Glaze Low-rise Platform Lift from Easy Living Home Elevators

Glaze low-rise platform lift improves
accessibility at RMIT University Melbourne

A low-rise platform lift designed with wheelchairs in mind has improved accessibility in the information centre of RMIT University.

With a focus on design and technology, this Melbourne CBD-based university is the largest tertiary educational institution in Australia.

The university's current strategic plan - titled Transforming the Future 2015 - outlines its urban and creative ambitions, with an emphasis on sustainable design and inspiration.

A modern, aesthetically-pleasing solution
The Glaze wheelchair platform lift offers a unique and aesthetically-appealing addition to the modern RMIT campus - and with its sleek design, it complements the university's architecture and decor.

Crafted from glass and aluminium for strength and safety, RMIT's Glaze lift features black dimpled rubber flooring from the entry into the lift for added safety for wheelchair users.

Compliant with the Building Code of Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act and Australian standards, the Glaze vertical platform lift offers a number of advantages for high-traffic spaces, including university campuses.

This practical elevator can travel to a height of up to two metres and can be used in indoor and outdoor settings. It can even be customised to suit the specific aesthetic and structural requirements of your space, and complies with the latest quality and safety requirements.

Low-rise lifts vs ramps for access
Low-rise platform lifts - such as the Glaze product - are often considered to be preferable to ramps in public spaces, as they offer effective disability access and take up significantly less room.

Another advantage of modern low-rise platform lifts are that they can be installed relatively quickly - in the case of RMIT, a phone line, power access and a cutout for the lift pit were all that was required to fit the Glaze lift.

The lift package does not require a shaft or a separate machine room - the power unit is contained within the lift itself.

Glaze vertical platform lifts are known for their robust and safe design and come complete with a number of useful features, including an on board console, single wing powered gates and safety bellows under the lift platforms.
