Shaftway lift
Primarily utilized to provide an accessibility solution when a shaftway is already in place.
A shaftway vertical platform lift is designed for enclosed shaftway applications in public and private facilities at travel heights up to 168″.
Indoor or outdoor use
For commercial or residential settings
Accessible and visually discreet
A shaftway model is installed in an enclosure that is integral to the building. The benefit of a shaftway lift is that the lift enclosure can be made to blend into the environment, removing visual distractions.

With a variety of custom paint colors to choose from, you can ensure that your shaftway lift will perfectly complement any architectural design.
