The Harmar Highlander II is a heavy-duty vertical platform lift for a rider who remains in a manual wheelchair, powerchair or scooter. It is offered in multiple lift heights and platform sizes for residential and commercial accessibility applications.
For shorter vertical travel, the Harmar VPL400-X is a straightforward platform-lift solution for porches, decks and garage steps. Its compact footprint can be especially useful where a long modular ramp would consume too much space.
Need a wheelchair elevator temporarily, or trying to lower the cost of an accessibility project? Ask about USED, reconditioned and rental wheelchair lifts when available. Inventory and suitability vary by application, so call us with your measurements and access requirements.
800-824-3145A VPL acts like a small open platform elevator. Instead of transferring from the wheelchair to a stair chair, the user can remain on the mobility device while moving between levels.
A good installation begins with the total vertical rise, available platform area, upper landing layout, entry and exit direction, electrical requirements, and the size and combined weight of the rider and mobility device. Local permitting, concrete pad requirements, landing gates or enclosures may also affect the final configuration. We can help you identify the questions to ask before choosing a lift.
For many families, a residential wheelchair platform lift can help preserve access to an existing home without redesigning an entire entrance. A properly selected VPL may assist wheelchair users, powerchair users and scooter users with everyday entry and exit while reducing the need for difficult transfers.
Rental needs can arise during recovery, temporary mobility changes, remodeling, family visits or short-term accessibility situations. Because every VPL installation is site-specific, call to discuss the lift height, duration, site conditions and whether a rental platform-lift solution is practical for your location.
Used and reconditioned equipment may provide substantial savings when the unit matches the required height, platform size, condition and installation.

A vertical platform lift moves a platform vertically between two elevations while the rider remains in a wheelchair, scooter or other compatible mobility device. It is often called a wheelchair lift, platform elevator or porch lift.
It depends on the site. A VPL can use far less horizontal space than a long ramp, while a ramp has fewer mechanical components. The best choice depends on rise, space, budget, local requirements and the user's mobility needs.
Many residential platform lifts are designed for outdoor use. The correct model, site preparation, electrical supply, drainage, gates and weather exposure should all be reviewed before installation.
Ask about used, reconditioned and rental possibilities. Availability changes, and any used or rental unit must match the required lifting height, platform dimensions, safety configuration and site conditions.
