What You Should Know About Power Wheelchair Lifts
Although the cost of a power wheelchair lift is higher than a "manual" lift that requires a lot of muscle-power as well as just plain annoyance, the new breakthroughs in this technology is well worth the price. Is there some sort of unwritten rule that otherwise healthy people who are confined to a wheelchair have no choice but to sit at home and watch all the daytime court shows? Try telling this to an enthusiastic person with a power lift chair fitted on to a car or van!
Many people who live in their wheel chairs are extremely independent and content with their lives because an electric wheel chair lift allows them to go where they want without the Herculean feat of loading a wheel chair into a car or van. With a high-quality electric wheel chair lift, it does 90% of the work for you; friends, co-workers and family can quickly load both you and the chair into a car or van, and you are out of there!
Best-Selling Power Wheelchair Lifts
Before electric chairs and electric wheel chair lifts, "carting" dogs were used to taking those unable to walk to the market, the doctor, to church, or wherever else the disabled person wished to go. Today, state-of-the-art modern electric wheel chairs and lifts make it very easy for a handicapped person to have few, if any, limitations on where they can go. Of course, the dogs like it better, too!
The Extreme 4X4 is a good example of what type of quality product is available for you to choose. The chair is folded and snapped onto the lift, and an electric motor raises the chair high enough for storage in a car trunk or the back part of a van.
The Portable Wheel Chair Stage Lift Elevator is another best-seller because it can be easily switched from one car or van to another. The Light Ramp can be used as electric wheel chair lift that can be adapted for vans, cars, or pickup trucks. It also doubles as a ramp for accessing steps and curbs.
Very large or obese individuals often have trouble finding a chair that is large and sturdy enough to hold them, yet still light enough to fit easily into an electric wheelchair lift. They are available, although they are more expensive than traditional lifts. However, they will support the extra weight needed and can support someone who weighs up to 400 pounds.
Electric wheel chair lifts are not inexpensive. However, when you consider that a handicapped individual without the benefit of such a lift will be largely confined to their home or immediate surroundings. You can expect to pay anywhere from $300-$800 for a quality lift, depending upon how you need your electric wheel chair lift to perform for you. How much are you willing to pay for your mobility and independence?
