What is an inclined or vertical wheelchair platform lift?
How are they different from a traditional elevator? An inclined wheelchair platform lift goes up on an angle, usually from one floor to the next. A vertical wheelchair platform lift runs vertically from one level to another to a maximum vertical travel of 14 feet. Both types of units are limited to a maximum capacity of 750 pounds and no more than 18 square feet of net floor space. Equipment that exceeds these limits is required to meet more stringent safety standards.
