You need to contact his local durable medical equipment provider for assistance, or even a local mobility shop can point you in the right direction. Wheelchair lifts and ramps should be installed and repaired by a licensed professional.

Wheel chair porch lift, wheel chairs

Porch lifts like the one pictured above (Trust-T-Lift from RAM Manufacturing LTD) usually consist of a platform that travels up and down a stationary tower thereby raising or lowering an individual to a different height. The user simply rolls onto the lift platform, pushes the lift button to rise to porch level and then rolls off the lift.

Depending on the height the lift platform needs to travel, the whole process shouldn't take more than 30 to 60 seconds. Porch lifts can extend from approximately 3 feet to over 12 feet in height.

Purchasing Tips : Consider purchasing a unit that will serve your needs but at the minimum height necessary to save on costs. Porch lifts can handle wheel chairs and scooters and can lift and lower up to 600 pounds. If you need a porch lift to reach a 4 foot 3 inch height, consider adding height to the foundation rather than opting for the next higher reaching unit. It could save you hundreds of dollars.
