Hiro 320 Inclined Curved Platform Lift

The Hiro 320 inclined platform lift offers an ideal solution for overcoming most stair cases whether inside or out regardless of any bends, intermediate landings or number of stops. This high quality platform lift has been designed to be safe, easy to use and dependable with a standard load capacity of 225 to 300kg.

The lift is powered by a 24V DC battery system which remains charged from a 230V single phase 13 Amp fused spur power supply (effectively requiring one of the “3 pin sockets” in the home to be changed).

Due to the unique patented friction drive system the platform runs on clean extruded stainless steel tubular track.

Control on the platform is via a spiral cable offering the choice of operation by the user or an attendant whilst the call stations are available either in the form of remote control hand consoles or fixed point stations secured to the wall.

Product Information

• Clean friction drive system (you will find no oil or grease anywhere near our system)
• The stainless steel profiled guide rails have been specially designed to not only transport the platform lift but also to satisfy the requirements of Part M – see below – in terms of handrail requirements ** there are a couple of provisos to this claim in so far as the rail can not continue 300mm horizontally beyond the nose of the top and bottom steps [para. 1.37d] and in external environments may be cold to the touch [1.37f] The platform and stanchion posts are available as standard in a choice of 12 RAL colours.
• Robust and versatile design
• Power supply 230V – single phase – 13 Amp (already found in EVERY home and building throughout the country)
• Battery operated to enable use at any time (even in the event of a power failure)
• Safety sensor on all sides of the platform to ensure there are no trapping / crushing hazards
• Suitable for staircases up to 70° pitch inclineIn the parked position, wall mounted platforms only protude 350mm with the barrier arms contained behind the platform (to minimize the opportunity for them to be swung from and hence damaged)
• Quiet and smooth continuous operation
• Economical costs (installation and maintenance)
• Comfortable, convenient, safe and efficient
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor applications
• Compliance with United Kingdom and European codes

The Hiro 320 has been specially designed to suit any environment through a selection of options:

• Available for mounting either directly on to existing walls or stanchion mounted with fixings on the wall or stairs (or a combination of the two)
• If you can’t find a colour that you like within the standard range (of 12) we are happy to provide the platform and stanchions in any other RAL colour.
• Folding seat (for those that have difficulty with the stairs but do not need a wheelchair)
• Side load platform (for those areas where there is insufficient space in front of the bottom step to enable the platform to land and a user to access the platform)
• Selection of platform sizes (although Part M – see below – indicates the need for a platform of 800mm x 1250mm very often there is insufficient space to accommodate these dimensions without undertaking major building renovation work. Consequently we are able to offer a selection of sizes from 650mm x 750mm to suit the users wheelchair and staircase)

Regulatory Considerations

Whilst all Public Access units are manufactured and type tested as evidence of satisfying the Essential Safety Requirements of the European Machinery Regulations with the appropriate CE marking; platform lifts installed within the UK require Building Regulations approval to satisfy their national standards which makes further demands beyond the European Regulations.

Details of the relevant Regulations dependent upon where you live in the UK can be found from the “Regulations” tab at the top of the page. Alternatively, for your convenience our staff are always available to discuss the requirements with you (or your Building Control Officer) to ensure Building Regulation approval is satisfied.
