5 INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS DELIVER RELIABLE AND EASY USE
Guardian System:
The Guardian System uses four bright LED lights to provide continual performance feedback through a series of codes. No matter what, you’ll know your lift is ready, how it’s operating, if batteries are low, or when maintenance is due.
Use the simple-to-follow guide on the Highlander II to determine the vertical platform lift’s health status.
-
SmartSense
The SmartSense PC board monitors the motor temperature, cycle count, battery status, and other features to help prevent issues that could affect the Highlander II’s performance.
-
Steady Drive
Harmar’s new VPL offers a smoother ride, thanks to the Steady Drive’s high lead ACME screw. As the VPL moves, the screw rotates 75% slower than the competition, leading to significantly reduced vibration as you ride. This reliable gear replaces traditional pulleys, which often means fewer maintenance visits.
-
ReadyUPS
Call in for backup in the event of a power outage! The ReadyUPS is an optional “Battery Backup” system known as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This power supply automatically activates in the event of a power outage, providing a minimum of 5 complete up-down cycles.
-
Big Blue Paddle
Small switches can be hard to find and operate. While remaining in your mobility device, you can operate the lift by pressing the easy-to-use Big Blue Paddle to enjoy a stable, smooth, and quiet ride. Please note that this feature is not available on three-stop units.

Frequently asked questions
-
A vertical platform lift (VPL) is a mobility solution designed to safely lift a person while they remain in their wheelchair, scooter, or other mobility device. Unlike a stairlift, which requires the user to transfer into a seat, a vertical platform lift allows you to roll directly onto the platform and travel between levels. This makes VPLs an excellent choice for homeowners who use wheelchairs or power chairs and want safe, independent access to porches, garages, decks, or elevated entrances. Salt Lake Stairlifts installs high-quality vertical platform lifts throughout Utah for both indoor and outdoor applications.
-
A vertical platform lift is often a better option when there isn't enough space for a long wheelchair ramp or when the elevation change is too great. Because ADA-style ramps require approximately 12 feet of ramp for every foot of vertical rise, they can take up a significant amount of yard or driveway space. A vertical platform lift provides a compact solution that lifts you straight up while allowing you to remain in your wheelchair or scooter, making it ideal for many Utah homes.
-

Whether you need access to a porch, deck, garage, or raised entrance, Salt Lake Stairlifts can recommend the right outdoor lift for your property.
