Wheelchair Lifts for Marine
Applications
The Mobilift VX
is an affordable, multi-purpose wheelchair lift that
provides handicap access to boats in a variety of
locations and environments.
The Mobilift VX is designed to
be a commercial wheelchair lift for use in marine
settings. The units are constructed of lightweight,
corrosion resistant aluminum. The light weight feature
allows ease of mobility in the dock area. The
corrosion resistant properties of aluminum ensure that
the VX will be safe to use and will retain a good
looking appearance, without the problems associated
with rust. The Mobilift VX is currently being reliably
used in a variety of tour boats, historic boats and
ferry vessel applications. The Mobilift VX will be
compliant with proposed ADA regulations governing
wheelchair access for boats.
Handicapped Access for
Wharfs, Docks and Marinas
Unlike most vertical platform
lifts the Mobilift VX is manually
powered so it is easy to use, highly portable, and
requires no electricity. The absence of batteries,
hydraulic and electric components makes the lift
extremely reliable and virtually maintenance free.
Mobilifts can be customized to
accommodate unique situations. With its reasonable
purchase price, the Mobilift VX is an
economical way to make your location accessible
immediately.
