Vertical Wheelchair Lifts – The vertical wheelchair lift is a platform that brings a wheelchair user from one floor to the next via a platform that moves vertically. Since the platform goes straight up or down, the lift is not dependent on any wall or staircase. The only part of the home that needs to be configured for the wheelchair lift is the landing platform. Each landing site needs to be able to accommodate the wheelchair platform, so that the wheelchair user can easily board and de-board the lift. Therefore, before your vertical lift can be installed, you must prepare the landing zones on each floor. If there are railings or walls that separate the landing from the moving platform, remove them. You can do this way before your vertical wheelchair lift arrives. Once the lift arrives, the system can be installed on site. The parts will be brought in and put together in the space allotted. Again, since the lift will not rely on any home features for support or stability, installation is really quite simple.
