The Challenge

The homeowner in Glanmire faced a significant accessibility challenge due to the steep gradient leading from the driveway to the front entrance of the property. Accessing the home safely had become increasingly difficult, creating a barrier to independent living and restricting ease of movement in and out of the house.

A traditional access ramp was not a practical solution due to the incline and the space required, while a conventional lift installation would have involved substantial structural works.

The Solution

Following a detailed site assessment, MMS Medical recommended the installation of a Barduva RB150 Open Platform Lift. Designed for both residential and commercial environments, the RB150 provides safe vertical access of up to 3 metres without the need for an enclosed shaft or deep pit.

The lift was installed within a purpose-built access area at the front of the property, creating a seamless route from driveway level to the main entrance. Its compact design and minimal building requirements allowed the lift to integrate neatly with the existing home while preserving the appearance of the property.

Why the Barduva RB150?

The Barduva RB150 offers a practical and cost-effective solution for properties where traditional ramps or elevators are unsuitable.

Key benefits include:

  • No enclosed shaft required
  • No deep pit required
  • Minimal building works
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
  • Safe, smooth and reliable operation
  • Compact footprint
  • Low maintenance design

The Result

The completed installation has transformed access to the home, providing the homeowner with a safe, comfortable and reliable way to enter and leave their property independently.

By overcoming the challenges posed by the steep approach to the entrance, the Barduva RB150 has restored confidence, improved accessibility and future-proofed the home for years to come.
