Elevator or Vertical Platform Lift for Homes?
Those who need elevators often do not have the budget for them, much less the remodeling. An elevator almost always requires remodeling or even a built-on addition to the home. So this means a traditional elevator costs somewhere around $15,000++ in remodeling costs before money is spent on the actual unit and its installation. This may mean a total cost of $35,000 to $45,000, which very few people can afford.
Vertical platform lifts, on the other hand, range from $6,500 to $15,500 plus installation, making them a much more affordable option. They even use less energy than elevators, which helps keep utility costs low. These vertical lifts in Utah also offer a practical and space-saving solution for improved accessibility, even outdoors. A weather-resistant model makes it easier to reach your front door safely, even in rain or snow. Many outdoor equipment comes with protective covers to keep moisture out, helping them last as long as indoor lifts with proper maintenance.
While some worry that a residential platform lift takes up too much space, it actually has a much smaller footprint than a ramp, especially for heights over 24 inches. Elevators, on the other hand, require major renovations and can even affect a home’s structure. Since most vertical platform lifts in Utah are used for heights between five and eight feet, they offer a more affordable and space-saving alternative to a home elevator.
