Vertical platform lifts are a safe and convenient accessibility solution for an individual confined to a wheelchair, providing access to a raised deck, porch, or floor level within your home. This type of platform lift is for those persons experiencing difficulty transferring from their wheelchair to a stair lift seat, carrying the individual while seated in the wheelchair or scooter. The vertical platform lift is one of a variety of assistive technology tools available to those bound to a wheelchair or scooter. Vertical and inclined platform wheelchair lifts make it possible for a person to continue living a normal life in the comfort of their own home.

How Do Stair Lifts Work?
Stair lifts travel on tracks entirely supported on the treads of the stair. Powered from rechargeable batteries and direct current, the lift is able to continue functioning during a power outage. When not in use, the stair lift folds up to a narrow profile, opening up the stairway.
