Wheelchair Step Lifts

Q: What weight can an Adapt-A-Home step lift carry?

The Super Step Lift 3m is rated up to 280 kg, which covers a powerchair plus user in most situations. For heavier users or larger powerchairs, speak to the Adapt A Home team before ordering so the correct platform size and capacity are specified from the start.

Q: Who qualifies for VAT relief on a step lift?

Individuals with a long-term physical or mental impairment, a chronic condition (diabetes, for example), or a terminal illness can claim VAT relief at checkout. Registered charities can qualify by supplying a charity number. VAT relief does not apply to able-bodied elderly buyers or to temporary disabilities.

A single step or raised threshold should not stop you from moving freely around your own home. A step lift lets you stay in your wheelchair, powerchair, or mobility scooter throughout the platform, which rises and lowers safely, with no transfer required.

Adapt A Home wheelchair step lifts are fully customisable and can be installed indoors or outside, with 1-metre to 3-metre vertical travel. Each domestic step lift allows wheelchair, powerchair, or scooter access over obstacles, doorsteps, raised porches, split-level entrances and garden terraces. Commercial step lifts are also available for hotels, stores, clinics and public venues across the UK.

How to Choose the Step Lift

Picking the right step lift really comes down to three simple questions.

How high does it need to go?

Measure from the ground to the top step. One or two steps at the front door usually call for a 1-metre lift. A raised porch or split-level hallway tends to sit in the 1.5–2 metre range. A 3-metre model handles taller rises like an elevated ground floor or a raised patio.

Inside or outside the house?

Adapt A Home step lifts can be fitted either way. Outdoor models are weatherproofed for British rain, frost and heat. Indoor installs are designed to sit neatly against existing décor with a low-profile finish.

Home use or public use?

Domestic lifts are built for a single household. Commercial models used in hotels, clinics, shops and public buildings come with the extra safety features needed in shared spaces.

Still unsure? Book a free home survey with Adapt A Home and one of the team will measure up and confirm the right fit.

Step Lift Types Available at Adapt A Home

Domestic step lifts

Compact platforms for front doors, back gardens and internal level changes. The simplest way to make a home fully accessible is without tearing up the layo

Outdoor step lifts:

Weather-resistant models for external use. Popular at front entrances, raised decking and split-level driveways.

Commercial step lifts

Are specified for hotels, guesthouses, clinics, retail and public venues working toward accessible premises. Heavier-duty build, enhanced safety features.

Every unit runs on mains power with a battery backup, so a power cut won’t leave anyone mid-platform. Entry configurations can be set up as through-entry, adjacent-entry, bridging or pit-mounted, depending on the space.

Step lift or stairlift, which is right?

If transferring out of the chair isn’t safe or comfortable, a step lift is almost always the right choice.
