The two main types of lifts for accessibility are:
Vertical Platform Lifts (VPLs): Move straight up and down to provide access between levels, such as from a porch or garage. Available in enclosed or unenclosed models with safety gates.
- Inclined Platform Lifts (IPLs): Travel along stairs, often requiring minimal construction. They take up less space and can serve multiple flights, with models for straight stairs or those that turn corners and navigate landings.
