Vertical Platform Lifts vs. Inclined Platform Lifts

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.
