Case Study: TSL 1000 Step Lift Installation, Dublin City
The Challenge
The homeowner was experiencing increasing difficulty accessing their property due to a series of external steps leading to the front entrance. While the steps were manageable for family members and visitors, they presented a significant obstacle for wheelchair access and reduced the client’s ability to enter and leave the home independently.
The layout of the entrance meant that installing a traditional access ramp would have been difficult due to the limited space available and the length required to achieve a safe gradient. The client needed a practical solution that would provide safe access without extensive alterations to the property.
The Solution
Following a site assessment, MMS Medical recommended the Terry TSL 1000 Step Lift as the most suitable option for the property.
The compact platform lift was installed directly outside the entrance, providing a safe and reliable means of travelling between ground level and the front door. Because the TSL 1000 is a self-contained unit, the installation was completed quickly with minimal disruption to the homeowner and without the need for major construction work.
The new lift integrates neatly into the existing entrance area while maintaining easy access for all users of the property.
Why the TSL 1000 Step Lift?
