Disability services
This is listed under specific services for disabled access alongside lifts and ramps. I'm wondering whether it would be chair lifts in English but it's only a guess as I can't find any translation of the term. I don't have a wider context as it's simply a list of services without text.
If anyone can shed any light on this I'd be most grateful.

wheelchair lift
I think that "chair lift" might be confusing with the term for ski resorts. Wheelchair lift or stair lift seems to be more frequently used.

disabled lifts
No podrien són eixa espècie d'ascensors que s'instal·len per facilitar l'accès a persones en cadira de rodes a edificis a què altrament no podrien accedir? No sé si disabled lifts seria la forma més correcta, però espere haver-te ajudat...

(access) step lifts
These are to get up a couple of steps and inside your own front door; they are similar on a smaller scale to (public access) platform lifts.
If not already on the list, they could be what is meant. Otherwise take your pick from those in the example sentence below which is taken from the web reference, and seems highly approriate here!
