The user approaches the lower level and boards the platform via the ramp or gate arrangement for their chosen configuration, with their wheelchair or mobility aid, and an attendant if needed
The gate is closed, manually or via powered gate controls if fitted
The integrated hydraulic pump drives the scissor-frame platform smoothly up to the next level
The platform travels up to 1 metre to reach the upper landing
The upper gate opens and the user exits at the new level
A battery backup keeps the lift operational during a power failure, with a manual emergency lowering system as a further fallback

What is the maximum load capacity of the Vision 1m Steplift?
The Vision has a standard load capacity of 280kg, with a 340kg heavy-duty capacity option available.
What's the difference between Through Entry, Adjacent Entry, Pit Mounted and Bridging Steps?
Through Entry has a ramp and the user travels straight across, entering and exiting on opposite sides. Adjacent Entry uses a gate at the lower level with entry and exit on the same side. Pit Mounted sits within a prepared pit and needs no ramp at all. Bridging Steps spans one, two or three existing steps using an 800 x 1400mm platform.
What happens if there's a power failure?
The Vision is battery operated and continues to function during a power failure. A manual emergency lowering system is also available as a further fallback.
How long does installation take?
Pollock states a typical installation of around 5 hours, and the unit can be relocated later if your needs change.

Can the Vision be installed outdoors?
Yes. The Vision is suitable for both internal and external locations, with IP67-rated switching to protect the controls from water.
