Factors to Consider Before 
Making a Decision

Is a VPL Better Than a Ramp?

Vertical platform lifts require significantly less space than modular ramps. Since ramps require 1′ of length for every 1″ of rise, a VPL is often the more practical solution for limited spaces.

Will My Mobility Device Fit?

Yes. With a 750 lb lifting capacity and five platform size options, the Highlander II accommodates most mobility devices, users, and caregivers.

Is It Easy to Operate?

Absolutely. The Highlander II features the Big Blue Paddle, making controls easy to see and use. Once secured, simply press and hold the up or down arrow for smooth travel.
