Abstract
A wheel chair lift includes a primary lift platform and a secondary lift platform. The primary lift platform is attached to a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the primary lift platform relative to the floor. The secondary lift platform is attached to a second lift mechanism used to raise and lower the secondary lift platform relative to the primary lift platform. The secondary lift platform can be used to elevate a mobility device off of the primary lifting device.
Claims1
A lift for elevating a wheeled mobility device 18 to a convenient height for performing work on the mobility device, the lift comprising:
- a primary platform 14 having a generally upwardly facing support surface;
- a primary lifting mechanism for raising the primary platform 14 to a working height that is convenient for working on a wheeled mobility cart supported on the primary platform 14 support surface and lowering the primary platform 14 to a loading height that is convenient for loading the wheeled mobility cart onto the primary platform 14 support surface;
- a secondary platform recessed in the primary platform 14, the secondary platform having a secondary support surface;
- and
- a secondary lifting mechanism for raising the secondary platform to an extended raised position that lifts the wheeled mobility cart off of the primary support surface and for lowering the secondary platform to a lowered position wherein the secondary support surface is low enough to permit the wheeled mobility device 18 to be rolled on to the primary support surface.
