Platform lifts as well as inclined stair lifts, both of which suit only one individual, can be used to overcome modifications of elevation varying from 3 to 10 feet (.9 m-3 m) in height. However, many States have limitations on the use of mobility device lifts, so all relevant codes need to be examined thoroughly before setting up one. Inclined staircase lifts, which carry a wheelchair on a system up a trip of staircases, may be utilized selectively.
