What is a vertical platform lift?

It is used to overcome differences in height which prohibit the use of a wheelchair or scooter. This difference can be as little as two feet to as much as fourteen feet, inside or outside the home. While a ramp could be used in many of these cases, it would require a long ramp that would require large amounts of time and money to build. A vertical platform lift transports both the user and their mobility device at the same time.
