November 2019 – The Invisible Step Lift by Oyster Mayfair is in the news again in a new article published by THIIS Magazine http://thiis.co.uk/ online Newsroom.
Excerpt from the article:
Following the launch of its Invisible Step Lift just over a year ago, Oyster Mayfair has announced a new special-order version of its vertical travel (model V) low-rise transfer lift.
Designed to be a discreet access solution for wheelchair users, the Invisible Step Lift is a low rise transfer lift stored underground which aims to seamlessly blend in with its surroundings.
Marketed as a solution for when traditional access ramps may not be viable or desired, the adaptation can be used indoor and outdoor and is controlled via remote control. With a maximum vertical travel height of 800mm on its model V, the new special-order option can now extend to 1000mm, providing wheelchair users with a maximum elevation of up to 1 metre between two levels.
Neal Boswell, Marketing Manager for Oyster Mayfair and a part-time wheelchair user himself, told THIIS: “Whilst an additional height variation between two-floor levels of 200mm (7.87 inches) does not sound like a giant step for mankind, it is a significant difference in height and an obstacle for wheelchair users.”
September 2019 – New Brochures launched- Oyster Mayfair’s range of invisible low rise transfer lifts makes trade news for mobility shops in an online news story published by THIIS magazine.
Excerpts from the above article: Offering an alternative solution to the common ramp for wheelchair users, Oyster Mayfair entered the mobility market towards the backend of 2018 with its discreet, low-rise transfer lift models, the V, VH and the SR.
Neal Boswell, Oyster Mayfair’s Marketing Manager, told THIIS: “The brochures are not just to provide more detailed technical information to potential customers and occupational therapists but to also explain, in detail, an interesting product range that mobility stores can offer wheelchair users.”
Other news for the mobility trade can be found on the THIIS website at: http://thiis.co.uk

See the online version of the magazine below and just scroll across to pages 6 & 7 to read the story which includes interview comments by Neal Boswell the Marketing Manager at Oyster Mayfair Ltd.
New model launched: A third model has been added to the range of Invisible Step Lifts by Oyster Mayfair. The new SR (Short Rise) model is capable of providing wheelchair access over a single step up to a height of 220 mm. Meanwhile the maximum travel height on models V and VH has been increased to 800 mm. The decision to launch this new model was inspired by a specific enquiry that Oyster Mayfair Ltd received from a mobility store that had seen an article about the Invisible Step Lift by Oyster Mayfair published in the THIIS Trade Magazine which is available online at: https://thiis.co.uk/
An expanded version of the above story for the mobility trade has been published online in the Supplier News section of THIIS on 7th Jan 2019:
