General Public access is of great social benefit. However, despite this most countries are in this area behind on the UK. In the United Kingdom for example there has been since 1995 legislation (Disability Discrimination Act) requiring access for everybody to public buildings. This form of access should however be seen, not as an obligation, but more as a challenge. This applies equally to government agencies and to private sector operators. By making or retaining public buildings accessible the government ensures after all that culture (museums) and politics (ministries) are available, even to less mobile people. Or how about the huge market potential that this group has to offer the commercial sector. Accessibility of your store or business will ensure that this group spends money with you rather than with your neighbours. In order to provide everybody with freedom of movement at every level ThyssenKrupp has developed a number of plateau and platform lifts. These solutions can be rapidly applied, both in existing buildings and in new construction projects.
