Imagine you're in a wheelchair and getting ready to venture out for an enjoyable day of shopping. You arrive at your favorite department store, ask a shop assistant where the clothing department is located and learn it’s on the third floor. Everything is going well until you wheel around the ground floor several times searching for the lift. You finally ask another assistant where the lift is located and she advises you the higher floors are only accessible via the stairs.
Imagine you have been involved in a terrible car accident. You spend months recovering in the hospital and undergo several operations. Your injuries are so severe you’re now confined to a wheelchair. The day for you to leave the hospital finally arrives and you're very excited. You pack up your belongings and thank the doctors and nurses while you wait for your ride. You wheel down the driveway of your house, enter and decide to head upstairs. You suddenly realize you can’t access the top floor of your own home!
Unfortunately, similar situations occur to thousands of people every day. Fortunately, a very simple solution exists – purchasing a wheelchair platform lift. These innovative solutions provide safe and convenient access to any above-ground levels, whether in a residential or public building. A wheelchair platform lift can be installed inside or outside and some models provide the added convenience of folding up when not in use or being completely portable.
Business owners in multi-level buildings can purchase a wheelchair platform lift for their premises. This will allow customers, clients and employees to easily access the higher levels of their establishment. This will not only increase their customer base, but also ensure they meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) established in 1994. The Act was created with the goal of ensuring that all public buildings are equipped with convenient access for disabled individuals.
Individuals who need to use a wheelchair on a permanent or temporary basis can also greatly benefit from the purchase of a wheelchair platform lift. This lift will give them much greater freedom by providing them quick and easy access to any level of their own home. If they don't have a wheelchair platform lift installed, they may be confined to the ground floor of their residence.
