Why Choose the Multilift Wheelchair lift

Durable all-season performance

The Savaria Multilift vertical platform lift operates with continuous press controls, features a non-skid platform and travels up to 48″, or optionally up to 72″. The attached drive tower houses the motor eliminating the need for a machine room. It is an ideal lift for use with wheelchairs, power chairs and scooters to gain access from the ground level into the home either outside, or when installed in a garage.

Known as a workhorse lift, the Multilift is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Powder coated steel with a weather resistant lock, zinc-coated platform and drive mechanism contained in the lift tower, make this lift weather-tough.
