Vertical Porch Lifts
SILVER CROSS is not a wheelchair lift or porch lift manfacturer. Our free service compares wheelchair lift manufacturers and finds recycled or low priced new porch lifts. A porch lift is an exterior or interior platform wheelchair or scooter lift.
Key Questions
- Length of equipment being used?
- Weight and height of client?
- Lifting height of platform lift required?
- Raising of deck height to threshold height?
- Proximity of electric plug?
Key Points
- If client is self propelling wheelchair then concrete pad may need to be below grade to mount wheelchair lift.
- Side mounted porchlifts are difficult for wheelchairs with elevating leg rests, recliners, tilt and geri chairs.
- Porch may need to be raised to threshold height for ease of access by wheelchair.
- Dedicated plug is necessary since lift needs 14.2 Amps at start up.
Note: A porch lift requires about 5' x 5' of space, a concrete pad to set the lift on so it does not move, a plug and usually a raising of the existing porch. If the lift user can transfer to a seat....a less expensive option would be an interior or exterior stair lift. For more stair lift information please click here!
