Porch-Lift PL-RA (residential)
Overview

If there's one place in the world that should be accessible to those in wheelchairs, it's their own home. Thanks to the Porch-Lift PL-RA, thousands of homeowners over the years have overcome those barriers.

Our team of engineers is the largest, most respected group in the industry and has worked closely with our customers over the years, so we know what our customers look for in a wheelchair lift.

The PL-RA offers our residential customer:

  • A stylish, compact design that blends in with - not overwhelms - your home's living environment
  • Maximized functionality and lift space no matter what size wheelchair is used
  • Powerful performance with a lift rating of 550 pounds!
  • Peace of mind with an amazing number of safety features you'd only expect to get in a wheelchair lift that costs thousands of dollars more
  • Customization options to meet your unique needs
  • A hard-working, low-maintenance accessibility tool that sets the standard for residential wheelchair lifts

And much, much more!

Features

You and your loved ones will especially enjoy the smooth, quiet ride of your PL-RA. This powerful residential model features a gate at the upper landing and an automatic folding ramp at the lower landing. Separate controls at each level ensure that your lift will be exactly where you want it at the push of a button. Its VDRTM mechanical interlocks prevent the lift from moving until the gate is securely closed.

And remember that this tiny titan lifts a rated load of up to 550 lbs. and operates on a standard household current. It is designed for indoor or outdoor use. Should your needs require a taller lifting height than 6'3", we offer other commercial models that travel over 12'.

Safety Features

There are multiple safety features built into each lift. Highly sensitive sensors detect when an object is blocking the lift's path, helping prevent damage to the item or lift. Once the path is cleared, the lift continues to your destination.

Controls

Optional remote controls can be mounted on or near the lift, giving you instant accessibility at your fingertips. It's a real convenience if more than one person will be using the lift. The standard controls on the lift include a directional paddle, an emergency stop button, and a key lock to secure the lift against unauthorized use.
