2 Important Safety Features in Our Vertical Platform Lifts

Vertical Platform Lifts can help people with mobility problems get in and out of their house and from one floor to another. Whether it is a few inches or several feet, stairs present problems for people. When we are considering alternatives to ramps or elevators, people often ask what makes a vertical platform safe. I’d like to highlight two of the safety features, in our video today.

Bruno vertical platforms that we install come with an interlock, which keeps the door or gate closed when the platform isn’t positioned right behind the gate or door. The door can’t be opened which reduces the risk of falling.

A second important feature of a vertical platform lift is the safety panel under the lift. If something rolls under the lift, the pad will touch it as the platform is lowered. The switch under the panel will then stop the lift. This is very important as the person who is riding a lift can’t see what is under the lift.

There are many reasons to consider a vertical platform lift and these are just two of the safety features that will let you use a lift with confidence over the years. Email or call if you would like more information.
