Lifts

Lifts encompass a broad variety of mobility equipment designed to improve access to a home or business. Advanced Seating and Mobility is pleased to offer vehicle lifts, ceiling lifts, porch lifts and stair lifts.

Vehicle lifts are commonly used to transport a power chair or scooter and powered by the auto battery. There are two types: one is where the model is equipped to electronically fold into the trunk of a car or the back of a van and is out of sight once stored. The second type is attached to the back of your vehicle and visible at all times, in which case a cover is used to protect the mobility equipment from the weather. Vehicle lifts may be an option for someone considering a lowered floor van, they are far less expensive than a van conversion and can be de-installed upon resale of the vehicle. A vehicle lift can easily be fitted in roughly 3 hours whereas a van conversion will require a day or longer.

You can find a wheelchair lift to fit virtually any circumstance, and we have the expertise to help you find the model that will be most practical for your automobile, truck, van or minivan.

Medicare and most major insurance companies do not cover the purchase of a lift. However, most major automobile manufacturers offer up to $1,000 reimbursement on the cost with a recently purchased or leased vehicle.

Ceiling lifts help individuals with mobility in a home or clinical setting. Mounted to the ceiling and powered with a battery they assist the client or caregiver in routine transfers such as from the from living room to bathroom. Some models can climb from room to room, avoiding cut-out's over the doors and the patient's position can also be changed during the lift, for example, as from a chair to a bed. They save space and provide a safe way to transport clients.

Porch lifts or vertical platform lifts enable access for mobility equipment users. These are the small elevators you typically see in public buildings. A user enters the lift in one direction, closes the gate and presses a button then exits the lifts continuing in the same direction. These lifts are an excellent choice for stages, elevation changes, and overcoming other architectural barriers in a home or public setting and are available for indoor and outdoor use.
