A portable platform lift is used to carry individuals in wheelchairs or mobility scooters up and down the stairs. As the name implies they travel straight up and down and the individual sits on a platform. There are many different types, but for some the portable version will be the best choice.
A portable vertical platform lift can be easily moved and does not require any permanent installation. These units typically plug directly into the wall, but there are some that are completely manual. Most ones that are electric powered also have a manual override in case the power goes out. Portable units are perfect for schools, churches, restaurants, and other public areas. Many businesses buy them because they have several areas that may need a platform lift and it is less expensive to buy one and move it.
A portable platform lift functions in the same manner as a non-portable unit, but they generally do not lift as high. If you need a lift that can span larger distances generally more than about 6', you will likely have to secure it to the ground.
