What It Is
Stairs without leaving the wheelchair
An inclined platform lift is a platform that travels along a rail mounted to a straight staircase. A wheelchair or scooter user rolls on, rides to the other level, and rolls off, with no transfer to a stairlift seat.
Western Stairlifts installs the Atlas AC-105. Its platform folds up against the wall when it is not in use, so the staircase stays clear for everyone else in the home.
The right lift starts with the staircase. At the free in-home evaluation we measure the stairs, the stair width, and the space at the top and bottom, and we confirm whether an inclined platform lift, a vertical platform lift, or a stairlift is the better fit.
