of an inclined platform lift, which often attaches directly to the
stairway wall or around the central core, may necessitate removal
of the handrail or balustrade. This precludes the use of inclined
lifts in most stairways due to building code issues.

ò This
situation can be avoided by specifying your inclined platform lift with an integrated handrail with a code compliant diameter of no more than 1 1/2 inches.á
This will replace the handrail
that has been removed and will satisfy
most building code authorities.á If the balustrade is also removed it can be replaced by infill panels that are integrated into the lift design, along with the integrated handrails.
