Ease of installation
Ascension wheelchair lifts are designed with a pitless configuration, which eliminates the need for excavation or a recessed pit. All Ascension lifts are installed directly on the finished floor, reducing site preparation, minimizing construction costs, and simplifying the installation process.
Space-saving design
Many wheelchair lifts require a separate drive tower or lifting column next to the platform. The lifting mechanism on Ascension lifts is within the side walls of the lift. This delivers a sleek, modern appearance while significantly reducing the overall footprint. Ascension lifts can use 10% to 30% less floor space than many other wheelchair lifts.
Barrier-free access
Ascension wheelchair lifts are engineered to provide a flush, barrier-free entry and exit, which eliminates the need for access ramps at the platform. This reduces the overall installation footprint, simplifies project planning, and minimizes site preparation.
Open, windowed platform
Our lifts feature large, unobstructed viewing panels that provide an added level of confidence and support. Riders can see the whole environment and caregivers, family members, and facility staff can maintain visual contact.
Pricing and ordering
Every project is unique, so we work with you to identify the right lift model and configuration for your space. Then, we coordinate with an authorized installer and provide a complete proposal that includes freight, installation, permitting (if required), and any additional project costs.

Lead time
Lead times are based on our current production schedule and can change based on demand. The typical lead time is 10 weeks, but custom configurations or specialized options may take longer. Contact us if you want to discuss your project’s timeline.
Installation
Installation of fixed lifts should be done by a qualified elevator contractor or an experienced installation professional who is familiar with local building codes, accessibility requirements, and vertical transportation equipment.
