When surrounding space is limited or when higher rises are present, a vertical platform lift is the ideal home access solution for challenging porches, decks, or other raised entries. Modular ramps require significantly more space, as ADA regulations state that one foot of ramp is needed for every inch of rise. For example, deck stairs with eight steps would require eight feet of ramp to be compliant. A vertical platform lift is often more aesthetically pleasing than aluminum modular ramps. According to the CDC, 12.2% of American adults have mobility disabilities that lead to serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. When you need stair lifts, reach out to our team today!

All stair lift manufacturers have mandatory safety requirements built into their products. The stair lifts are equipped with chairs that feature armrests and safety belts to keep the occupant securely and comfortably in place. Multiple safety stop sensors are in place to ensure that the stair lift stops if anything gets stuck in the tracks or underneath the chair.
The stairs can still be used under normal circumstances. There will be a small amount of track for the stair lifts at the side of the stairs, allowing for easy navigation. The stair lift chair, including the seat, handrails, and footplate, will all fold up to create more space for regular use of the stairs. A person should have no problem walking up or down the stairs, but you may need to work around the stair lifts if you're carrying larger items.

A power reclining lift chair offers the comfort and style of a typical reclining sofa chair while also assisting elderly or physically challenged individuals in getting into and out of the chair with a simple push of a button. A typical recliner, on the other hand, may only be adjusted using a manual handle and requires body strength to push the back of the chair into a reclined position. Depending on the position you choose, a power reclining lift chair usually offers more recline options than a standard recliner. Stair lifts also provide similar assistance for those needing help navigating stairs.
Probably the most important factor to consider is what positions you need the chair to move to. Will you be spending a lot of time in the chair? Will you be sleeping in it? If the answer is yes, you would likely be more comfortable with a true infinite position or zero gravity chair. If not, a more basic 2 or 3 position chair might be a better choice. Other factors to consider include the type of fabric, the size and weight of the user, and available options. Choosing leather or fabric may depend on whether a person sweats a lot or may be incontinent. When you need stair lifts, reach out to our team today!

A 3-wheel scooter allows for turns in tighter spaces. Most models have anti-tip wheels to enhance safety and stability.

Several factors contribute to the length of a charge, including the weight of the user, the terrain being traveled on, the speed of travel, and the age of the batteries. According to our experts, a typical charge under normal conditions should allow a user to travel anywhere from six miles to over 30 miles, depending on the model.
