Selecting the Correct Vertical Lift

 

Selecting The Correct Vertical Platform Lift (VPL)

The first step is determining if you need a vertical lift for a residential or commercial application. Residential applications are defined as single family dwellings. A duplex or condo will often fall within this definition as long as the lift does not serve two or more families. The significance of this decision relates to the applicable codes. Below is a guideline for general consideration. As stated previously, codes in your area may have additions or amendments not noted in the basic ASME A18.1 regulations.
