Easy Access Lift from Passenger Lift Solutions

The PLS Easy Access Lift is the UK’s number one heavy-duty inboard lift and is widely used by the patient transfer service as it is safe, robust, and powerful.

Regarded as the strongest, and most reliable on the market, this inboard lift provides safe accessibility for able-bodied, mobility-restricted, and wheelchair users.

Suitable for rear or side door installation, and made from advanced high-strength steel, with many components manufactured in aluminium, it is a flexible, durable, and stable solution for vehicle access.

No detail has been overlooked. With a lifting capacity of up to 500kg, every Easy Access Lift includes a self-levelling bridging plate that provides smooth transfers from the platform to the vehicle. There is also the option of a spilt or solid platform making it suitable for your specific requirements to ensure it fits perfectly in the vehicle.

Platform Flexibility

Flexibility is a key feature of the PLS Easy Access Lift. With the longest platform available on the market today, it has been innovatively engineered with an impressive 400kg Safe Working Load (500Kgs upgrade available on all PLS lifts) and folds to a vertical position within the rear or side of a vehicle when stowed.  

With a split platform or single-piece design, the aluminium surface plate and non-slip covering provide extra strength and safety to support those boarding the vehicle or when loading cargo. A self-levelling, two section stainless steel alloy stop is also featured as standard and has been designed to work perfectly, even on irregular terrain, to ensure safe contact when deployed.

Quality by Design

Our team of designers carefully consider every single part of an access lift to ensure it is safe, reliable and manufactured to the highest quality. Easy Access is constructed with stainless steel giving it structural integrity, corrosion resistance and highly desirable mechanical properties. 

As the name suggests, Easy Access has been designed to make boarding the vehicle a breeze and is the only model that will accommodate the latest large bariatric stretchers. The extra wide version even provides ample room on the platform for operator and patient. 

Strong Handrails

Our automatic dual handrail system is constructed from high-tensile thick wall steel and then powder coated and rubber dipped to add a strong and durable finish. Measuring 760mm long with an impressive 300mm of high flat hand-holding (the Bariatric handrail is 420mm) the handrails ensure safety and assistance when using the lift and mechanically fold away when the lift is not in use.

Compact Drive System

Easy Access uses a powerful and controlled hydraulic system that allows the lift to be deployed and stowed away with ease. For extra safety assurance, it includes a manual over-ride so it can be operated with a simple hand pump feature. The PLS Easy Access is the only inboard lift to feature a secondary Down valve lock to ensure the hydraulics do not creep.

Easy Installation

The name ‘Easy Access’ follows through in its installation and maintenance. Thanks to its innovative design and quality UK-manufactured parts, Easy Access is simple to install, operate and maintain. If you require assistance with installation, PLS has certified engineers nationwide who can help.
