JUNE – 3rd motorised access ramp
The side access ramp on the GTLE has been motorised. By eliminating the access ramp on the valley side and using a steep approach, the maximum platform length can now be maximised on the lower landing. The side access ramp effectively saves space, especially on narrow stairs. Thanks to the narrow drive concealed in the platform, it can now be folded open by 90° and thus guarantees maximum space on the platform, even on narrow staircases.

GTL’s in special design: cruise ships, swimming pools, beach facilities,…
Our GTLs have been specially designed for the toughest challenges. More than 50 GTL platform stairlifts are now used on cruise ships to help passengers overcome a wide variety of barriers. Particularly outdoors, our lifts have to withstand all kinds of weather conditions, from icy to subtropical temperatures, as well as the salty ambient air. The Ganser platform stairlifts are provided with a special coating and conservation, so our GTLs serve their purpose perfectly and for many years – unhindered accessibility even on holiday.
