An Inclined Platform Lift is a mechanized platform that will carry you or your loved one, in a wheelchair up or down an existing stairway. These lifts run on a rail system that can either be installed on a stairway wall or on self supporting towers. There are sturdy and reliable models for both straight and curved stairways, indoors and out. Inclined platform lifts are popular choices for public buildings built prior to 1990, i.e., municipal buildings, schools and houses of worship.

We carry several lines of inclined platform lifts. If this is the answer to your accessibility quandary, one of them will be sure to meet your needs and requirements. Some of the most popular features and options are listed below. Keep in mind that the options, safety features and warranties vary based on intended use (commercial or residential) and manufacturer.
