Platform lifts offer a larger platform area, making them suitable for wheelchairs and other mobility devices. They can travel vertically between floors, whereas stairlifts are limited to following the path of the stairs. Platform lifts also provide a smoother and more stable ride.

There are several types of platform lifts, including vertical platform lifts (Also known as home lifts), inclined platform lifts, and open platform lifts. Each type is designed to meet different accessibility needs and installation requirements.

Platform lifts come with various safety features such as emergency stop buttons, safety sensors, non-slip surfaces, and battery backup systems. These features ensure the safety of users during operation and in case of power outages.

Platform lifts provide accessibility solutions for individuals with mobility challenges. They are versatile and can be installed in various settings, both commercial and residential, to improve access and independence.
