What do you do when you, your employees or your customers cannot walk up or down the stairs at your place of work, and there is no elevator to help you go from one story to the next? For many business owners in the greater Cincinnati area, inclined platform stairlifts are the best solution. If plans for your jobsite do not include installing a new elevator, you can use an inclined platform stairlift to take advantage of your current set of stairs.
At Transitions Lift + Elevator, we are experts in helping customers select and install the perfect lifting equipment for their needs. Whether you need a platform lift for your small business, a church or a school institution, Transitions has the capability to provide custom platform lifts for any need. Aging members of your congregation will love being able to continue to come to church with one of our platform lifts.
Who Can Benefit From Commercial Inclined Platform Lifts?
You might think that injured and disabled employees would be the chief beneficiaries of installing commercial inclined stairlifts at a company like yours.
In reality, in addition to ensuring that you provide equal access to all workers — whether or not they have physical limitations — you also open your premises to a wide range of individuals who might otherwise be excluded. What’s more, not everyone will complain about lack of access — at least not to you, that is. The last thing you would want is to be unaware of inadvertently excluding people, due to access issues.
Think of vendors, journalists, potential investors, would-be affiliates or potential franchisees that rely on wheelchairs or crutches and wouldn’t be able to tour your facility, let alone consider doing business with you.
Many organizations have come to see the benefits of ensuring that their premises are ADA compliant by using commercial inclined stairlifts. They know that they have expanded the potential talent pool to more recruits when access is easy at the business. This is how installing commercial stairlifts can be good for an organization’s bottom line.
How You Can Use an Inclined Stair Platform Lift
Inclined platform stairlifts are designed to transport people smoothly up and down stairs when it’s difficult or impossible for them to do it on their own.
When you have sufficient notice, you’ll want to install a stairlift at work before an employee returns back to work from the hospital or rehab. Once installed, you can use it for a range of important purposes, including:
• Take supplies back to a workspace on the second story at your company
• Get out of a second-story business as soon as possible in case of an emergency
• Give ill, injured or weakened individuals a break, letting them sit down instead of having to climb a flight of stairs during recuperation
