 Accessibility Equipment Defined Accessibility equipment is a variety of mechanical devices designed to assist wheelchair users or persons who have difficulty walking up and down stairs. Here are some simple definitions: Vertical Platform Lift: This mini-elevator travels in a straight vertical path and contains a one or two passenger cab with 42" high walls. Its maximum travel height is 14 feet, with up to three stops and is generally housed in a hoistway. Inclined Platform Lift: A folding platform with 6" to 8" safety walls and wrap-around safety arms that travels along the incline of an existing stairway. Designed for one passenger, the number of stops and maximum travel length is limited by practicality. Inclined Stairway Chairlift: A one-passenger folding seat that travels along the incline of an existing stairway. Emergency Evacuation Device: Transportation device with rubber-tracked wheelbase that transports persons with disabilities down stairways and out of buildings that may be under threat of fire, hurricane, earthquake, or bombing. Portable Wheelchair Lift: A device that transports persons with disabilities up and down stairs when a permanent lift is not available. L.U.L.A. Elevator: Small-scale fully automatic elevators with shallow pits that can be utilized in limited use applications. |
