What Is a Wheelchair Lift?
A wheelchair lift is a platform that can lift a wheelchair vertically. Systems designed for short lifts of a few feet typically have an open platform with handrails, while those for higher lifts may be partially or fully enclosed to keep the user safe and secure on the platform.
Several designs are available for different applications, from portable lifts for travel to permanently mounted lifts for at-home accessibility.

Types of Wheelchair Elevators & Lifts
There are a few basic types of wheelchair lifts for various applications. At Signature Elevators & Accessible Design, we offer these types of wheelchair and platform lifts:
Portable Wheelchair Lifts
Designed to lift a wheelchair a few feet, portable wheelchair lifts can be used indoors or outdoors, and they’re ideal for accessing porches, decks, or split-level layouts like raised or attached garages.
Indoor Wheelchair Lifts
Designed to lift a wheelchair from one floor of a home to another, interior wheelchair lifts are usually partly enclosed for safety, and they lift vertically.
Inclined Platform Lifts
An alternative to a vertical lift, an inclined platform lift follows the angle of a set of stairs, lifting the wheelchair while keeping the platform level and parallel to the floor. It serves the same function as a chair lift without the need to get out of the wheelchair.
Outdoor Platform Lifts
With a fully enclosed design, an exterior platform lift allows a wheelchair user easy access from one floor to another without the extensive construction an elevator requires. It’s mounted permanently to the outside of the home.

Which Home Wheelchair Lift Is Right for You?
Your choice of lift will depend on the layout of your home and what areas you need to access. A portable lift may be ideal for traveling or occasional use on a deck or a porch, but a permanently mounted exterior lift may be a better choice.
If you need to access the second floor and have plenty of space inside, an interior lift or an inclined platform lift may work. If space is limited inside, an exterior platform lift may be best.

Consider a Stairlift for Your Home
Stairlifts offer accessibility and convenience, providing a straightforward solution to conquer stairs effortlessly. Designed with simplicity, these devices are crafted to make life easier for anyone facing mobility challenges.
Stairlifts are mechanical chairs designed to carry people up and down stairs with ease. Consisting of a comfortable seat or platform attached to a rail, they glide smoothly along the staircase’s track, eliminating the need for strenuous climbing or descending.
Stairlifts empower people to maintain independence by granting access to different levels of their homes. Stairlifts are customizable, fitting seamlessly into various staircase configurations, providing a tailored solution for every need.
Operating a stairlift is a breeze. Users simply sit in the secure seat, fasten the seatbelt, and with a gentle push of a button, the lift moves along the track. Using a quiet and efficient motor, the operation is smooth, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride.
