Vertical and Inclined Platform Lift
Differences and Benefits
2

• People using a wheelchair to move and also those
  having mobility issues due to age or disability
  can be benefitted a lot by different kinds of
  lifts, elevators, etc.
• One of the most versatile names in terms of lifts
  is the platform lift that is available in
  different types and the two very popular names
  are vertical platform lifts and inclined platform
  lifts.
• Here in this PPT, we will have a look at these
  two names and as to how they become so useful for
  those looking to use them.

WHAT IS A VERTICAL PLATFORM LIFT?

• In a majority of cases, this one is also given
  the name of porch or deck lift and they are
  mostly like mini-elevators and ideal for those
  who spend most of their time of the day on a
  wheelchair. This version of lifts gives them the
  real freedom and one more USP is that it
  functions using the most basic lift mechanism
  available in the markets.
• The drive mechanism is installed there that pulls
  the lift up and leaves it down and with this
  mechanism, it can be used both internally as well
  as in the outdoors. Vertical platform lift can be
  installed anywhere including an open platform or
  a ramp and depending upon the location, you can
  get necessary customisations done.

WHAT IS AN INCLINED PLATFORM LIFT?

• Vertical platform lifts can be installed in
  different places, but the one discussed here,
  i.e. inclined platform lifts are a bit different.
  There are residential as well as commercial
  inclined platform lifts that transport humans as
  well as cargo upstairs and downstairs.
• The main difference between this one and the one
  discussed above is that in this version, the
  person continues to sit on his/her wheelchair as
  compared to sitting on a swivel seat. Before
  getting inclined platform lift installed, there
  is one thing to be very careful about that the
  type of lift can only accommodate manfully driven
  wheelchairs.

WHO BENEFITS THE MOST FROM PLATFORM LIFTS?

• Certainly, people using a wheelchair get
  benefitted the most and then, people having any
  kind of mobility issue can use these lifts.
• People with disability, elder people and people
  facing different health conditions are the best
  beneficiaries of these vertical and inclined
  platform lifts.
