Residential Vertical Platform Lifts That Rise to the Occasion for Homeowners in Rapid River, MI

Woman in wheelchair using a platform lift on a porch.If you use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, you already know how challenging it can be to get from ground level to a higher point and vice versa if the only access is a flight of stairs. But when you have to face that elevation change every time you enter and exit your home, what might otherwise have been an occasional inconvenience becomes a recurring problem.

Residential vertical platform lifts are one way to circumvent this issue. These devices provide a safe and reliable means to access a raised front porch or second-floor deck. The open-air platform works like an elevator, ascending and descending within a shaft. Simply lower the gate, roll into the enclosure, raise the gate, and you’re ready to be transported to your destination. The advantages of a residential vertical platform lift over a ramp are that it requires much less space and is perfect for those without the arm strength to wheel a chair up an incline.

But whom can homeowners in Rapid River, Michigan, turn to if they want a wheelchair lift installed at their residence? The Barrier Free Store is here to help. As a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) serving communities throughout the Upper Peninsula, we have the products and expertise you can rely on for all your accessibility needs.

“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!”
