In the MP range, the Mobi platform lift stands apart from the lifts: it is a hydraulic lifting unit with a speed of 0.15 m/s for buildings of two to six floors. What sets it apart from conventional platform lifts is an enclosed car with automatic doors, so it works like a lift. The passenger presses the floor button once and travels; there is no need to hold the button. The manufacturer makes two versions: Mobi for public buildings and Mobi HOME for private homes.

The rated load is stated to EN 81-2. The 1100 × 1400 mm car takes a person in a wheelchair with an attendant.
Where it is installed
The platform lift works indoors and outdoors. The car can have one entrance, two opposite or three, so it can be installed in a corner or between two rooms. The shaft is built in masonry or assembled from metal; according to the catalogue, the manufacturer has its own self-supporting structure, MP STRUCTURA, which is fixed to the wall and transfers no loads to the building. The pit needs to be 200 mm deep. For comparison: in the MP lift tables the smallest standard pit is 1024 mm. The power unit is immersed in oil, and the catalogue gives the operating noise level as below 50 dB.
Safety
The standard equipment of both versions includes the following safety features:
- a battery system that, on power failure, brings the car to the nearest floor and opens the doors;
- manual rescue using a button on the hydraulic power unit;
- a rupture valve in case the hydraulic circuit is damaged;
- mechanical stops in the pit and at the top of the shaft so that the car cannot move during maintenance, and two reset keys on the controller;
- overload detection with a light and sound signal;
- emergency car lighting, an alarm button and emergency communication;
- an out-of-service key switch on the landing call station, and a non-slip rubber floor.
On request, the platform lift is connected to remote monitoring. The car lighting has a timer and switches off when nobody is using the platform lift. The manufacturer equips certain models to the EN 81-70 accessibility standard.
