SOLUTIONS FOR SHELTERS

Lifts for shelters

When the route to a shelter includes stairs or a level change, ASPAR assesses a vertical or inclined platform according to the geometry, available space, height and use scenario. A lift does not prove that the entire shelter meets accessibility requirements.

Tasks along the route

Equipment is integrated into a specific route section; the safety and accessibility of the whole building require separate assessment.

01

Stair flight

An inclined platform may follow the stairs when the geometry and landings allow it.

02

Vertical level change

A vertical platform is considered where a suitable lifting zone is available.

03

Complex route

Multiple sections, side entry or limited space require separate engineering review.

The task ASPAR solves

ASPAR checks the route plan, height or stair-flight length, width, landings, entry and exit, indoor or outdoor conditions and construction constraints.

Recommended solution types

01

Vertical platforms

For a direct level change where suitable space is available.

02

Inclined stair platforms

For travel along a stair flight in a defined configuration.

03

Custom solutions

For complex geometry or routes where a standard configuration is insufficient.

What determines the selection

The type is defined by the actual route geometry. Parameters from one shelter must not be transferred to another.

  • route plan and direction
  • height or stair-flight length
  • stair and landing width
  • entry and exit
  • indoor or outdoor conditions
  • photos, video and construction constraints

Shelter project in Kyiv

Paired ASPAR inclined lifts for a BMW-centre shelter in Kyiv

Paired inclined lifts for a BMW centre

ASPAR implemented two inclined platforms on separate stair flights along a shelter route. For another shelter, the configuration is determined by route geometry, level change and installation conditions.

View the project

Another completed example is the ASPAR stainless-steel vertical electric platform for access to a shelter in Stritivka, Kyiv region. The project uses a 1400 × 1100 mm pass-through platform for the shelter access route.

Integration and site preparation

Landing zones, fixing points, platform trajectory, gates and control stations are checked before manufacture. Construction-preparation responsibilities are agreed separately.

Frequently asked questions

Vertical or inclined platform?

Selection depends on the height, stair route, landings and available space.

Does a lift make the whole shelter accessible?

No. The lift addresses one level change; the complete route and building require separate assessment.

What should be provided for calculation?

A plan or route video, main dimensions, landing photos and operating-condition description.

What matters for an accessible route to a shelter?

For a route to a shelter, every section from the entrance to the destination space is assessed: level changes, stairs, landings, passages, available space and installation conditions. ASPAR selects a vertical or inclined solution after reviewing the route geometry.

ASPAR equipment for a shelter route

The solution type is determined by the actual route geometry, level change, stairs, landings and installation conditions.

Need a solution for a shelter route?

Send photos or video, a route plan and basic dimensions. ASPAR will check the geometry and propose an equipment type for technical review.
