People often choose a residential platform lift instead of a ramp for certain applications due to space efficiency and ease of use. Because there must be a foot of ramp for every inch of rise, a ramp can become very long for the space and tiring for the mobility device user.

Bruno platform lifts are either powered with Batteries, or with normal household (AC) current.  Bruno 4' and 6' platform lifts come standard with AC power, and can be upgraded to battery power.  All 10' units come standard with our battery option.  Unlike using AC power, the battery option will continue to work in a power outage and provide you with several round trips without recharging the batteries.

While a Bruno platform lift is a free-standing unit, there are several common site prep considerations prior to installation. Because a concrete pad is required for a platform lift to create a proper approach for a wheelchair or scooter, there may be concrete work needed. In addition, there might be preparation needed for the landing gate to be installed at the top landing. Also, it may be necessary to run electricity to the location of the platform lift to power the lift or the battery charger.
