Vertical platform lifts VPL 3300b are a cost-effective solution to make a church, school, office or other public building accessible for people using mobility devices. Sometimes called a wheelchair lift, a VPL provides code-compliant access up to 14’ in a variety of configurations (check with local jurisdiction) and is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

Benefits of Vertical Platform Lifts

Cost-Effective

Gain cost efficiencies by installing a vertical platform lift instead of an elevator or long ramp system.

Compact

Ramps require 12” horizontal travel for every 1” vertical travel. For example, a 36” rise would require a 36’ ramp. In addition to taking up significant space, ramps can be fatiguing. A vertical platform lift saves space and is automatically powered.

Meets USA ADA Requirements

Vertical platform lifts are acknowledged in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines as a means to provide public building access. Bruno VPLs are designed in accordance with ASME A18.1 section 2.

General Information

Finishes
