Wheelchair Lift

A wheelchair lift is a device used to assist wheelchair users in entering and exiting vehicles. It typically consists of a platform that is connected to an electric motor, which is then connected to a track. The platform is attached to the vehicle and the user is able to be lifted up and down from the ground to the vehicle. This device is designed to reduce the physical strain and energy required by the user to enter or exit the vehicle. It is also designed to provide a safe and secure platform for the user to move around.

Wheelchair lift, vehicle access, disability aid, mobility aid.
