Because of the ability of modular buildings to relocate, can wheelchair lifts and elevators also be relocated?
Virtually all types of wheelchair lifts can be relocated. Typical conventionally built elevators, however, would be quite difficult to relocate, yet could be. However, new types of modular elevators are craned into place as one preassembled structure. Relocation would be done in virtually the same manner. Wheelchair lifts are no more relocatable than modular preassembled elevators. Are there benefits to using a wheelchair lift rather than an elevator, and visa versa? Wheelchair lifts are approximately 40% the cost of an elevator and have typically shorter manufacturing lead times; however, historically, they are not nearly as reliable, and typically require service more frequently. Wheelchair lifts can only be used for the transporting of disabled individuals, and only one at a time. Elevators can transport several individuals at a time and can be used to transport materials as needed. Depending on the number of individuals on the upper floor, one wheelchair lift may not be adequate to
