Description

Powerglide provide elevator solutions for accessibility and aged care requirements. The 1400mm car floor size allows for wheelchair access, along with hand rails, tactile controls and an in-car telephone.

Powerglide's Teleglide cylinder design means the lift runs on its own rails and doesn’t touch the sides. This makes Powerglide Elevators fast, stable and safe, while being low maintenance, and offering flexibilty of design. There's no need for deep holes, or roofline modifications, so a Powerglide Elevator is suitable for retrofittng, and the car interior can be customised to suit individual layouts and decors.
