It relates to the BS or EN for which the platform manufacturers insurers will not pick liabilty for if they deviate from the recognised standard. What is needed is a change to the BS or EN. But I understand that the main lift manufaturers don't want that to happen !!
Different manufacters systems vary greatly always check and test out ones in situ.

I have taken this up with several of the manufacturers and they can't
come up with a reasonable answer to it! Some mumble that if they had
switches that stayed on the then the lift could run out of control (?).
It is something I will - again - be taking up with them at NAIDEX this
year.

Can anyone explain why most platform lifts need to have their control
buttons constantly depressed to use them. This makes use very difficult
for some disabled people.
