Product overview

About the Residential Platform Lift

The Residential Platform Lift is a space-efficient alternative to a long accessibility ramp for porches, decks, garages, and other changes in elevation. A user can roll onto the platform and travel vertically while safety systems monitor the platform and travel path.

Weather-resistant construction supports indoor or outdoor installation, while AC and battery-powered configurations, multiple platform layouts, gates, and landing controls allow the system to be planned around the home.
