Msi Mobility

Some buildings have structural configurations in the floor that cause problems for employees moving materials when using wheeled transport. We recommend laying down threshold ramps to traverse the barrier and make movement through the building easier.

Semi-automatic platform handicap lifts involve a person physically folding the dais when not in use. The dais is that portion of the lift on which the wheelchair sits. An automatic lift unfolds and folds automatically. Both lifts elevate and lower the dais with a push of a button.

While ramps are a wonderful alternative to stairs, they can be challenging to people who have mobility issues, but who do not use a wheelchair; for people who have breathing or heart issues; and for people who have to push their own wheelchairs. Handicap lifts eliminate this challenge.

According to the car experts at Edmunds, technology offers a diverse range of solutions for drivers with mild to moderate mobility challenges. They recommend carefully evaluating specific limitations in advance, and then researching both custom and more generally available alternatives.

The first modern stair lift was invented by C.C. Crispen in Pennsylvania in 1923. A friend of his had been immobilized due to polio, which made it hard to get to the second story of his house. Crispen invented a chair that ran along a rail, and called it the "Inclin-ator."
