Wheelchair Lifts in Missouri & Kansas

Apex platform lifts for porches, decks and entrances

Vertical Platform Lifts for Homes and Commercial Spaces

Whether you are retrofitting a school, a church, a business or your own home, a vertical platform lift improves wheelchair access without a full elevator shaft. These wheelchair lifts are compact, code compliant and well suited to tight spaces where a ramp or an elevator is not practical.

Our experienced team helps you weigh the options. The Apex series meets national and local safety standards and comes in four models: the Apex Green, Apex Hydro, Apex Complete and Apex Elite.

Platform Lifts That Open Up Homes and Buildings

One step is enough to stop a wheelchair. We install Apex wheelchair lifts that carry a rider and chair past porch steps, deck stairs and interior level changes in homes, churches, schools and workplaces around Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Wichita.

We survey the site, check what local code calls for, and handle delivery, installation and a full demonstration.

Why Choose a Lift Over a Ramp

These lifts travel vertically, so they occupy little more ground than the platform itself. That makes them practical on small city lots where a full-length ramp will not fit. Our overview of vertical platform lifts covers how they work and what they need.

Open or Enclosed?

  • Under a covered entry, an open lift such as the Apex Green is usually enough.
  • Where the lift faces wind, rain and winter ice, an enclosed model protects the rider.
  • For a public building, we match the lift to the code requirements.

For steps inside the house, a stair lift or home elevator may suit better.

Wheelchair Lift FAQs

How long does it take to install a wheelchair lift?

Once the base and the power supply are ready, installation is usually completed quickly, often within a day.

Can a platform lift be used inside the house?

Yes. Platform lifts are used indoors at split levels, sunken rooms and the steps between a garage and the house.

Will a wheelchair lift carry a power chair or a scooter?

It depends on the platform size and the weight rating. Power chairs and scooters are heavier and longer than manual chairs, so tell us what you use and we will match the lift to it.

Is a wheelchair lift safe to use alone?

Yes. Platform lifts are designed for independent use, with hold-to-run controls, a non-slip surface, a safety gate and sensors that stop the platform if something is in the way.
