The Garaventa Stair-Lift - Model GSL Artira

The Garaventa GSL Artira is an inclined platform lift that easily transports a passenger up and down a stairway. The Stair-Lift platform travels along the inside or outside radius of an existing stairwell. It is custom designed and manufactured for each application and can be installed indoors and outdoors.

Innovative engineering and design have made Garaventa the industry leader in accessibility solutions. The Garaventa Stair-Lift is the most versatile, highest quality product of its kind, with more safety features than any other inclined platform lift. Endorsed by designers, architects and facility planners, Garaventa Stair-Lifts are installed in thousands of locations around the world.

Garaventa’s Stair-Lifts are world renowned for their elegant appearance and flexible design. The smooth tubular rail system is able to follow both straight and curving stairways, up several flights of stairs and across horizontal landings. Additional tubes, including an integrated handrail, can be added to the system.

The GSL Artira is designed to blend with the stairway and building architecture. A wide choice of standard and optional colors and finishes are available.

The Artira outdoor model is designed to withstand the toughest weather conditions, with a galvanized platform, stainless steel tubes and components, weather resistant seals, and a durable paint finish.

A variety of platform sizes and options allow extensive customization of the Garaventa Artira to meet the needs of the lift users.

Here’s why more design professionals specify the Garaventa GSL Artira:

Code Compliant – The Artira has undergone rigorous certification testing to meet or exceed international technical standards.

Safe & Reliable Drive System – The Garaventa GSL Artira uses Mains power - the primary source of electricity in all homes, schools and public buildings. That means our lift can run at full capacity 24 hours a day. The use of Mains power also enables the drive system to be safely locked in a cabinet away from the platform and inquisitive hands.

Strong & Durable – A galvanized steel-core wire rope inside support tubes pulls the platform up the stairs. The Artira is built to handle constant use, both indoors and outdoors.

Safety Sensors – All Garaventa Stair-Lifts are equipped with multi-directional sensors (under the platform, on the hanger and both ramps). These safety sensors immediately stop the lift - whether the platform is open or folded - should they detect an obstruction on the ramp or stairway. Garaventa is the only manufacturer to provide such advanced safety features.

Pedestrian Alert – Unique to the Artira are bright colored, platform mounted, flashing Pedestrian Safety Lights that alert pedestrians to the presence of the platform on the stairway. Placed in a highly visible area of the stairway, this optional audio-visual system alerts pedestrians that the lift is in use.

Easy To Use – Designed with the user in mind, Stair-Lift controls are easy to use by people with limited dexterity. This ensures the utmost in user independence.

Maximum Protection – For added security, a vandal protection feature keeps controls out of sight when the platform is folded. An optional lock is available to limit access to only those authorized to use the lift.

Fire Safety – In the event of a fire, inclined platform lifts are like elevators and should not be used. A fire safety feature - available only through Garaventa - can be integrated into your building’s alarm system so that the lift cannot be operated once the alarm has sounded. Should a lift be in use, it will travel only to a designated emergency exit landing.
