Detailed Overview
Aesthetically Pleasing & Unobtrusive
When you need to bypass a flight of steps, you shouldn't have to ruin the look of your property with heavy industrial equipment. The Melody 1 was designed with aesthetics in mind. Because the lift uses a clever hydraulic scissor mechanism hidden underneath the platform, it doesn't require a tall vertical support mast. This keeps your sightlines clear and minimizes visual intrusion. It also comes standard in a sleek, maintenance-free stainless steel finish (with custom paint colours available to match your décor).
The Perfect Alternative to Ramping
If a traditional wheelchair ramp isn't feasible due to a lack of space or a steep gradient, the Melody 1 is the ultimate solution. It incorporates a shallow, integral approach ramp, meaning it can usually be installed directly onto a flat surface without the need to dig an expensive pit. This keeps building work, mess, and disruption to an absolute minimum.
Smooth, Quiet, and Independent Travel
The state-of-the-art 24-volt hydraulic system provides an incredibly smooth and quiet ride. Once on the platform, illuminated, constant-pressure controls make it effortless for a wheelchair user or a semi-ambulant person to operate the lift independently. For ultimate peace of mind, the lift includes a full battery backup system, ensuring you are never left stranded in the event of a power cut.
Uncompromising Safety
The Melody 1 is built to the highest safety standards. The underside of the platform features a full safety edge that will instantly stop the lift if it touches an obstacle while lowering. An upper-level gate with a secure interlock can also be added, ensuring the highest level of protection for you and your family.
