What Is the Sigma Platform Lift?
Sigma is a premium vertical wheelchair platform lift built for taller and more demanding installations than a standard step lift. It lifts up to 8,000mm and can serve up to 4 stops on any of its 4 sides, so it works across multiple floor levels rather than a single level change.
Manufactured by Lehner Lifttechnik (Germany) and supplied and installed in the UAE by Flex Access, Sigma is available as an open platform, an enclosed cabin, or a fully enclosed shaft lift, and is type-examined to the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN 81-41, the safety standard specific to platform lifts.
Key Advantages
Lifts up to 8 meters
Reaches heights standard platform lifts can't, covering multi-story homes and taller commercial installations.
Up to 4 stops
Serves multiple floor levels on any of its 4 sides, working more like a small elevator than a single-level lift.
EN 81-41 certified
Type-examined to the EU Machinery Directive and the specific safety standard for platform lifts.
Built for UAE climate
Rated from +45°C to -15°C with weatherproof aluminium construction for outdoor exposure.
Three configurations
Open platform, enclosed cabin, or full shaft lift, specified to match the building's design brief.
Full color customization
Available in any RAL color to match the building facade, not limited to a fixed finish.
One Lift, Three Ways to Specify It
Sigma isn't a single fixed product. It can be specified as an open platform for a compact footprint, an enclosed cabin for a more finished, elevator-like feel, or a fully enclosed shaft lift where the building calls for a closed structure.
- Slim drive tower with a compact footprint
- Entry and exit on any of the platform's 4 sides
- Integrated ramp for a smooth, step-free transition onto the platform
- Available in any RAL color, standard finish RAL 9022

Certified Safety, Not a Marketing Claim
Sigma is type-examined to the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN 81-41, the safety standard written specifically for platform lifts rather than general lifting equipment. Every unit ships with power backup as standard, so a grid interruption doesn't leave someone stranded mid-lift.
- Emergency power supply included as standard on every unit
- Platform lighting for visibility during evening and low-light use
- Optional safety curtain up to 1.8 meters for added enclosure
- Ergonomic controls integrated into the handrail, plus optional wireless outdoor control
Built for Outdoor UAE Conditions
Sigma's structure is aluminium, chosen for corrosion resistance and lighter weight rather than steel. Combined with a weatherproof build, it's rated from +45°C down to -15°C, which covers the UAE's outdoor temperature range without special adaptation.
This makes Sigma a realistic outdoor option for entrances, courtyards, and open commercial spaces where a lift is exposed to sun and heat year round, not only for climate-controlled indoor installations.
Key Applications
Multi-story villas and homes
Up to 4 stops means Sigma can serve several floors in a single home, not just one level change.
Public buildings and transit facilities
Certified, high-capacity access for buildings with heavier daily use and stricter compliance requirements.
Commercial and hospitality developments
Enclosed cabin and full RAL color options let Sigma double as a design feature in hotel and retail lobbies.
Retrofit projects needing more than a step lift
Where a full elevator shaft isn't feasible but the height difference exceeds what EasyLift or HDN can cover.
Sigma Frequently Asked Questions
How tall a level change can Sigma cover?
Sigma covers lifting heights from 650mm up to 8,000mm, making it suitable for multi-story buildings, not just a single step or level change.
Can Sigma stop at more than two floors?
Yes. Sigma supports up to 4 stops, with entry and exit possible on any of the platform's 4 sides.
What configurations is Sigma available in?
Three: an open platform, an enclosed cabin, or a fully enclosed shaft lift, chosen based on the building's design and compliance needs.
Is Sigma safe to install outdoors in the UAE?
Yes. It's built with weatherproof aluminium components and rated from +45°C to -15°C, well within the UAE's outdoor temperature range.
What happens if there's a power cut during use?

Is Sigma available in Abu Dhabi and Dubai?
Yes. Flex Access supplies and installs Sigma across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the wider UAE.
