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.
Handi-Ramp® 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.
A story of survival: Hope gives strength to family of one injured ...
WOODBURN, Ore. - On the wall in the basement bedroom Jared and Amy Nelson share - his hospital bed snug up against her quilt-covered queen - hangs this cross-stitched message: "The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time."
That simple, framed sentence holds a truth that Amy has learned to live in the year since a van full of Utah State University agriculture students returning from a field trip crashed near Tremonton.
Eight classmates and their instructor died Sept. 26, 2005. Jared Nelson and another student, Robbie Petersen, survived.
While Petersen is back at USU, Jared, who turns 23 on Sunday, spends his days in a wheelchair, being ferried to doctors and therapists from Portland to Salem, Ore.
