Residential Unenclosed Platform Lifts From Bruno
The Bruno platform lift by Access Elevator offers a user-friendly experience with drive-on accessibility and a rocker switch control that makes moving up or down easy. When the lift is in motion, the ramp automatically folds, adding a level of safety by acting as a barrier. Built to handle indoor and outdoor environments, the lift’s weather-resistant controls and durable coating make it a strong choice year-round, with an optional cold-weather package available for extreme winter conditions. For power options, 4-6 ft units come with affordable AC power, and longer 10-ft models feature a DC battery motor that continuously charges. Safety remains a priority, with an obstruction sensor that stops the unit if something is detected under the platform, as well as an emergency stop switch on the platform itself.
Residential & Commercial Platform Lifts From Savaria
Savaria platform lifts offer versatile options for both residential and commercial settings, tailored to different needs based on the required number of stops, entry and exit setups, and preferred finishes. For commercial applications, most Savaria lifts can be configured with ADA-compliant packages, making them suitable for various public spaces. The V-1504 and Multilift models are also available with an enclosure, adding further flexibility for both indoor and outdoor installations. These vertical platform lifts are operated by constant pressure buttons, making them easy to use. However, for those seeking a fully automated lift experience, a home or LU/LA elevator from Savaria might be a more suitable choice.
