Wheelchair Lifts for Homes and Businesses in Northern California

Entry steps, a raised deck or a split-level floor can shut a wheelchair user out of part of their own home. We install Apex platform lifts that restore that access for residences and for commercial and public buildings in Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose and the East Bay.

We assess the site, advise on code requirements and carry out the installation.

Lifts on Sloping Lots

On a sloping lot, a ramp at a safe gradient would be impractically long, so a lift is often the only realistic option. A vertical platform lift rises alongside the steps and needs only a few square feet. An inclined platform lift follows a staircase and folds flat between uses.

Why Owners Choose a Platform Lift

Our article on the benefits of installing a wheelchair lift sets out the main reasons. Inside the home, a stair lift or a home elevator can complete the route.

Wheelchair Lift FAQ

Can a wheelchair lift be installed inside a garage?

Yes. A garage installation is sheltered and discreet, and it raises the wheelchair to the level of the door into the house.

What is the difference between a platform lift and an elevator?

A platform lift is a simpler machine designed for shorter rises, usually up to one story. An elevator has an enclosed cab and can serve several floors.

Do you install lifts for businesses?

Yes. We install platform lifts for shops, offices, restaurants, churches and other public buildings.

How much space is needed?

A vertical lift needs a level pad a little larger than its platform and a clear landing at the top.
