Garaventa Lift is an international corporate group for accessibility solutions — lifts, stairlifts, platform lifts and wheelchair lifts — whose roots reach back to 1928 in the Swiss Alps, where Karl Garaventa built his very first of many cable cars. From this pioneering achievement in transportation technology, an international corporate group developed that today is present in America, Asia, Europe and Oceania as a reliable, safe and innovative provider of accessibility products. The corporate philosophy is unambiguous: Garaventa Lift works to guarantee accessibility and mobility for all people and to remove architectural barriers for millions of persons worldwide. The European distribution location is Lainate (Italy). The company has over three decades of experience in developing inclined platform systems for wheelchair users and counts tens of thousands of installations in public buildings and private residences worldwide.

Product categories: inclined platform wheelchair lifts (on straight, curved and spiral staircases, also across flat landings), vertical platform wheelchair lifts, stairlifts (Seatlift/Stairlift), residential lifts for dwellings (Home Elevator), panoramic glass lifts (Panoramic Glass Home Elevator — Savaria Vuelift, 360-degree view). Signature products: ARTIRA (inclined platform lift, fitting existing staircases without major renovation; suitable for heritage buildings, schools, churches, restaurants), XPRESS II (cost-effective, for short vertical distances on two rails), OPAL Genesis (vertical platform lift for stages and verandas). Wide range of colour and surface options for design integration.
