Fredericksburg VA Wheelchair Ramp

Recently,  Access Mobility Equipment completed a wheelchair ramp installation for a customer in the Fredericksburg,  VA area. 

This ramp was ordered and installed quickly just before a Christmas weekend deadline. This ramp allowed a customer to move into their new home and enjoy the holidays. 

That's the advantage of an aluminum modular ramp from Access Mobility Equipment.  There are no concrete footers or building permits so the installation can be completed in less than two hours. Best of all,  aluminum ramps from Access Mobility have a lifetime warranty and they never have to be stained,  sealed,  cleaned,  etc.  You'll love the resale value of your ramp too if you ever find yourself no longer needing it.

We also provide stairlift chairs,  bathroom safety equipment and renovations,  mobility scooters,  and anything else related to mobility or accessibility.

Vertical Platform Wheelchair Lift Elevator

Access Mobility Equipment has completed a vertical plaform wheelchair lift in the prestigious community of Fawn Lake in Spotsylvania, VA just west of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

A vertical platform lift (VPL) is sometimes also known as a porch lift, deck lift, or elevator.  Access Mobility Equipment provides vertical platorm lifts that are 100% Made in the USA.  Our VPLs are capable of carrying 750 pounds in the platform car.  Our lifts are primarily battery powered so that you never have to worry about a power outtage.  The batteries are always on continuous charge so they are never dead.   There are safety mechanisms in place to ensure that the lift will only move when the top entry gate is closed, and there are no obstructions under the platform as it lowers.

This particular customer initially called Access Mobility Equipment in Fredericksburg, VA to evaluate the residence for a wheelchair ramp.  The height to the entry door inside the garage was 58" which would require too lengthy of a ramp for inside the garage.   The height at the main front entry was even higher and more undesirable because of the appearance from curbside.   So, in this case a platform lift was a very good option,  The footprint of a platform lift is very small relative to the height of rise it can handle lifting straight up.

One challenge here was the steps went straight to the door so there was no landing or turning space coming off the lift and into the door.  Our crew removed the existing steps and constructed a 5' x 5' ADA Compliant landing at the door threshold level.  The steps were then added back to the platform on facing the same direction.  Finally we installed the lift so that the carriage ends on the side of the platform making for easy entry and exit for our customer using his wheelchair or walker,

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.
