Echo Go

Portable Step Lift

Home › Incline Platform Lifts

The Echo Go is a self-contained, portable wheelchair lift designed for temporary access needs.

Equipped with large castors, it can be wheeled into place and plugged straight into an existing power socket — no installation required.

Incline Platform Lifts

WhatIstheElevateGlide?

The Elevate Glide is an incline platform lift — sometimes called an incline platform stairlift — that travels along a rail fixed directly to an existing staircase using a rack and pinion drive system. Unlike a conventional stairlift, which seats the user on a small fold-down chair, the Glide carries the user on a platform together with their wheelchair or mobility aid. No transfer out of the wheelchair is required.

The Glide is suitable for both straight and curved staircases — the rail is custom-fabricated to follow the exact profile of the staircase it is fitted to, with a minimum rail length of 500mm and a maximum of 35 metres, covering everything from a short domestic staircase to a long commercial flight.

Incline Platform Lifts

WhatIstheEchoGo?

The Echo Go is a portable step lift built around a scissor mechanism, designed specifically for flexible, temporary wheelchair access. Unlike a permanently fitted step lift, the Echo Go is not fixed in place — it arrives pre-built, can be wheeled into position on its large castors, and simply plugs into an existing wall socket to charge.

This makes it a practical option wherever access is needed for a limited period, or where a fixed installation isn't possible or desirable — such as a temporary ramp-up at an event, short-term home access during recovery from surgery, or a movable solution for a hire company or venue with changing requirements.

Echo Go vs Echo 50 — Portable vs Permanent

Elevate also produces the Echo 50, a self-contained step lift intended for permanent installation at a fixed entrance. The Echo Go is the portable counterpart — designed to be moved, stored, and redeployed rather than fixed at one location. If you need a permanent solution at a single entrance, ask your installer about the Echo 50 instead.

HowtheElevateGlideWorks

The platform folds flat against the wall or stair when not in use — 300mm clearance on leg mount, 245mm on wall mount

The user unfolds the platform and boards with their wheelchair or mobility aid
The arm and safety barrier are lowered into position
The user operates the controls and the platform travels along the rail via the rack and pinion drive
The anti-jamming safety switch and brake system continuously monitor the journey
The platform arrives at the top or bottom landing and the user exits

HowtheEchoGoWorks

The unit is wheeled into position on its large castors and plugged into a nearby wall socket to charge

The external platform height is adjusted to align with the landing it sits against
The user boards the platform with their wheelchair or mobility aid via the easy entry ramp
The scissor mechanism raises the platform smoothly and quietly to the upper level
The user exits at the top, and the platform lowers back down once no longer needed
When access is no longer required at that location, the unit folds away for storage or is wheeled to its next position
