A vertical platform lift with the look and feel of a passenger lift
Our Stannah Piccolo range of low-speed lifts combines the benefits of a platform lift with the features of a conventional passenger lift, and as such includes a full lift car, sliding landing doors and automatic controls. The Piccolo lift has become the alternative to both a passenger or platform elevator, with minimal builders’ work required and quick installation, they blend smoothly into any building.
Manufactured by Stannah in the UK, the Piccolo low-speed lift is ideal for low-rise, low-usage applications. These small passenger lifts can be used in a variety of building applications including housing, retail stores, offices, schools and even as a home lift. The Stannah Piccolo lift offers an affordable solution for most building applications, particularly where space is limited.
Choose from a traditional wall-mounted configuration or our unique FX structure option, which offers reduced construction costs and is an ideal solution for timber-framed and existing buildings. The Piccolo is a low pit lift which might look like a small elevator, but it can carry up to 5 users, including passengers with disabilities and wheelchair users. It’s the ideal solution for travel up to 12m through a smooth hydraulic system.
The hybrid lift meets the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, Part M of the Building Regulations, Section 4.2 of the Technical Handbook and BS8300:2018 and comes with the relevant declaration of conformity.
With thousands of Stannah lifts installed all over Britain, you‘ll find our elevators are improving access across all market sectors, from offices, schools, public buildings and even domestic establishments. Plus with nationwide lift services covering the whole of the UK, you can rely on Stannah when the unexpected happens!
