Independence matters to everyone, probably more to people with physical mobility issues. With wheelchair lifts, the elderly and the mobility impaired can move from floor to floor without having to leave the wheelchair. These devices overcome the difficulty of uncomfortable and difficult transfers and allow them to lead a free and independent life. Home wheelchair lifts are a feasible and economical option when it comes to helping wheelchair users enhance their independence in residences where elevators and wheelchair ramps cannot be installed.

Wheelchair Lifts in Various Models

Residential and commercial wheelchair lifts come in various models - inclined, vertical and portable. Advanced models of inclined platform lifts can negotiate staircases with curves, intermediate landings, multiple levels or changes in direction. There are inclined wheelchair lifts that can be securely installed using self-supporting stanchions or along a side wall. Residential wheelchair lifts are a great option in homes with limited space and can be set up without major changes to the structure.

Vertical platform lifts facilitate vertical transportation of the wheelchair user in both commercial and residential buildings. They come with a flexible design and can be set up both indoors and outdoors. They require no pit or machine room and premium models come with good loading capacity and a spacious ADA-compliant platform.

Portable wheelchair lifts, as the name implies, can be moved from place to place. They allow the wheelchair user to access elevated platforms and stages in public places such as schools, universities, churches, colleges, auditoriums and historic buildings. They work without electric power and are therefore an extremely reliable option.
