Height-Adjustable Overhead Cabinet
Ergonomic cabinets designed for people with reduced mobility
Diagonal is a special lift system that makes kitchen upper cabinets height adjustable and disability friendly. The lift system has a unique feature as it not only can lower the cabinet to a height which is accessible to seated users, but it can also move the cabinet forward from the wall moving it closer to the user. This way the Diagonal lift system makes the content of the upper wall cabinets available to all.
The cabinets are mounted on the Diagonal lift system which adjusts the height electrically via a small control switch. The height adjustment range is 43 cm in height and 18 cm horizontally. The diagonal stroke (downwards and towards the user) makes a big difference particularly for seated users as the cabinet contents become within easy reach.
Handicap friendly, height-adjustable upper wall cabinets
With the lift system kitchen cabinets can move 43 cm up and down and 18 cm horizontally from the wall towards the user. It is adjusted electrically using a small control switch which can be integrated into the kitchen table.
The cupboards are mounted on the lift system frame which is only 11.5 cm deep. When the cabinets are mounted, the lift system is not visible, and the kitchen looks like a completely normal kitchen. But hidden behind the elegant surface lies intelligent solutions making seniors and handicapped more self-reliant in their daily lives.
Safety stop plate
As the cabinets can run up and down, there is also a risk that something might get crushed. To prevent this, you can mount a safety stop plate. When the plate meets resistance, it will automatically stop and relieve the pressure a little allowing you to remove the object that has gotten in the way. The Diagonal lift system meets – or exceeds – the relevant standards for assistive devices for people with disability. That guarantees that safety and reliability are top notch.
