VPLs (Vertical Platform Wheelchair Lifts), or wheelchair porch lifts provide a safe and easy method of getting up and down stairs. BILD provides uniquely durable all-weather systems for indoor and outdoor conditions.
Vertical Platform Wheelchair Lifts provide the following benefits:
- They require less space than ramps
- Easier to get sheltered garage access to home
- With multiple stairs they’re often less expensive than ramps
- Easier to manage and require less energy
Wheelchair porch lifts can be a great alternative to wheelchair ramps, and in certain situations may be even less costly than wheelchair ramps. Vertical wheelchair platform lifts also provide options for access where a wheelchair ramp would not be possible due to limited space (such as inside of garages, or in yards that have limited spaces to manage many steps to enter the home). We provide other types of wheelchair lift options including inclined platform lifts, and caregiver assisted stair lifters. We can help find the best option for you with an in-home consultation.
BILD is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but has technicians that assist with installation, maintenance, and service in Milwaukee and surrounding areas, Chicago, and throughout Wisconsin.
