The PL-72 wheelchair lift is engineered for homeowners who require extended vertical travel up to 72 inches. This residential vertical platform lift is ideal for higher porch landings, elevated decks, split-level garages, and entryways where a shorter lift or ramp would not provide sufficient access.

For moderate multi-step elevations, the PL-72 serves as a reliable home elevator alternative without the complexity or structural modification required for a full residential elevator system.

Extended Rise Wheelchair Lift
PL-72 Residential Wheelchair Lift for Higher Elevations
The PL-72 residential wheelchair lift delivers up to 72 inches of vertical travel, making it the ideal solution for elevated home entrances and larger height transitions. When ramps become too long or space becomes limited, this vertical platform lift provides a clean, efficient alternative.
Whether installed outdoors at a raised porch or indoors for garage-to-home access, the PL-72 offers dependable operation and a streamlined footprint for homes requiring extended rise capability.
Precision Screw-Drive Lift Mechanism
The PL-72 relies on a precision screw-drive system that delivers steady, controlled vertical movement across the full 72-inch travel range. This design minimizes exposed mechanical components and reduces maintenance compared to chain-driven alternatives.
Adaptable Platform Entry Configurations
The PL-72 accommodates two entry layouts to match your site conditions:
Straight-Through – Board and exit on opposite sides
90° Entry – Board and exit at a right angle
This adaptability is especially useful for higher landings and split-level transitions where space is limited.
Ergonomic Platform Controls
Clearly labeled directional buttons are mounted directly on the platform for convenient, one-touch operation. Oversized contact areas make the controls accessible to users with limited hand dexterity or mobility.
Integrated Residential Safety Systems
The PL-72 includes a keyed lockout switch to restrict unauthorized access and a platform-mounted emergency stop for immediate response. These systems work together to provide consistent, reliable safety across every cycle.
Dual-Level Height Control & Redundancy
Primary limit switches set the upper and lower stopping points, while independent secondary limits provide a built-in backup layer. This dual-level approach ensures the platform stops precisely and consistently, even under extended daily use.
Optional Backup Power System
The PL-72 runs on standard 120V household power. An optional battery backup module is available for continued limited operation during power outages, helping ensure accessibility is not interrupted when it matters most.
For homeowners requiring greater vertical reach, the PL-72 provides a durable and space-conscious residential wheelchair lift solution. Frequently selected as a porch lift or elevated deck access system, it delivers dependable vertical transportation without the complexity of a traditional home elevator.
