Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you use a vertical platform lift in the correct and approved manner, which includes observing weight and passenger limitations, it will have the same functionality as an elevator. The only difference between an elevator and a VPL is that an elevator car moves with a single button push, whereas a VPL requires constant pressure on its switch to move the platform.
-
No! If anything, a vertical platform lift is a much faster, simpler installation with fewer restrictions and space requirements. RAM engineered their VPL solutions to be flexible, durable, and easy to use, no matter where they are installed. This makes them an excellent low-cost, low-intrusion commitment for renters or short-term mobility restrictions.
-
In order to meet codes and provide optimum safety for someone using a mobility aid, a ramp may be required to be twenty inches long for every one inch it rises. Using this equation, to access a doorway four feet off the ground, you would need to install a ramp that is eighty feet in length to meet code. These requirements make ramps expensive, unsightly, and impractical in many applications.
-
Absolutely not. We ensure that all our products are safe and stable under normal working circumstances. Our VPLs are intended for indoor and outdoor use, so we have thoroughly tested them under adverse conditions to ensure they perform as needed, whether they are exposed to water or freezing conditions
