Is it right for my space?

Where LK-1 fits best

A few steps indoors

3, 4 or 5 steps up to ~1.2 m: entrances, lobbies, level changes.

Retail, offices, schools

The stairs stay stairs for everyone; the platform appears when needed.

Stages and podiums

Access to a stage without a long ramp across the hall.

Heritage buildings

A classic design line to match historic interiors.

When space is tight

No extra floor area – the platform forms within the stairs.

During power cuts

A backup battery lets the lift complete its travel safely.

If your situation differs
Outdoors or above 1.2 m choose AK-1 or AK-2; for several floors – KN-45.

Stairs that become a lift

At the press of a button the steps lower and join into a level platform with a ramp flap. The user rolls on, the platform rises to the upper level – and then returns to stairs.

LK-1 normally functions as ordinary stairs. When activated, the steps lower and join into a level platform with a ramp flap. The user rolls on, the platform rises to the upper level, and then it returns to stairs.

Installation and configurations

How installation works

LK-1 is built with 3, 4 or 5 steps – the number of steps sets the height it serves. The standard platform is 1400 × 1100 mm and its width can be reduced to suit the site. Choose body, handrail and tread colours and the design line in the configurator.

How a project runs

  1. Photos and height. You send photos of the stairs and an approximate height – we choose the number of steps.
  2. Site check. An engineer verifies dimensions, floor and power supply.
  3. Manufacturing. Built in our Kaunas workshop to your configuration.
  4. Installation and training. We install, test and show users how to operate it.

What to prepare

  • A 230 V power supply at the lift location (the exact feed is specified in the proposal).
  • Free space to the agreed dimensions.
  • Access for installation – a standard door is usually enough.

What to send with your request
