FlexStep Indoors, Ramp Outdoors

Det smarte alternativ til ramper 

At first glance, the level difference at this doorway does not seem significant. It appears to be just one or two steps on either side of the entrance. However, for a wheelchair user, even a single step is an effective barrier. If everyone is to use the entrance, an accessible solution is essential.

Indoors: Compact and space-saving

In this project, the available space inside the building was limited. A conventional ramp would have occupied a large part of the room, reducing the available floor space and affecting everyday use. At the same time, there was not enough room for both a traditional staircase and a separate platform lift. 

The solution was a 4-step FlexStep – an elegant staircase that transforms into a platform lift at the touch of a button. In daily use, it functions as a normal staircase  with a minimal footprint. Whenever needed, it provides safe and convenient access for wheelchair users without compromising the interior layout. 

Outdoors: A ramp requires more space than you think

Outside the building, the customer chose a conventional access ramp. The comparison speaks for itself. Although the height difference appears modest, a ramp must be surprisingly long to provide a safe, comfortable gradient for wheelchair users. As a result, it occupies considerably more space than most people expect. 

The photos clearly illustrate the difference. While the ramp extends across a large area outside, the FlexStep fits neatly inside the entrance, offering an elegant and space-saving solution. It preserves both the functionality and aesthetics of the space while ensuring accessibility for everyone.

...that the number of steps is not what matters. Even a single step can create a significant barrier, but that does not mean the solution has to dominate the space. FlexStep combines a staircase and platform lift in one elegant product – ideal wherever every square metre counts.

FlexStep

The FlexStep stairlift is designed to function both as an ordinary staircase and as a wheelchair lift. Developed and manufactured by Liftup, the FlexStep is flexible and equally useful for pedestrians and wheelchair users alike. FlexStep is an innovative 2-in-1 solution and saves space compared to installing both a flight of stairs and a separate lift.
