If you’re attending OTAC Leeds next week, make sure you visit the stand from Terry Lifts to explore their range of accessibility solutions and experience a platform lift in action. ♿⬆️
Terry Lifts is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of platform lifts designed to improve accessibility in homes and public buildings. Their lifts are widely used to help wheelchair users and people with mobility difficulties move safely between levels where stairs would otherwise create a barrier.
Why you should visit Terry Lifts at OTAC Leeds
🔹 Try a platform lift for yourself
One of the highlights of the Terry Lifts stand is the chance to try a platform lift and see how it operates. Experiencing the lift first-hand can help occupational therapists better understand how the equipment works and how it might benefit their clients.
🔹 Understand when a platform lift is the right solution
Platform lifts can be an excellent option when ramps or stairlifts aren’t practical. The Terry team can explain:
Suitable property types
Space and installation requirements
Safety and usability features
When a platform lift may be preferable to other adaptations
🔹 Speak directly with accessibility experts
The team at Terry Lifts work closely with occupational therapists, housing professionals and contractors. OTAC gives you the opportunity to discuss real cases, ask technical questions and explore solutions for challenging environments.
🔹 Attend the Terry Lifts seminar
In addition to their exhibition stand, Terry Lifts will also be hosting a seminar at OTAC Leeds, offering valuable insights into lift solutions for accessible homes and buildings. It’s a great opportunity to expand your knowledge and hear practical advice you can apply in your assessments.
Why it’s worth attending
Between the hands-on experience with a platform lift and the opportunity to attend the Terry Lifts seminar, visiting their stand at OTAC Leeds can help you better understand how lift solutions can support independence, accessibility, and safer living environments for your clients.

If you’re attending OTAC Leeds next week, make sure you stop by the stand from Stiltz Home Lifts to learn more about how their through-floor lifts can support safer, more accessible living at home. ♿🏠
Stiltz Home Lifts specialise in compact domestic lifts designed specifically for residential properties. Their lifts can often be installed without major structural work, making them an increasingly popular option when stairlifts are no longer suitable or when clients want to future-proof their home for long-term mobility needs.
Why OTs should visit the Stiltz stand
🔹 See the technology up close
OTAC events give you the chance to speak directly with the team at Stiltz Home Lifts, understand how their lifts work, and explore where they fit within the adaptation pathway. Seeing the solution in person helps when considering options for complex cases.
🔹 Explore alternatives to stairlifts
Many clients reach a stage where stairlifts are no longer appropriate. Stiltz lifts provide a safe, seated or standing alternative that allows people to move easily between floors while remaining in their own home.
🔹 Discuss real client cases
Bring your questions or challenging property layouts. The Stiltz team can talk through feasibility, space requirements, and installation considerations, helping you decide whether a home lift could work for your client.
🔹 Book OT assessment visits for your clients
One of the key reasons to connect with Stiltz Home Lifts at OTAC Leeds is the opportunity to arrange occupational therapist visits or assessments for your clients. Their team works closely with professionals to ensure the right solution is recommended based on individual needs and property suitability.
🔹 Support independence and long-term living at home
Home lifts can help clients remain in the homes they love, reducing the need for relocation or major building works while supporting independence, safety, and quality of life.
Why it’s worth the conversation
Meeting Stiltz Home Lifts at OTAC Leeds allows you to build relationships with the manufacturer, gain confidence in specifying lifts, and organise OT visits for clients who may benefit from a through-floor lift solution.
📍 If you’re attending OTAC Leeds next week, make sure Stiltz Home Lifts is on your list of stands to visit.

Attending OTAC Leeds next week is especially worthwhile if you want to hear the seminar from Enable Access, because it focuses on practical, fast-to-install access solutions that professionals can immediately apply in real housing adaptation cases. ♿
Here are the key reasons to attend specifically for Enable Access:
🔧 1. Learn about fast-track ramp solutions
Enable Access specialises in modular ramp systems and access solutions designed for quick installation.
At the seminar you’ll learn:
When a modular ramp is more appropriate than permanent building work
How to provide temporary or urgent access while waiting for major adaptations
Ways to deliver access solutions within different budgets
This is particularly valuable when working with hospital discharge cases or urgent mobility needs.
🏠 2. Discover flexible solutions for difficult properties
Many homes are difficult to adapt because of:
Steps and steep gradients
Narrow paths or limited outdoor space
Rental or temporary housing situations
Enable Access designs ramps that can be configured to suit complex layouts, meaning you can offer solutions where traditional construction might be slow or costly.
⚡ 3. Speed up the pathway from assessment to installation
A key theme of the seminar is reducing delays in providing access.
You’ll gain insights into:
Rapid assessment considerations
Selecting the right ramp configuration
Installation timelines and logistics
This can help professionals reduce waiting times for clients needing safe home access.
🤝 4. Speak directly with the manufacturer
Because Enable Access is presenting, you’ll be able to:
Ask detailed product questions
Discuss specific cases or property challenges
Understand technical specifications and installation requirements
Direct conversations with manufacturers often provide insights you won’t get from brochures.
🧠 5. Improve confidence when recommending ramps
Many occupational therapists and housing professionals see ramps as a simple solution, but specifying them correctly requires understanding:
Gradient regulations
Platform requirements
Safety and handrail options
The seminar will help you confidently assess and recommend the right access solution.
