Vertical Platform Wheelchair Elevator

Access Mobility Equipment in Fredericksburg Va has recently completed the installation of a vertical platform lift. 

A vertical platform lift, sometimes called a VPL, wheelchair lift, or porch lift, is usually placed next to a porch, deck, or doorway.  The purpose of the lift is much like an elevator.  It raises straight up from the ground to to the higher level.  This is a desirable option because it takes up less space than a long wheelchair ramp.  Since it is powered, caregivers and users enjoy using less physical effort to walk or manually push a wheelchair. 

Our platform lift installations include all related services.  In the pictures for this completed job, there was the addition of a new concrete slab for the lift to sit on and mount to, as well as the addition of a new 20A GFI outdoor outlet. 

Our wheelchair platform lifts can lift up to 14' in height.  They comply with all national and local safety codes.  There are several safety features built in to the for safe user operation.  There are optional gates, wireless remotes,  interlocks, and a weather canopy over head for the user.    The platform and enclosure are large enough for a wheelchair user and a caregiver to ride together.   There is a 3 year warranty on all parts.

Access Mobility Equipment offers discounts to veterans and for customers that avoid the fee of credit card processing.  We also offer very low, fixed interest rate financing to help with funding for wheelchair platform lifts, ramps, and other equipment.

Access Mobility Equipment takes your bathroom safety very seriously. We want you to remain safe in the bathroom, so we have several items and services that can help prevent falls in the bathroom. Each year, there are many falls reported in the bathroom. There are wet surfaces, tub walls to step over, bare feet on tile floors, throw rugs, etc. All of these things can contribute to an increased fall risk for anyone in the bathroom. These factors are especially dangerous for seniors and those with mobility challenges. A bathroom fall can cause many injuries that lead to hospitalizations, rehab facility stays, the feeling of dependence on others, and the list goes on. Access Mobility Equipment's bathroom safety items and services can help you stay safe.

Walk in Bath Tubs and Accessible Showers Access Mobility Equipment can provide you with a walk-in bath tub or accessible or roll-in style handicap shower.

Roll in accessible showers without a step allow for a barrier free safe shower experience and are available with hand held showers, folding bath bench seats, and custom grab bars
