Platform lifts are used to elevate a wheelchair user across height differences, like steps, stairs or other vertical barriers.

This tag is used to describe two kinds of platform lifts:

  • stair lifts - They are installed on or nearby stairs and help wheelchair users to overcome them.
  • portable lifts - They are moveable and can be found at railway platforms to help wheelchair users on- and off board vehicles.



Usage

As a stair lift

Add the key platform_lift=* to the way with highway=steps with one of the following values: yes/no/inclined/vertical. In this case platform_lift:portable=no is implied.

As a portable lift

Add the Key platform_lift=* and platform_lift:portable=yes to the element for example a public transport platform tagged with public_transport=platform.

Standalone

If the platform lift is not attached to any stairs or steps, treat the platform lift as highway=elevator and indicate its restrictions and limitations by adding wheelchair=designated and capacity=1.
