General information
From raw material to finished lift system.
Our lift systems are 100% individually manufactured in Austria at our factory in St. Peter am Wimberg. Lift technology ranges from technical planning advice, metal technology and mechatronics to annual servicing of the system, if required. As we have all these individual steps in our own hands, we are able to react flexibly to customer requests and leave nothing to chance. As a full-service provider in the field of lift systems, we are able to respond to every conceivable request and find a solution for every challenge.

MARCH – GTLE horizontal drive
The GTLE platform stairlift travels 0° – 50°, meaning that long horizontal journeys can be carried out on straight and curved tracks with all the advantages that the GTLE has to offer.

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.

JANUARY – Folding seat
The newly developed folding seat with cable remote control provides more comfort while driving. The space-saving folding seat can be ordered either coated or in stainless steel.

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, from icy to subtropical temperatures, as well as the salty ambient air. The GANSER platform stairlifts are provided with a special coating and preservation, so our GTLs serve their purpose perfectly and for many years – unhindered accessibility even on vacation.
