May 2009.

This newly launched Sesame lift is not designed to use a set of retracting stairs in the same way as the standard Sesame Access System. Instead it can be fitted unobtrusively in an area that requires just a vertically traveling platform.

If you check the photos in the gallery above you will notice a fixed control post permanently on view. Architects can opt for this post rather than a hidden rising button post so users can find the wheelchair lift.

The user calls the platform lift by passing a swipe card over the call station. Once on the platform they can press and hold the up or down button on the post to reach the desired level.

This optional control system can be an ideal way to serve a wheelchair user in locations such as hotels. The customer can be given the swipe card with their keys at check-in and from then on will be able to operate the lift without assistance. This automatically ensures that the lift is inoperable by children or any unauthorised persons.
