Stannah announces new addition to platform range with Stairiser CR2

Stannah, a leader in the UK lifts sector, announces an innovative new addition to its Stairiser platform lift range – the Stairiser CR2.

The new Stairiser CR2 inclined platform lift, which replaces Stairiser CR, is designed for use on a curved rail, making it suitable for any run of stairs with a single turn, multiple landings or spiral configuration. 

Sleek and stylish, the new Stairiser CR2 is designed specifically for curved stairways with the major benefit of the new Stairiser CR2 over the Stairiser CR is that it offers greater energy efficiency along with a new design that is both stylish and discrete. Stairiser CR2’s slimline design means the rail has minimal outward projection from the wall and the platform folds away when not in use.

Along with its more elegant appearance, Stairiser CR2 retains the dependable rack-and-pinion system that makes Stannah’s Stairiser range a trusted choice with customers in both existing and new buildings.

The Stannah inclined platform lift range is a market leading access solution that is ideal to help make an existing building accessible to all. Similarly to the Stairiser SR, which is designed to run on a single straight flight of stairs, the CR2 for curved stair flights continues to work in the event of a power failure because the drive motor is powered with onboard batteries. The unit is charged at each landing stop to ensure it continues to function even during a power outage. 

Multiple platform sizes on Stairiser CR allow it to comfortably accommodate a wheelchair and user combined. It features a fully automatic, electrically controlled folding platform. Safety barrier arms and raised ramps ensure safety of the user during travel. The lift supports a maximum load of 250kg. Optional features include a remote call station.

Meeting requirements

As one of the slimmest and most discrete options on the market, Stannah’s range of Stairisers helps building owners to meet the requirements of the Equality Act and Part M of the Building Regulations.

Mark Chapman, General Manager of the Platform and Microlift Division at Stannah Lifts, says: “Our new Stairiser CR2 curved inclined platform lift provides customers with the same reliable functionality but with improved efficiency and a more elegant profile. It creates an ideal access solution where the building can’t accommodate a vertical lift, the flight of stairs is too short for a ramp, but step-free access is required.

“The discrete design makes it suitable for use in a wide range of buildings where unencumbered access to the stairway needs to be retained. The new addition to the platform and Stairiser range is more efficient and a sleeker design lift solution while providing independent and safe access to wheelchair users.”

The new Stairiser CR2 platform lifts are now live on the Stannah lifts website.
