Porch lifts, also called “residential vertical platform lifts”, are lifts designed to allow the mobility-challenged access to a raised porch or deck or between floors. These lifts come in different lift height ranges for a variety of applications.

Why Install a Porch Lift?

Porch lifts are used as an alternative to a ramp in situations where the use of a ramp may be, for a variety of reasons, undesirable or unfeasible. Sometimes, the height of a raised deck or porch is too far to be easily bridged with a ramp, or sometimes there is not enough room for a ramp. In these situations, the compact profile of a porch lift can solve the problem easily. In other cases, a person with mobility issues or their loved ones may have trouble navigating a ramp, particularly one with a long run, with a wheelchair. In these cases, the power of a porch lift can save time, energy, or even a life. Finally, there is the sad but true fact that a wheelchair ramp can have a negative impact on property value, as this Colorado family found out for themselves. A porch lift can be an attractive alternative, in some cases even adding value to the home.
