Anthony Robbins is working as a design consultant at Day Elevator & Lift. At DAY, we focus on eliminating several accessibility challenges you face at home and in your business premises, with the help of premium products such as wheelchair lifts. We have an extensive range of Inclined and vertical wheelchair platform lifts.
As per the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) code, vertical wheelchair lifts are intended for people who use wheelchairs and people with restricted mobility. A vertical wheelchair lift may be referred to as platform lift or wheelchair lift.
Today, you can overcome physical barriers using vertical wheelchair lifts, available in an extensive range, suitable for both residential and commercial use. You can choose vertical wheelchair lifts from different models including Stage, Enclosed, Shaftway and Opal. These vertical wheelchair lifts find use in residences, convention centers, auditoriums, institutions, public buildings and other locations where the elevators cannot accommodate a wheelchair.
The vertical wheelchair platform lift comes with a platform on which you can remain seated in the wheelchair as it is lifted. This type of lift, coming under the Enclosed category, is practical for outdoor use. The Stage model with platform can be used to climb into a vehicle, or on a stage for lifting up to shorter heights. The platform enclosed Opal model with high sidewalls is an extremely popular vertical wheelchair lift without a ceiling enclosure. The Shaftway model fits within the walls whether used as indoor or outdoor application.
The short rise vertical wheelchair lifts are most commonly powered by hydraulic system or electricity. Folding or flip-down seating vertical wheelchair lifts can be easily installed. These vertical wheelchairs offer great benefit to those who are physically challenged. As compared to hydraulic wheelchair lift, the vertical wheelchair lift is less costly and easy to maintain. The electric wheelchair lift is equipped with emergency backup battery system to be used when there is shortage of power.
Most of the existing buildings in the United States are expected to install these lifts to follow the ordinance as per the Disability Discrimination Act. To fulfill this act, manufacturers in the USA have developed a variety of vertical wheelchair lifts to help physically disabled individuals to negotiate stairways effectively.
