Vertical and Inclined Wheelchair Lifts

21 March 2011

Vertical and inclined lifts are specially made for the elderly and the physically impaired individuals. These lifts can be used for residential as well as for commercial purposes. Many times it becomes very difficult for people to move about in their houses and buildings that do not have a proper ramp or elevator facility. In the case of houses, an elevator is not a practical solution considering the restriction in space and the cost involved. Inclined wheelchair lifts are the perfect solution for such circumstances. These chairs are suited for straight and curved stairways and can be wall or tower mounted.

Vertical wheelchair lifts, also called as platform lifts, are preferred more as they offer many benefits. They are available in flip down and folding models and are very easy to install. As against inclined lifts, the vertical lift has a platform on which the person can position the wheelchair and remain seated as he is lifted up or down. These chair lifts have safety features such as under-platform sensors, handrail, emergency stop switch, anti-slip flooring and more.

These lifts can bed used almost everywhere including houses and commercial places. Some of them can also be used for entering and exiting vehicles. They offer you a good value for your money for they are durable and safe.
