Portable Step Lift for Mobile Homes—No Ramp Needed

When your home’s entrance opens directly onto a public footpath, building a permanent ramp can be impossible. This was the case for one of our customers in the south of England. Without a safe way to navigate the steep steps outside his mobile home, he found himself isolated—missing important hospital visits and losing independence.

The solution? A portable step lift for mobile homes—Motorstep.

The Motorstep lift positioned at the mobile home entrance, providing access without blocking the public footpath.

Adapting the Entrance to Fit a Portable Step Lift for Mobile Homes

The three steps leading from the customer’s mobile home opened directly onto a public walkway. This meant:

• Ramps couldn’t be installed without violating public space regulations

• Independence was lost, with the user unable to attend doctor’s appointments or social events

• No permanent changes could be made that obstructed pedestrian access

How a Simple Step Modification Made Space for a Lift

Working with a local builder, the three smaller steps were converted into a single, larger step—creating a solid landing for the Motorstep. This minor adjustment allowed for:

• A safe and stable platform

• Minimal construction

• No planning permission needed

The Motorstep in Action

When not in use, the Motorstep is stored safely indoors. When needed, it’s simply wheeled outside and positioned at the entrance.

• Setup is quick—taking just moments

• Operation is easy—a button gently lifts the user to the doorway

• Public space stays clear, making it completely regulation-friendly
