Vertical platform lift for wheelchair access across an indoor change of level.
Get Home Lift Advice
An unenclosed vertical platform lift for a short rise inside the home. It is worth comparing with a ramp or step lift when a corridor, hallway or entrance has limited space.
A surface-mounted Melody 1 can use a fixed approach ramp, keeping it above floor level without a pit. Terry also lists a pit option for indoor projects. The choice affects the space required to approach the platform and the move onto the upper level.

Measure the total vertical rise and the clear space at both levels. Ask the installer to specify the upper landing gate and platform approach for the chosen height.
Check platform width and the combined user and wheelchair load. The manufacturer specifies upper-level gate protection for domestic rises above 290 mm.
The illuminated controls need continuous pressure. Terry describes battery-backed lowering and specifies an upper landing gate for domestic travel above 290 mm. Confirm the landing protection with the installer.
