Mobility challenges should never get in the way of your life. Outdoor platform lifts provide easy entry for those using scooters or wheelchairs, letting you live without limits. With DME Elevators & Lifts, you can count on safe and reliable outdoor wheelchair lift installations for homes and public spaces by trusted experts.
Decks and porches are timeless additions to any home, but the stairs can be a challenge—especially for scooter and wheelchair users. Instead of changing the exterior of your home with a ramp, a vertical platform lift (VPL) from DME Elevators & Lifts will let you enter your home without sacrificing your home’s design.
Using state-of-the-art technology, these reliable wheelchair lifts will get you from level to level without worrying about any obstacles that might cross your path. We install, repair, and provide residential and commercial wheelchair lifts.
All of our vertical platform lifts come with a standard upper landing gate. A folding hinged ramp is included in low-rise unenclosed applications and may be fitted with an optional platform-mounted lower-landing gate. Doors and gates may be manual or power-operated.
Outdoor wheelchair lifts are designed to withstand harsh Midwest weather. Our outdoor lifts will typically use screw drives. These drives usually climb at ten feet per minute.
Our vertical platform lifts are installed with your needs in mind. That’s why we offer car sizes reaching up to 18 square feet with low-rise applications measuring up to six feet with two stops. The load capacity for our vertical platform lifts is 750 pounds.
The steel platform has a grab rail and guard panels that are 42″ high. The non-skid surface of this platform ensures a secure and comfortable ride. You can match your lift to the external paint of your building thanks to the variety of different colors.
Certain low-rise units may be unenclosed, taller units require a shaftway or enclosure. Depending on the application, enclosures, shaftways, and doors may be fire-rated.
Configuration of a commercial outdoor lift comes equipped with a straight-through entry and exit. Additional options for entry and exit on the same side and a 90-degree entry and exit are available. Screw and hydraulic drives are also utilized.
Commercial outdoor VPLs can reach 14 feet with up to three stops. Screw drives climb at ten or twenty feet per minute (fpm), while hydraulic drive systems run at 17 fpm. For a more refined VPL, DME Elevators & Lifts offers a Full Height Cab option.
We’re changing the way people move, one wheelchair lift at a time. With over 45 years of experience, DME Elevators & Lifts is committed to uplifting our customers with every installation.
For many Americans with disabilities, navigating the world around them comes with its own set of challenges and obstacles that they must face daily. For individuals with disabilities that leave them in a wheelchair, daily tasks such as climbing stairs become insurmountable and dangerous to navigate on their own. Tools
