Wheel Chair Lifts Provide Greater Mobility and Independence

from:

A wheel chair lift can be pivotal in your ability to get out,
move around, and enjoy life. There are handicap wheel chair lift
models that help you ascend stairs, enter vehicles, transport
your mobility chair, swim in a pool, navigate a multi-level
building, and even help you get out of a comfortable chair.

Stair Lifts: Built and installed to fit the stairway in
your home, a stair lift provides a smooth, powered ride up and
down stairs in a standing/perching or seated position, depending
on the model and the requirements of the user. Standing stair
lifts are preferred if bending at the hips is challenging.
Standing lifts have a small high seat with a back and arms in
which to lean as you are carried up and down the stairs. Seated
stair lifts feature seat, back, armrests and footrests that can
be adjusted to ensure a safe, comfortable fit.

Building Lifts: More lifts are being installed in homes,
churches, transit stations, shopping centers, offices and in
other commercial space to allow disabled people greater access.
Vertical elevating systems allow mobility chair users to make
their way over stairways, landings, stages and other elevated
surfaces that will not accommodate wheeled traffic.

Vehicle Lifts: Handicap wheel chair lifts come in a
variety of sizes and models, and can be easily installed in
vans, cars, buses and trucks. Some lifts are designed for
wheelchair transport only. Other models are specifically
developed to accommodate the wheelchair with the user sitting in
it. Powered ramps are a form of vehicle lift and can be
installed in a van to allow the wheel chair user to enter and
ride comfortably (with appropriate chair tie-downs and seat
belts). Vehicle lifts are typically electronically operated so
one person can operate it without assistance.

Chair Lifts: If you are not confined to a wheelchair but
experience difficulty standing up after sitting for a while, you
may want to consider purchasing a handicap wheel chair lift that
attaches to your favorite living room chair. Then when you are
ready to stand up, the lift elevates you off the chair cushion
to an upright position.
