For people who cannot use stairs, both ramps and lifts can help. The right choice depends on the height to climb, available space and who uses the building. Here is a practical comparison.
Comparison
| Point | Ramp | Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Small rises | One or more floors |
| Space | Needs a long, gentle slope | Needs a shaft |
| Effort | Can be tiring over distance | Effortless |
| Power cuts | Always usable | Needs backup or rescue |
| Cost | Often lower for small rises | Higher |
When you need both
Many buildings provide a ramp at the entrance and a lift between floors. Accessibility is about complete routes, from the gate to every floor.
