Wheelchair Lifts for Easy Access to Deck, Porches, and Other Elevated Surfaces Wheelchair lifts allow wheelchair users to easily access elevated surfaces and overcome many daily living challenges. Wheelchair lifts, otherwise known as platform lifts, are designed to raise a wheelchair along with its occupant to overcome a step or similar vertical barrier. These devices allow access from the ground level up to a deck, porch, stage, platform, riser, and other elevated surfaces. There are basically two types of platform lifts -- vertical platform lifts and inclined platform lifts. Vertical platform lifts feature a platform that travels straight up and down, while inclined platform lifts carry a person in a wheelchair up a staircase. These lifts can be installed indoors or outdoors in residential and commercial buildings. Leading accessibility equipment dealers in New Jersey offers various models of wheelchair lifts from top manufacturers such as Savaria, Ascension and Harmar. Wheelchair lifts in New Jersey can be customized to meet your requirements. Popular Wheelchair Lift Models
