One lift, many places to use it
Robust materials and simple controls make the UnaPorte an all-purpose open platform lift for private and public settings.
Homes
Reach a raised entry, split level or front porch with ease. Ideal for ageing in place and for wheelchair users who want independent access to their own home.
Commercial and public buildings
Add step-free access to shops, cafés, clinics, schools, offices and community venues without major structural work.
Indoor and outdoor entries
Weatherproof to IP54 for outdoor installations, with an optional thermal door for exposed locations. Equally at home inside a foyer or stairwell.
Suitable for wheelchair users, people using a rollator or walking frame, and for moving heavy items such as shopping, luggage or equipment between levels.
Smart technology, simple to use
Clear feedback for users and fast support from technicians, so your lift keeps running with fewer call-outs.
Self-explanatory error display
If a fault occurs, the colour display shows the cause and the possible fix, along with the current operating status at a glance. This helps solve around 80% of possible errors without the need for a technician to attend.
Remote status check (optional)
With the optional SMS remote query, your technician can check the lift's operating status from anywhere and give practical advice, often before anyone needs to come on site.
Voice output
Optional spoken announcements make operation clearer for every user, including people with low vision.

A frequency-controlled drive gives a gentle soft start and soft stop, while a patented door lock and electrical emergency lowering keep every trip secure.

Accessibility in commercial and public buildings
In buildings that must provide access for people with a disability, the National Construction Code sets travel limits depending on the type of lift. For some types of platform lift, travel is limited to 1 m or 2 m. Your building certifier will confirm what applies to your project, and our team can help you choose the right configuration from the start.
For private homes, these building code limits generally do not apply, and the UnaPorte can reach up to 4000 mm.

UnaPorte wheelchair lift questions
How high can the UnaPorte wheelchair lift travel?
The UnaPorte covers lifting heights from 600 mm up to 3000 mm between two stops, or up to 4000 mm in private homes. In commercial and public buildings, the National Construction Code may set a lower limit depending on the lift type, so your building certifier will confirm what applies.
Does the UnaPorte need a lift shaft or a pit?
No. The UnaPorte is self-supporting, so no shaft is needed, and a drive-on ramp removes the need for a pit. This keeps building work to a minimum.
Can the UnaPorte be installed outdoors?
Yes. It is weatherproof to IP54, frost-proof down to -20°C and suits both indoor and outdoor installations. An optional thermal door is available for exposed outdoor locations.
How much space does the UnaPorte need?
The platform measures 1400 x 1100 mm and the overall footprint is 1690 x 1333 mm. For tight spaces, the UnaPorte 90 corner-entry version needs 1510 x 1450 mm. The door has a clear opening of 930 mm, wide enough for most wheelchairs.
How much weight can the UnaPorte carry?
The rated load is 385 kg, enough for a wheelchair user together with a companion.
What power supply does the UnaPorte need?
A standard single-phase supply of 220 to 240 V with a 16 A circuit. No three-phase power is required.
How long does UnaPorte installation take?
Assembly is possible within one day, and no crane is needed for lifting heights up to 3 m. The lift can be carried through a doorway as narrow as 90 cm, which makes retrofitting simple.
Is the UnaPorte suitable for my home?
Yes. It is a popular choice for raised entries, split-level homes and outdoor access where a stairlift is not suitable for a wheelchair user. Contact our team for a site consultation and we will recommend the best configuration for your home.
