ADA Platform Lifts and other ADA Lifts for Chicago, IL, and throughout Chicagoland
People with limited mobility and disabilities sometimes have issues entering, exiting, and moving around commercial buildings without additional assistance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides federal guidelines for accessibility accommodations for public spaces.
Access Elevator Inc. is the leading accessibility company serving Chicago and the surrounding areas. We offer ADA-compliant accessibility solutions for residential and commercial properties, including stairlifts, residential elevators, and vertical platform lifts.
ADA Platform Lifts in Chicago & Chicagoland
Ramps and stairlifts are beneficial to disabled people, but they don’t fit every location. When space and building layouts are issues, a vertical platform lift for wheelchair and power chair users will give the elderly, people with disabilities, and people with limited mobility access to places with steps or inclines. They enable independence and convenience.
Rule 410 of the ADA standards dictates that platform lifts are independently operable, so users need no assistance moving short distances vertically. The lifts are ideal for many properties, such as schools, restaurants, hotels, spas, and older buildings without enough space for ramps. The wheelchair lifts can be self-contained enclosures or unenclosed.

Patient Ceiling Lift in Chicago & Chicagoland
Ceiling-mounted patient lifts use a rail system and sling to lift and transfer people. They are ideal for those who need help moving from a bed or chair to the bathroom or wheelchair. The configurations for the rails and mounts are customizable to accommodate the building’s layout and the needs of disabled people.
With a patient ceiling lift, caregivers won’t have to worry about heavy lifting, meaning patients can experience movement without the risk of injury. The equipment also helps those with limited mobility tend to their personal needs without assistance, which can boost their confidence and independence.
Pool Lift in Chicago & Chicagoland
Another type of ADA lift is the pool lift. Large pools must have accessible entry points, which include lifts. Pool lifts can move disabled people safely from their wheelchairs into a swimming or therapy pool with a single attendant and little to no exertion.
