An inclined platform lift is the perfect solution when attempting to make a heritage building wheelchair accessible. Unlike a vertical lift , these platform lifts require a minimal amount of contractual work to the building, thus eliminating the need alter the aesthetics or change the existing structure. It is possible in some situations to install these lifts without altering the wall structure. 

Did you know that you can retro-fit a home elevator or accessibility lift into your existing home? The key is to find mutually unused space on each floor that the elevator or lift needs to access. This usually requires anywhere from 25 to 30 square feet, but make sure to contact a sales representative
