A platform lift is a vertical platform that carries a wheelchair user, and sometimes a companion, between two levels. It is common for short height differences where a ramp is too long or a full lift is not practical.
Where platform lifts fit
- Entrances with a few steps.
- Split-level homes.
- Clinics, shops and public buildings.
