In many places, having a ramp just isn’t possible due to the amount of area needed for the ramp. Code for ramps is that for every one inch in vertical rise, the ramp needs to have 12 inches of length. If you are going up only six inches in elevation at your home in Daytona Beach, Kissimmee, Orlando, Palm Coast, St. Augustine, St. Cloud, or the surrounding areas, this means you need a minimum of six feet of length for the ramp. Instead, having a vertical lift installed by the team from Southern Home Elevators is a much better option that saves space and can operate any time of the day or night. Call us today to learn more about installing a vertical lift at your home.
Space Concerns Demand a Vertical Lift
As just mentioned, the amount of space that is needed for a ramp of even a small vertical distance is quite large. Many homes do not have the kind of space needed for a ramp, but installing a vertical lift doesn’t need that much space. Our vertical lifts can go as high as 14 feet up if needed without needing a huge footprint. These vertical lifts can also be installed indoors or outdoors as well.
We will often have these vertical lifts installed at front porches of homes. Again, while the vertical distance might not be a huge amount, vertical lifts are much more efficient use of space when compared to ramps. We have also installed these vertical lifts from decks on the backs of homes to provide a way to get down to a lower level, such as a patio. These can be much higher, but with the ability to reach up to 14 feet our vertical lifts will have no problem accommodating nearly every need that homeowners have.
Useful By Everyone
Our vertical lifts can be used by nearly anyone as well, making them a convenient option that homeowners and guests will both find enjoyable. Large enough to handle a wheelchair, these vertical lifts can also be of great benefit to those who are temporarily injured and using crutches, those who use a walker or cane, as well as anyone else who would prefer to use the safety of the vertical lift.
Our vertical lifts are battery powered which means that even in a power outage they will continue to work, and you can be proud that all of our vertical lifts are made in America. Homeowners all over Daytona Beach, Kissimmee, Orlando, Palm Coast, St. Augustine, St. Cloud, and the surrounding areas are finding the usefulness and accessibility of installing a vertical lift at their property. Call our team of experienced installers at Southern Home Elevators to learn more about having a vertical lift added to your home.
