The tag platform_lift:portable=* is used to indicate if a platform lift is portable or not. Portable means that the platform lift can be moved around by a person. Portable platform lifts are usually found at railway platforms to help wheelchair users on- and off board trains.

Usage

Add platform_lift:portable=* to an element tagged with platform lift=*.

If platform_lift=* is tagged on highway=steps then platform_lift:portable=no is assumed.

Example
