platform lifts

Ricky Lim asked:


With the use of a vertical wheelchair lift, anyone with physical disabilities can overcome obstacles and barriers. The purpose is for mobility restriction of people with disabilities. It is sometimes called a wheelchair lift or just a platform lift.

Nowadays, the usage of wheelchair lifts can be done in extensive range since it can already be used in both commercial and residential areas. A buyer can make his or her choice at any brand models of Opal, Shaftway, Enchlose, and Stage when shopping for a vertical wheelchair lift.

Stair Lifts are seen to be used by handicapped or physically disabled people in locations like public buildings, institutions, auditoriums, convention centers and residences. It usually comes with a platform where the user can remain seated on it while being lifted.

It is mainly used for outdoor purposes. However, the vertical wheelchair lift that can be used to climb a vehicle or stage has a platform that is designed for shorter heights. Those that have high sidewalls are more popular models since it doesn’t have a ceiling enclosure. With high sidewalls it can fit either as outdoor or an indoor application.

There are some vertical wheelchair lifts that are powered with electricity or hydraulic systems where a flip-down or folding seating function can easily be installed. However, those powered with electricity are very expensive. It would be much more ideal to get models that are easy to maintain and much cheaper in cost.

Nevertheless, most models may come with back up battery systems when purchased so that the users can use them in case of a power outage.

Recently many buildings in the United States have been installing vertical wheelchair lifts. This is not just to follow the ordinance of their government in regards to the Disability Discrimination Act but also to help disabled individuals to have the convenience on their mobility effectively.

Robert asked:


Vertical platform lifts are primarily used by individuals who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters. They are used to transport a mobility device and its rider up and down the stairs. They are often found in residential settings, but many businesses also use them. This includes places like churches and schools.

A vertical platform lift is designed to support the weight of a mobility device, such as a mobility scooter, and its rider. Most do not support less than 500 pounds and many can support as much as 750 pounds. In many cases a 2 people will ride the vertical platform lift at one time. This is common among husbands and wives, as well as caregivers. Some models are able to travel distances up to 12 feet.

Since most vertical platform lifts are intended for outside use they are water resistant and weather proof. Many also feature a battery backup to make sure that even if the power goes out that the device can still be used. If you intend to install the vertical platform lift in a public area or if you are worried about young children playing on it, it is a good idea to invest in a keyed lock. Most distributors can outfit the porch lifts with locks if they do not already come with one. They are controlled by use of either a set of call buttons or a remote control.

Vertical platform lifts are used by many millions of people. They are like having your own personal elevator and can also be used to transport goods up and down the stairs.
