DDA lift

Built To Australia’s DDA Standards

The Access DDA was designed specifically to meet Australia’s stringent DDA standards. From the double COP through to handrail and clearance requirements, it checks all the boxes for a worry-free accessibility solution. Handrails are uninterrupted, round, at least 600 mm long with rounded edges, set 50 mm clear of each wall and 900 mm above the platform floor. Buttons are 50 mm in diameter, illuminated and braille-marked, mounted between 900 mm and 1100 mm from the floor, with an alarm and phone button. The lift fully complies on every one of those points.

It is a screw-driven platform lift: the platform is attached to a nut travelling on an endless screw, so there is no machine room and no separate electrical cabinet, and headroom stays low. The pit is only 100–120 mm, or zero with a ramp, where a typical traction lift of this type needs a 1500 mm pit in reinforced concrete. Rated load is 400 kg on a 1100 x 1400 mm platform inside a 1500 mm finished shaft, with up to three stops and 6,000 mm of travel at 0.15 m/s. Power is 1 x 230 V or 3 x 400 V, drawing 3 kW through an asynchronous Motovario motor, and the lift is certified to EN 81-41. Operation is whisper quiet with low energy consumption, and the platform gives around 1.5 m² of standing space against roughly 0.6 m² in a traditional cabin lift of the same footprint.

Suitable indoors or out, the Access DDA comes with its own glass, steel or aluminium shaft — frameless glass gives a 360° panoramic view — in premium white matte powdercoat as standard, with black optional. Overhead is 2400 mm, or 2700 mm with the outdoor roof, which includes an exhaust fan as standard. An emergency phone runs on a landline or SIM, and remote monitoring is available over IoT. Every Access DDA is supplied, installed and serviced by Lift Design from our Perth and Albany showrooms.
