Installing an Outdoor Wheelchair Lift

An outdoor wheelchair lift is ideal for someone who has difficulty with stairs and can safely transport a person from the ground to the porch. Outdoor wheelchair lifts have marine-grade vinyl seats and covers that protect the lift from debris and extreme weather. They are sealed with a cover that protects the motor and seat, and some outdoor wheelchair lifts have heaters to keep the motor warm.
