Vertical lifts are manufactured to service a height of 14 feet (over 12 feet usually requires a variance). Many two-story building lobbies, choir lofts, warehouse offices, movie theatres and stadiums use vertical lifts in lieu of commercial elevators.

The most common type of vertical lift is the self-enclosed toe-guard model. A 42 inch cab telescopes out of the hoistway to meet a stationary 42 inch upper landing gate. All gates are interlocked so that they cannot be opened unless the platform is at the appropriate level.

Common vertical lift characteristics are:

	Two person, 750lb. capacity limitation
	Perfect mezzanine accessibility solution
	Available to serve elevations to 14’3"
	Code limits to 12’ – waiver required to 14’ 3"
	Available to serve two or three stops
	State of Florida requires all two-story buildings to be accessible… but not necessarily with use of an elevator
	Can be installed in their own Plexiglas and steel/aluminum enclosure
	Hoistway or enclosure must be solid walls – no open rails
	Minimal 3" pit or no pit with stationary ramp
	Self-contained – no machine room
	Plain & functional or customized
	Upper landing requires minimum 42" enclosure
	Outdoor full-height Plexiglas enclosure with dome requires forced ventilation system
	Lower level automatic fold-up gates are not code compliant anymore
	Travel distance must be concealed at lower level with platform is elevated
	"Toe-guard" style is achievable with lower door or double gates
	Five square feet of "turnaround" space required at each entrance/exit
	Cab configurations: straight through, enter/exit same side, 90 degree on/off
