A nursing home in Brisbane, Australia, is preparing to install a vertical platform lift to bring elderly residents with mobility issues who use wheelchairs to the second floor. The scene is as follows.
Based on the site conditions, we recommended a vertical platform lift. We strictly adhere to Australian AS1735 certification.
