Residential Vertical Platform Lifts for Homeowners in Marquette, MI

A vertical platform lift installed next to a flight of outdoor stairs.

If you use a mobility aid such as a scooter or wheelchair, navigating elevation changes can be challenging at best and insurmountable at worse. Curb cuts and ramps can provide access to sidewalks, raised porches, and step-up entrances, but for climbs that are more than a few feet, ramps become ungainly. Thankfully, for homeowners in Marquette, Michigan, and neighboring communities throughout the Upper Peninsula, there is an alternative. At the Barrier Free Store, we can install a residential vertical platform lift that will provide safe and reliable transportation from ground level to elevations of up to 14 feet. Also known as wheelchair lifts or porch lifts, these elevator-like devices offer roll-in access to wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility devices. And thanks to their compact design, residential lifts have a minimal footprint, so they won’t significantly impact driveway access or cover a large swath of your front yard the way a ramp would.

“My dad’s strength deteriorated over a short period of time due to medicines he needed to take. Your company provided prompt service. We most appreciated the person who had the foresight to have a stair lift in stock because my dad basically needed an emergency installation for his safety and mine, so we could safely get upstairs. Thank you to everyone for your kindness and quick assistance at a difficult time. My dad loves the lift!”
