Wheelchair Lifts
There are several different types of wheelchair lifts that are available for use in a variety of different situations. The main two types, however are those dedicated for taking wheelchair users up and down flights or stairs, otherwise known as wheelchair stair lifts, and those that are used for getting in and out of handicap vans or specially adapted vehicles for transporting wheel chair users in comfort and safety, which are better known as vehicle wheelchair lifts.
The household wheelchair stair lift is a great benefit to those who would otherwise be restricted to living only on the ground floor of their home. It is a unit that fits to a rail running the length of a stairway with a platform to take the wheelchair and its user up and down the stairs. It provides accessibility to upper floors of a home and freedom of movement for the person involved.
On the other hand, the wheel chair lift for handicap vans or vehicles is an electrically operated platform that raises the wheelchair user to the level of the vehicle's side entry door to enable straight access to the passenger bay of the vehicle. The wheelchair lift then folds away inside the vehicle when not in use. These and other types of wheelchair ramps and lifts are more fully explained in the articles published on this site and they can be found in the right side navigation column, so if you need to know about the many different aspects of handicap wheelchair lifts, that's where you'll find the information you are looking for.
