If you or a loved one lives in a multi-story home and has limited mobility, then you know that stairs can cause complications when it comes to mobility. However, innovative technology has made it so homeowners with limited mobility don’t have to relocate to enjoy independence in the comfort of their homes.
Platform lifts are an ideal option for individuals with limited mobility who utilize wheelchairs on a daily basis. Installed with minimal interruption to your daily life, a platform lift can solve home mobility issues and increase your freedom indoors. But if you’re in the market for a platform lift then you need to first decide if you want to purchase a vertical platform lift or an inclined platform lift.
- Vertical Platform Lift
Vertical platform lifts function just as they sound, with a platform that supports wheelchairs and travels vertically over barriers. With a simple push of a button, the platform secures itself and takes you to the next level–literally! With indoor and outdoor installation, you can enjoy traveling up and down multistory homes without compromising your safety.
- Inclined Platform Lift
Inclined platform lifts accommodate multi-story homes by using a platform that travels up and down your stairwell diagonally. Gliding over the stairs themselves, incline lifts function similarly to residential stairlifts. If your home doesn’t have enough room to accommodate a vertical platform lift then an incline lift may be the right choice for you.
