The Company Escanaba, MI, Homeowners Can Turn to for Residential Vertical Platform Lifts
For homeowners who use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, curbs can be dangerous to navigate and steps can be unsurmountable. Ramps help, of course, but they become ungainly and impractical for heights of more than four or five feet. If you or a loved one can no longer safely access elevated exterior entryways, there are options other than moving into an assisted care facility. The Barrier Free Store can install a vertical platform lift at your home in Escanaba, Michigan. These elevator-like devices provide safe and reliable roll-in transportation for elevation changes of up to 14 feet. Whether from driveway to raised deck, floor to floor, or patio to balcony, our vertical platform lifts—also called wheelchair lifts—will get you to where you need to go without the need to transfer from one mobility aid to another.
Wheelchair Lifts Customized for Your Needs
When you reach out to the Barrier Free Store for a home modification, your project will start with a complimentary consultation. One of our mobility specialists will schedule a time to inspect your residence, assess your specific mobility needs, and review the features and options available for your wheelchair lift. Our residential VPLs boast:
- Lifting capacities of up to 750 pounds
- Easy-to-use pressure-controlled rocker switches
- Automatic self-lowering ramps that fold up after entry to create a safety barrier
- Emergency shutdown that stops the lift if an object is detected below the platform
- A backup battery system on lifts above 10 feet for continued operation even in the event of a power outage
All of our wheelchair lifts come with a two-year limited warranty. What’s more, in many cases our highly skilled technicians can complete the installation in just one day and with minimal disruption to your home.
