Ascension Wheelchair Lifts
Before you commit to a ramp, discover how a vertical platform lift can help you save space, reduce construction costs, provide a better aesthetic, and improve accessibility in your commercial building.
Save space with an ADA compliant vertical platform lift
In commercial settings, space is valuable and often limited. Ramps need a lot of space to meet the ADA requirements for even a modest change in elevation. In storefronts, schools, or healthcare facilities, that space simply may not exist without impeding entrances, walkways, or affecting the flow of traffic.
Ascension lifts are ADA compliant and use 60% less square footage than ramps and 20% less than competing wheelchair lifts. On Ascension lifts, the lifting mechanism is in the walls of the lift rather than in a separate machinery cabinet on the floor, which results in a much smaller footprint.

Our wheelchair lifts reduce construction time and cost
Our lifts reduce complexity and preserve usable space, especially on commercial projects where a ramp would need to be very long, heavily customized, or integrated into an existing building.
Ascension lifts are pitless, so they are installed on your finished floor or surface. There’s no need to excavate, put in drains, or do additional site preparation for our lifts like with the competition. This keeps costs down and makes us a perfect option for renovation projects.

Not sure if a lift is right for your project?
Wheelchair lifts provide effortless access
Commercial buildings serve a wide range of users who may need accommodation for many reasons. Some will have some form of disability, but some may have arthritis, or be recovering from surgery or a broken leg, or be pushing an infant in a stroller. Vertical platform lifts provide direct, push-button access that minimizes physical strain for all of these users.
Because Ascension lifts are installed on your finished floor or surface, no ramp is needed to enter or exit the lift. Users can access the lift with a minimum of physical effort and get where they are going with the push of a button.
Ascension lifts complement your building, don't compete with it
There’s no way to hide a long ramp, especially at your building’s main entrance. And, if you are renovating or remodeling an existing building, you may have a difficult time matching the property’s aesthetic.
Lifts are easier to integrate into existing architecture and are often less visually intrusive. For projects where appearance, branding, or historic preservation matters, lifts may provide greater design flexibility. Ascension lifts can be customized to match any environment or aesthetic. We can match any color and our hardware and glass options ensure that you can achieve just the look you want for your space.
At Ascension, we believe that accessibility should be beautiful!
