1. Benefits of a Vacuum-Powered Home Wheelchair Lift
Being confined to a wheelchair doesn’t mean you have to lose access to certain parts of your home.
For many homeowners, the need for a wheelchair prevents access to ones upper floors. Ramping
solutions often solve minor elevation differences in the home, but traveling from story to story ends
up becoming a nearly impossible feat.
However, recent innovations in lift technology have made in-home wheelchair lifts more attractive,
easier to install, and less expensive in existing homes than ever. Home elevators used to be limited to
the wealthy and affluent, but thanks to the power of the vacuum elevator, installing a home
wheelchair lift in a new or existing home is a relatively new and cost-effective option.
Vacuum-powered residential elevators offer a number of benefits:
Independence
Once a PVE52 home wheelchair lift is installed, there’s no
reason to worry about moving from the lift to the chair and
back. Unlike some multi-floor solutions, vacuum-powered
PVE52 wheelchair lifts allow you to enter and exit the lift
without ever getting out of your chair. If space or cost are
prohibiting factors, the PVE37 offers a great solution with
the foldable cabin seat as an option.
Accessibility
If your bedroom is upstairs but you’ve lost the ability to
ascend and descend via stairs, you may want to consider
installing a home elevator. A residential elevator gives you
the ability to access all parts of your home without any
difficulty.
Safety
Vacuum-powered lifts are among the safest lift solutions on the market. Because there are very few
moving parts and the entire lift is air-powered, a soft cushion of air will always be present to safely
lower the lift — even if the power goes out. They offer a safe and efficient ride that is unmatched by
traditional elevator technology.
If you’re struggling to adjust to the accessibility issues in your home, consider the immense benefits
of an in-home elevator. Vacuum technology has created a solution where lifts are more affordable,
easier to install, and safer than ever before.
