Two Wheelchair lift Case Studies

There are two types of wheelchair lifts. One is a vertical platform lift that a wheelchair user drives up on, a button is pushed, and the lift takes the rider from one level to another. The other type of wheelchair lift is an incline wheelchair lift that is attached to a track that is mounted to a load bearing wall. To buy wheelchair lifts on line is questionable do to the customized requirements of each job site, size and weight of equipment being lifts and the wheelchair users physical needs.

Here are two wheelchair lift case studies:

A Gardena, California family was faced with getting into and out of their mobile home with a wheelchair after a stroke left the husband unable to walk. Ramps took up too much space and were too steep for the wife to manage.

Solution: SILVER CROSS Los Angeles provided a vertical platform lift (aka Porch Lift) for access to the rear door of the home, which left enough room for the existing stairs and left the carport free for the family car to be parked there.

A Torrance, California woman needed the lowest-possible cost wheelchair access to her home without advertising the fact that someone in the home was disabled.

Solution: SILVER CROSS modified the step entry into the main house and provided a wheelchair lift to access it. These modifications were discretely installed in the garage, out of sight, and with enough room left for the car.

There are many used wheelchair lift retailers than can assist in finding a lower cost alternative to a new wheelchair lift.
