Translyft Lifting Technology are your lifting solutions with scissor lifts, loading bay lifts, goods lifts.

Disability Discrimination ActThe Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)

It is estimated that there are approximately 6.8 million disabled people in the UK and in 1993 approximately 750 000 where wheel-chair users.

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is an act of parliament which aims to end discrimination that many disabled people face.

In 1995 the DDA was amended to include a set of guidelines for equal access of services. This included physical access to building and all its levels. For a copy of the DDA Act click here.

Since 2004 it has been mandatory that all Offices, Restaurants, Public Buildings, Leisure Facilities, Education establishments, places of worship and medical centers’ improve access to upper floors and multi level surfaces.

The DDA states that as a service provider it is your duty to:-

  • Remove the feature or service that is inaccessible

  • Alter the feature or service so that is becomes accessible

  • Provide a reasonable alternative to make the service or feature in question accessible (providing a lifting platform)

If providing platform lifts the following should also be considered:-

  • The Disabled Lifting Platform should be provided to transfer wheel-chair users and people with impaired mobility vertically between levels or storeys

  • The wheelchair user should be able to reach and use the controls

  • Disabled Lifting platforms should travel slowly between levels or storeys

  • Disability Lifting Platforms should have gates and guard rails to ensure the safety of the wheel-chair users and persons with impaired mobility when the Lifting Platform is in use.

The Part M Building Regulations

Translyft Disabled / Good lift solution

Part M of the building regulations sets out the standards and guidelines for disabled access to a building including steps, ramps, door widths, platforms etc.

In 2004 the regulation was revised in accordance with the revised Disability discrimination act.

Part M of the Building Regulations covers:-

  • Access to and use of new buildings
  • Access to extensions to buildings other than dwellings
  • Sanitary conveniences in extensions other than dwellings
  • Sanitary conveniences in dwellings
Another change to the regulation is that it has been extended to include existing non-domestic buildings undergoing extension, a material alteration or material change of use. In addition with respect to extensions and changes of use of part of a building, there must now be suitable independent access to that part of the building or suitable access through the building.
