Platform Lifts by Bruno
Use a platform lift to overcome the obstacle of climbing steps. Often called a wheelchair lift or porch lift, a Bruno platform lift is a cost-effective home accessibility solution to give scooter, wheelchair or powerchair users an alternative to navigating entryway or deck steps.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose A Bruno Residential Platform Lift Vs. Ramp?
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.
How Are Platform Lifts Powered?
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.
What Prep Work Is Needed For A Platform Lift Installation?
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.
Where Are Most Platform Lifts Located In The Home?
You will most often find residential platform lifts on porches or decks to provide access into the house from the outside. In some cases, people need a platform lift in their garage for access into the house.
How Much Does A Residential Platform Lift Cost?
The price of a Bruno vertical platform lift varies depending on configuration, model and any chosen options. Application site prep work, required electrical work and permits (if necessary) can also impact the final cost. Bruno's local dealers provide free quotes and consultations to ensure they recommend the right Bruno platform lift solution for your needs.
What Are Common Options For A Residential Platform Lift?
A Bruno residential platform lift includes everything needed for proper, safe usage of the device, but there are also several popular options. As the lift travels upward, the platform ramp folds to stop a mobility device from rolling backward. An optional platform gate can give an extra level of safety and security. Rather than pulling a platform gate open manually, some people also choose to add a power operator that opens the platform gate with a push of a button. There are also many optional platform sizes to accommodate various size mobility devices.
