Vertical Platform Lifts

A Buying Guide for Vertical Platform Lifts

Allow people using mobility devices to easily enter or exit a home, deck, or patio with a Bruno platform lift. A space-efficient, smooth Bruno platform lift is like a “mini elevator” and enables a person in a scooter or wheelchair to safely overcome a vertical barrier.

Easy to Use. Self-lowering ramp folds down for smooth on/off access and automatically folds up to create a safety barrier when the platform lift is in use. Pressure-control rocker switch provides easy up/down operation.

Safe. The unit shuts down when the obstruction sensor under the platform is touched. Bruno platform lifts feature an emergency stop switch on the platform control panel.

Indoor or Outdoor. Weather-resistant controls and specialized coating protect the lift. Optional cold-weather package further combats extreme winter conditions.

Reliable. Affordable AC power in 4-6 ft units (DC power optional) and continuous charging DC battery-powered motor on 10 ft models.

Code-Compliant. Designed in accordance with ASME A18.1, section 5 and can be used in most applications to meet ANSI A117.1 National Accessibility Guidelines.

Another situation in which a Vertical Platform Lift may come in handy is inside multi-level homes. For example, a wheelchair user can use this device to navigate between floors in the home when a platform lift is installed. Think of it as an elevator. You’ll simply roll the wheelchair onto the platform, power it on, and you’ll be transported between the different levels in your home. The size of your device will vary based on your needs. A platform lift can range anywhere from a few feet up to 20 feet or more. The good news is that you can always tailor your device to meet the unique needs of your home.

How does it work?

Let’s start with some basic information. A Vertical Platform Lift is an elevating device that is specifically designed to travel short distances. You’ll find that standard models are equipped with an open platform as well as a drive mechanism that allows them to power up and down. Depending on where you are having it installed in your home, you may also see it referred to as a platform lift, porch deck, or deck lift. More often than not, these devices are used to provide access from a ground-level area to the elevated entrance within a home.
