What is a Vertical Platform Lift?


A vertical platform lift, often called a VPL, is a small elevator for a wheelchair. The wheelchair is rolled onto the platform and then raised or lowered between levels up to six feet tall.

Reasons People Choose Vertical Platform Lifts (VPLs)

 

1. Space confinements

  • Sometimes, there just isn’t room for a ramp. ADA guidelines for ramps require at least one foot of ramp for every 12 inches of rise. For some homes, there simply isn’t room. In those cases, vertical platform lifts are often the best choice because they have a small footprint.

 

2. User ability

  • Sometimes it is physically impossible for a person in a traditional wheelchair to maneuver themselves up an inclined ramp. A vertical platform lift essentially makes getting on your porch or deck effortless. 

 

3. Caregiver safety

  • Another reason people choose VPLs is for the safety of a caregiver, especially in situations where the caregiver is smaller framed than the person being pushed in the wheelchair. Depending on the physical condition of the caregiver, pushing a wheelchair up a ramp may be impossible or increase the risk of injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of an VPL depends on several factors: 

1. Size

Criteria in determining VPL size are:

– Whether or not the user is in a wheelchair, and, if so, is the wheelchair reclined?

– Number of people using the VPL at the same time (person alone, person w/caregiver, etc.)if in a wheelchair is the chair reclined or not. 

2. Optional Features

Some people choose to add additional features. Certain options can increase the cost of the vertical platform lift.
