RISING TO THE CHALLENGE SET BY THE DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT

Configure, the UK’s largest commercial disability access consultancy, has launched a short rise vertical platform lift for providing access over level changes up to one metre.

Requiring minimal structural alterations, the short rise lift is easy to install and easy to use. It includes safety gates, non-slip flooring and a manual over-ride release in the event of battery failure. It can safely carry up to 300kg, and provides a fixed ramp for easy access.

Configure (www.configure.co.uk) assists businesses to meet their obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act. It offers a comprehensive range of cost effective and easy to implement services that include access audits, auxiliary aids, building adjustments and staff disability equality training.
