Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions families ask us about vertical platform lifts.
When should I choose a platform lift instead of a ramp?
Platform lifts are ideal when ramps would be too long, too steep, or take up too much space in your yard. They’re especially useful for porches, decks, and entryways where safe vertical access is needed but a ramp isn’t practical.
How long does it take to install a platform lift?
Most vertical platform lifts can be installed within a few days once the equipment arrives. Our team handles site preparation, installation, and safety testing, so you’ll be confident using your lift right away.
Are platform lifts safe to use in Michigan winters?
Yes. We install weather-resistant AmeriGlide models that are built to perform safely year-round. They include non-slip platforms, protective finishes, and reliable operation in rain, snow, and cold conditions.
How much space does a platform lift need?
Vertical platform lifts have a compact footprint and can usually be placed right next to your porch or deck. We’ll evaluate your entryway and recommend the best location to fit your space without major disruption.
Do platform lifts work during power outages?
Many models include battery backup systems that allow you to use the lift safely during short-term power outages. We’ll review options with you and recommend the best fit for your needs.
What kind of maintenance do lifts require?
Platform lifts are designed for regular, everyday use. We recommend periodic safety checks and simple upkeep to keep them running smoothly. During installation, we’ll walk you through basic care and maintenance.
Are platform lifts noisy or difficult to use?
Not at all. AmeriGlide lifts are designed to be smooth, quiet, and easy to operate with simple controls. We’ll make sure you feel fully comfortable using your lift before we leave.
