The Garaventa XPress II inclined platform wheelchair lift is designed to provide access between two landings. The platform travels on rails which are secured directly to the wall or to support towers. The upper rail houses a gear rack and a traveling cable while the lower rail provides lateral support.

The XPress II is cost-effective and is BCA compliant. This model can be designed with a variety of standard and optional features to suit the needs of the user and building owner.
