In the North-Eastern Administrative District, 32 lifting platforms are planned to be installed this year. They will be mounted in the entrances of apartment buildings where wheelchair users live, in accordance with previously submitted applications.

“Work has already begun on the installation and connection of seven platforms, including six inclined and one vertical. After the survey and design, the installation of lifts for people with disabilities will begin in another 25 entrances,” said the Deputy Head of the Department of Capital Repairs of the City of Moscow

Evgeniy Adamov.

In Bibirevo, 10 platforms will be installed, in Otradnoye – five, in Lianozovo and Losinoostrovsky district – four each, in Yaroslavsky district – three, in Sviblovo and Babushkinsky district – two each, in Altufevsky district and Yuzhnoye Medvedkovo – one each.

With the installation of a lifting platform in the entrance hall, the life of a person with special needs, who is forced to spend entire days in an apartment, changes dramatically. It becomes possible to go outside without outside help, which means meeting with friends, working, attending various events. The lift also makes life much easier for families with children with disabilities. Trips to the doctor, to school, or just walks become accessible if the mother does not have to lift a heavy stroller up the stairs.

You can submit an application for installation of the platform on the mos.ru portal or on the website Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow in the section “Internet Reception”. Permanent registration in Moscow and the presence of a recommendation in the IPRA (individual rehabilitation and habilitation program) on the need for a wheelchair are required. According to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, neither a meeting nor a decision of the owners of the premises in an apartment building is required to install a lifting platform in the entrance.

The technical feasibility of installing a platform in an entrance is determined by interdepartmental commissions that have been created in each district of the capital. After this, the design stage begins, during which the type of platform is selected taking into account current GOSTs, regulations, building codes and rules. Projects are subject to mandatory state examination, which confirms the correctness of the technical solutions adopted.

“In entrances with spacious halls, vertical lifting platforms are most often installed, which are more convenient to use. They resemble mini-elevators and allow you to rise to a height of up to four meters. If there is not enough space or the free space is occupied, for example, by a concierge room or a stroller room, an inclined lift is installed. This design is mounted on the wall parallel to the stairs. It is compact and does not disturb the neighbors,” noted Evgeny Adamov.

When installing lifting platforms, other work is also carried out to create a barrier-free environment for people with limited mobility: ramps and handrails are installed at the entrance to the building, as well as doors with closers that a person in a wheelchair can open remotely. If technically possible, an additional entrance to the building is made, to which a ramp is brought. In addition, visual and dispatch control systems are installed. This not only ensures the safety of descent and ascent, but also prevents the platform from being used for other purposes.

From 2011 to 2024, the Department of Capital Repairs installed 2,128 lifting platforms for wheelchair users in all 12 districts of the capital.
