Wheelchair lifts with top quality safety features are an ideal accessibility option for the mobility impaired. The variable speed drive system controls speed and offers smooth start and stop at landings.
Wheelchair Lifts - Optimum Functionality and Safety
Modern wheelchair lifts come with a range of high-tech safety features:
• Platforms featured with non-slippery surface with high guard panels
• Safety under panel sensor - a high sensitive obstruction sensor that stops the lift when an obstruction is encountered in its path, proceeds to the destination after the path is cleared and thus avoids accidents
• Battery-powered wheelchair lift provides reliable operation even during power failure
• Automatic dual access ramp
• Control buttons at convenient height enables wheelchair users to operate individually
• Electro-mechanical braking system with motor avoids irregular movements and losing balance during sudden halts
• Mechanical interlock prevents lift from operation until door is closed or locked
• Safety belts and curved safety arms
• Folding seats
• Emergency valve in the control box helps to lower the lift when power fails
Additional safety features in wheelchair lifts include audio visual alarm and grab rails. In addition to these safety features, these wheelchair lifts can be folded into compact size when not in use. This leaves the stairway free for other users. Key locks on the device prevent unauthorized operation.
