The BC lift is designed for straight staircases and can be fitted directly to a wall or supported on stanchion posts. The user can operate the lift, independently, as the barrier arms and ramps are powered. For ambulant users, the folding seat is available on the lift.

Re-siting the lift is quick and straightforward, the lift is simply adjusted for left or right hand fixing.

When the lift is not in use, it can be folded and parked: measured only 285 mm. from the wall, thus allowing clear access to the staircase. The user can call the lift, even when folded.

The BC lift is reliable and complies with British and European safety standards. When the user drives on to the platform and pushes the joystick in the direction of travel, the barrier arms and ramp automatically fold and close. It is not possible to operate the lift until the barrier arms and ramps are folded and in place. The lift stops automatically at the upper and lower landings.

The user can stop the lift at any time. The lift stops automatically if it meets an obstruction on the staircase. The barrier arms and ramps are pressure sensitive and the platform is fitted with a pressure sensitive undertray.

If the power to the lift fails, the lift can be operated using the manual hand-wind handle.
