Vertical platform lifts transport people and/or items in an upward straight direction. It is simple and safe. Travel distances will vary.

Travel distances are also tied to the model of the wheelchair lift. Any wheelchair or platform lift that travels beyond six feet must be enclosed. This means walls must surround the moving platform on all sides. A full-height door must be installed at the lower landing. The door must be fully level with the enclosed wheelchair lift. A door or a gate with latching safety features must also be present at the upper level. The doors must be equipped with interlocks to keep doors from opening when the wheelchair lift is not on the landing level.

The travel distance factors into all of the above. Check out the travel distances and safety features included on all Apex wheelchair lifts.
