Ascension® Portable Wheelchair Lifts
Portable Wheelchair Lifts for Safe, Attractive and Quiet Access to Stages and Platforms
Provide safe, and reliable wheelchair access to stages, platforms, and elevated performance areas with the Ascension® Portable Wheelchair Lift. Designed for venues where accessibility, flexibility, and aesthetics are essential, these portable lifts offer a practical alternative to permanent ramps and fixed platform lifts.
SICO South Pacific is the exclusive distributor of Ascension® Portable Wheelchair Lifts throughout Australia and New Zealand. With successful installations across schools, universities, performing arts centres, convention centres, churches, theatres, and public venues, our team can help you identify the ideal accessibility solution for your facility.
Easy Stage Access
Whether providing wheelchair access for performers, presenters, students, graduates, or event guests, the Ascension® Portable Wheelchair Lift delivers a simple and professional accessibility solution. Floor-level entry and exit eliminate the need for lengthy access ramps, preserving valuable floor space while maintaining a clean and attractive venue appearance.
This makes the lift particularly well suited to heritage buildings, historic venues, multipurpose halls, and performance spaces where permanent structural modifications may be impractical, undesirable, or restricted.
Delivered Ready to Roll
Every Ascension® Portable Wheelchair Lift arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use. The portable design allows the unit to be easily wheeled from storage into position and set up by a single operator in as little as 10 minutes.
Quiet, smooth operation ensures minimal disruption during performances, ceremonies, graduations, assemblies, and live events. Simply position the lift, connect to a standard power outlet, and it’s ready to provide safe and convenient access.
Two Models to Suit Your Venue
Choose from two versatile lift models designed to accommodate different stage heights, venue layouts, and accessibility requirements. Whether you’re looking for a portable stage lift for a school auditorium, theatre, conference centre, church, or community venue, there is an Ascension® solution to meet your needs.
Model 1 - Ascension Protégé
The portable Protégé is ideal for quick event turnarounds. One person can move it and set it up with ease in a few minutes. Use it in multiple locations for a variety of events… all in the same day. Meet the challenge of physical barriers in historic venue projects. Keep visual lines simple with the low profile and ample window area of the Protégé. The weight of the lift rests on the existing floor instead of being anchored to walls, and it needs no installation “pit” or ramp.
Model 2 - Ascension Virtuoso
The Ascension Virtuoso Vertical Platform Lift is unmatched for safe, attractive, and quiet wheelchair access. Key features include full rigid safety skirting, an electro-hydraulic drive train, and a sleek, low profile. This lift is perfect for locations where image counts, such as stages and orchestra pits. The Virtuoso’s unique rigid safety skirt completely surrounds and protects the area under the lift platform at all times. The strength of the skirt comes from its PVC slats, which form a tough barrier that keeps people and objects from interfering with the lift.
