An open vertical wheelchair lift is used where a ramp is not possible between 2 close levels. Present legislation allows an open vertical platform lift to rise to a maximum height of 2 metres, but normally does not exceed 1.2 metres.
Any lift travelling higher than 2 metres but less than 4 metres needs to comply much more stringently, since it may have 3 landings which will require landing doors. When passing through a slab, it must be fully enclosed or must comply with specific safety requirements.
