Common Questions About Platform Lifts

Here are straightforward answers to the most common questions our Texas neighbors ask about installing a VPL.

  • Can a VPL be installed outside?

    Yes, absolutely. Vertical platform lifts are specifically designed for outdoor use with weather-resistant paint, sealed controls, and durable components that stand up to the elements.

  • What is required for a VPL installation?

    A VPL requires two things: a firm, level concrete pad to serve as a foundation, and a dedicated electrical circuit to provide consistent, safe power to the unit.

  • How much weight can a vertical platform lift hold?

    The standard weight capacity for our residential models is 750 pounds, providing more than enough strength to safely lift a person in a wheelchair along with a caregiver or heavy items.

  • Are VPLs safer than long ramps?

    For many homes, yes. Ramps can become long, steep, and slippery in wet weather. A VPL provides a compact, stable, and perfectly level ride that is often a much safer and more convenient solution.
