FAQs

What is a DDA compliant lift?

Part M states that the preferred DDA-compliant lift solution to enable disabled access is a passenger lift, particularly for new developments. However, it also recognises that a building may not always be able to accommodate a passenger lift so a platform lift can be considered to achieve DDA lift compliance in these instances.

What are DDA-compliant lift car dimensions?

DDA-compliant lift car dimensions should be a 17 or 8-person passenger lift or an 1100x1400mm platform lift size.

What are typical DDA lift costs?

The cost of a DDA platform lift fully installed will vary depending on the product chosen but will typically be between £11,000 and £30,000. This is also dependent on lift travel, finishes, and functional options chosen. All lifts require building work in addition to the supply and installation costs.

Do I need a DDA compliant platform lift?

No, not all buildings need a DDA lift. However, the Equality Act means a DDA platform lift is necessary if it's difficult or impossible for a disabled person to use a building's facilities or services and a passenger lift can't be fitted. So, most existing commercial and public buildings install a DDA platform lift to make their premises more accessible to everyone.

What's the lead time on a DDA lift?

The lead time from order to installation of a DDA  lift depends on the lift you choose, so it's best to engage with us as early as possible for your project. Once the site is ready, the fitting process usually takes between 2 and 5 days, depending on the product.
