Ramps do not fit? For every inch that must go, we need a foot long. When a ramp is too long, we offer a platform or porch lift.
A platform or porch elevator is installed next to a permanent platform and moves vertically between two levels. These units are compact and rugged enough to lift people and wheelchairs to heights of up to 12′. They are perfect for narrow places. It’s like an elevator for a person who can lift a wheelchair with an occupant and/or assistant.
If you are not sure what type of lift will work for your situation, please call us. We are more than happy to consult with you and recommend what best suits your home, your needs and your price.
