| Residential Wheelchair Lifts
Wheelchair Lift was designed and engineered for home use. It's easy to operate, easy to install and virtually maintenance free. Every safety detail has been carefully designed into these lifts. Including a non-slip platform, constant pressure switches, a low platform for easy roll-on/roll-off, safety barrier and railing, and rolled edges.
Residential Wheelchair Lifts have maximum lift heights of either 50 inches or 72 inches. These Wheelchair Lifts are sturdy enough to lift and lower up to 500 pounds and will accommodate electric wheelchairs and scooters. Running on a gear box and chain, these wheelchair lifts provide a smooth and quiet up and down ride, requiring little maintenance. All mechanics are fully enclosed, yet are easy to access through the rear or front of the housing unit. The wheelchair lifts are completely weatherized and attractively finished in off-white.
Seeking solutions: New buses may help city's struggling transit ...
Public transit is Lynchburg is struggling with deficits and bus-maintenance problems that often leave paying customers without a reliable way to get to work or to the doctor. But there may be several solutions, both long-term and short-term, that could strengthen a system that many of the city's working poor depend upon. Over the past several weeks, The News & Advance spent more than 20 hours riding nearly every Greater Lynchburg Transit Company bus route, and has interviewed numerous riders. The newspaper also reviewed hundreds of documents detailing maintenance work and costs after filing a Freedom of Information request. Those interviews and documents show that the GLTC faces severe maintenance issues and growing costs to provide service, including rising fuel prices.
9/11 legacy lifts Giuliani's 2008 prospects
America's still-vivid memories of that miserable morning five Septembers ago may be brightened by recollections of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's focused, confident performance on 9/11. The ongoing good will his leadership generated may explain why he outpaces potential rivals for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. Polls last month showed Giuliani waxing on the right, despite misgivings that conservative GOP voters may have with him on abortion, gay rights or gun control. _ Among 432 registered Republicans and pro-GOP independents surveyed by CNN and Opinion Research Corp., 31 percent favored Giuliani for the nomination, while 20 percent backed Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. (Error margin: +/- 5 percent.) _ In Strategic Vision's studies, Giuliani trumped McCain, 42 percent to 28 percent, among Republicans in Florida and 44 percent to 24 percent in Pennsylvania.
