Enclosed Wheelchair Lift
An ADA Compliant Wheelchair Lift Ideal for Tall, Narrow Spaces
The Ascension Clarity enclosed wheelchair lift is ADA compliant and can reach heights up to 14 feet. It needs only 4 feet of clearance for installation on your finished floor– no access ramp or installation pit required. Select optional features, custom colors, hardware, and window etching to meet your needs and blend seamlessly with your design.
Ascension Clarity Models
The Clarity features several configurations based on the following:
- Configuration – whether the lift comes with its own enclosure, or is ready to be installed in a shaft.
- Entry and exit path – whether the rider enters and exits the lift on the same side or whether they enter on one side and exit on the opposite side.
Choose your lift based on the needs of your project and code requirements. Contact an Ascension accessibility expert to talk about which option is best for you.
