial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions our customers have asked us during an installation or during the enquiry process
An enclosed platform lift is a vertical lift system that travels between floors inside a fully enclosed shaft or structure. Unlike open platform or step lifts, enclosed lifts provide a cabin-like experience, offering greater comfort, weather protection, and enhanced safety for the user—ideal for both internal and external use in commercial and public buildings.
Enclosed platform lifts are ideal for commercial environments such as offices, schools, hospitals, care homes, and retail centres. They are perfect for multi-level access and can be installed where a traditional passenger lift may be too costly or impractical.
Yes. All enclosed platform lifts supplied and installed by Pace Accessibility are fully compliant with Part M of the Building Regulations and the Equality Act 2010. These lifts help ensure your premises are legally accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
Enclosed platform lifts can typically travel up to 7 metres (around 3 floors), depending on the model. For taller buildings, we offer advanced solutions with extended travel ranges. Our team will advise you on the most suitable option based on your building’s structure.
While both provide vertical transport, enclosed platform lifts are generally slower and designed specifically for accessibility rather than general high-volume use. They do not require a deep pit or a machine room, making them easier and more cost-effective to install—especially in existing buildings.
No deep pit or machine room is required. Many enclosed platform lifts are self-contained units with their own shaft, requiring only a shallow recess or small ramp. This makes them ideal for retrofitting without major structural changes.
