Wheelchair Lifts
Symmetry’s wheelchair lifts are ideal for people who want full access to all levels of their home without the need for extensive renovations. Manufactured by Bella Elevator, our wheelchair stair lifts stand out from the competition with their simple operational controls, reliable functions, and extensive custom design options.
What’s the Difference between a Wheelchair Lift and a Home Elevator?
A wheelchair lift for home use typically features an open car with panels on either side of the lift platform, although some platforms may be enclosed by surrounding walls or shafts. This makes the installation of wheelchair lifts less intrusive than residential elevator installation, which often require space for a shaft, elevator pit, and/or machine room.
