Need some cost feedback for ADA type wheelchair liftApr 05, 2009


Our indoor garage requires a resident to traverse about 16 steps to gain access to the elevator lobby from the garage level, about 10 vertical feet.

We think we can fit and install one of the indoor commercial building wheelchair lifts. Internet searches show models that can support 750 pounds.

Has anyone had the opportunity to install one?

If yes what costs and challenges have you faced?

If yes, do you allow any resident to employ the lift?

How do you keep children from using the lift, unless handicapped?

Yes, we'll engage our outside elevator consultant but I wanted to obtain some sage feedback beforehand

Thanks much.

There's no place for a ramp - Willey Apr 05, 2009


Given the change in height, one level to the next, a ramp is impossible.
