Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a vertical platform lift and a LULA elevator?
A vertical platform lift is a hold-to-run system designed for short-rise travel between floors — typically up to 14 feet — with a smaller footprint and simpler installation requirements. A LULA (Limited Use/Limited Application) elevator is a fully automatic, enclosed cab elevator designed for low-traffic commercial and residential settings with greater travel distances and higher weight capacities. Access Lifts Florida installs both and can help you determine which solution fits your space, budget, and building requirements.
Do you install vertical platform lifts for commercial properties?
Yes. Access Lifts Florida installs VPLs in restaurants, boutique hotels, retail spaces, churches, and other commercial buildings across Florida. Commercial VPL installations must meet ADA accessibility standards and Florida Building Code requirements — our team handles compliance planning, permitting coordination, and inspections from start to finish.
What are the platform size requirements for a vertical platform lift?
Most residential VPLs start at approximately 36″ x 48″, which accommodates a standard wheelchair. Larger platform configurations are available for bariatric wheelchairs or installations that need to meet full ADA clearance dimensions. Access Lifts Florida sizes every platform to the specific user, space constraints, and code requirements of the project.
What are Florida’s code requirements for vertical platform lifts?
Vertical platform lifts installed in Florida must comply with ASME A18.1 safety standards and applicable sections of the Florida Building Code. Requirements cover maximum travel height, platform enclosure, emergency lowering, non-skid surfacing, and electrical specifications. Commercial installations may carry additional ADA requirements depending on building classification. Access Lifts Florida reviews your project’s code requirements before work begins and coordinates inspections through final sign-off.
How long does a vertical platform lift installation typically take?
Most residential VPL installations are completed within two to three days, depending on the complexity of the site and any structural preparation required. Commercial projects may take longer if ADA modifications, concrete work, or permitting coordination is involved. Access Lifts Florida provides a detailed installation timeline during your initial consultation so there are no surprises once work begins.
