In many commercial buildings, providing accessibility between levels is essential—but a full elevator is not always the most practical solution.

For low-rise applications, platform lifts offer a space-efficient alternative that can be installed with minimal structural impact. The Cibes Primo platform lift is specifically designed for these environments, providing a reliable and flexible solution for both new construction and retrofit projects. This guide explores common platform lift commercial applications and where they are best used.

What Is a Platform Lift?

A platform lift (also known as a vertical platform lift or VPL) is designed to transport passengers between levels in low-rise settings.

Compared to traditional elevators, platform lifts:

  • Require less space
  • Operate at a reduced speed suited for accessibility
  • Can often be installed without major structural changes

The Cibes Primo uses a screw-driven system, which allows for smooth, controlled movement while minimizing the need for complex building adaptations.
