Ensuring lift accessibility for people with reduced mobility is an important part of creating a barrier-free environment in Ukraine. Specialised equipment helps provide comfort and safety for people with disabilities, elderly people and parents with young children who use pushchairs.
Euroformat, one of Ukraine’s manufacturers of lifts for people with reduced mobility, offers modern solutions that meet regulatory requirements and user needs.
Regulatory requirements for lifts for people with reduced mobility
In Ukraine, the design and installation of lifts for people with reduced mobility are regulated by the national building regulations, including DBN V.2.2-40:2018, “Inclusivity of buildings and structures”. These regulations establish requirements for creating a barrier-free environment.
The main requirements include:
- Door opening width – at least 900 mm.
- Lift cabin dimensions – a minimum of 1100 × 1400 mm is recommended.
- Height of control buttons – 800-1200 mm above floor level so they are accessible to wheelchair users.
- Tactile and audible features – required for people with visual impairments.
- Floor level – no thresholds that could obstruct access.
These requirements reflect not only Ukrainian standards but also international accessibility standards, including ISO 21542. Barrier-free design requirements and compliant lifts are becoming mandatory in new buildings and during the refurbishment of existing properties.
Technical solutions for inclusive lifts
Modern inclusive lifts from the Ukrainian manufacturer Euroformat incorporate a range of technical solutions designed for people with reduced mobility.
- Wider doors. These provide convenient access for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
- Accessible control buttons. Tactile panels with Braille markings and voice notifications make lifts easier to use for people with visual impairments and other accessibility needs.
- A spacious lift cabin. This allows a wheelchair user and an accompanying person to travel comfortably together.
- Quiet operation and smooth travel. These features help reduce discomfort for users with sensory sensitivities.
- Emergency systems. Emergency call buttons and communication systems help improve passenger safety.
These solutions make lifts versatile and convenient for different categories of users. Euroformat platform lifts and lifts for people with disabilities are also designed with energy efficiency and durability in mind, helping to reduce equipment maintenance costs.
Completed projects: from residential buildings to public facilities
Lifts designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility are widely used in different types of buildings.
- Residential complexes. Property developers and condominium associations are increasingly installing inclusive lifts to provide convenient access for all residents. In new residential developments in Kyiv, such solutions are gradually becoming standard.
- Schools and kindergartens. Accessibility for children with additional needs is an essential requirement for modern educational facilities.
- Hospitals. Lifts with wider doors and accessible control panels make it easier for patients and medical staff to move between floors.
- Shopping and entertainment centres. Accessible lifts improve visitor comfort and make commercial properties more welcoming to a wider audience.
