Inclined Platform Lift:

The Pegasus by The National Wheel-0-Vator Co.

 

The Pegasus provides you with the ability to ascend or descend any staricase with ease. It is uniquely designed to escalate around your accessibility problems, accomplishing what most would view as an impossible goal. No matter what the application- indoor, outdoor, straight, or curved stairways- the Pegasus is the answer.

Our 32"x48" platform is the largest in the industry. The larger platform size allows access to a great variety of wheechairs. In spite of its spacious dimensions, the unit protrudes less than 12 1/2" from the wall when folded.

Our inclined platform lift is available with an optional side loading ramp. This option is designed to provide the user with easier access to the platform from the side, thus reducing the amount of bottom landing space required to enter or exit the platform.

 

Safety Devices:

  • Pressure sensitive features stop the unit upon encountering an obstruction
  • Over speed safety
  • Safety barrier arms
  • Ramps fold to safety position
  • Emergency stop
  • Holds up to 525 lbs

Options:

  • Manual folding platform and barrier arms-Model LX
  • Folding seat
  • Platform Lock
  • Stainless steel or galvanized rails for outdoor applications
  • Integrated handrail

By simply holding the call button on the hall station, the Pegasus Model CD will arrive at your landing and unfold. The safety barrier arm goes up to the vertical position and the access ramp folds down to allow the user to enter the lift.

The Pegasus is equipped with either a mini-drive or maxi-drive depending on the application. Our unique "maxi-drive" system is designed to traverse a distance of 200 feet, depending on the stairway configuration. For typical installations that require less than 40 feet of travel, we provide our "mini-drive".

Vertical Platform Lifts:

Model BC- Acme Screw Drive and the Model HBC- Hydraulic Drive: by The National Wheel-O-Vator Co.

The BC and HBC models are manufactured as an unenclosed lift. This unit is often installed within a vertical runway enclosure built by others. In some commercail settings, where the travel distance is less than 5 feet, a BC or HBCC may be installed unenclosed. Because of its versatility, this model can overcome architectural barriers in a variety of different settings. Common applications include: churches, libraries, restaurants, and schools. Each vertical platform lift is manufactured to conform to ANSI A18.1 Safety Guidelines. Check with local authorities for code regulations.

Model CDE- Acme Screw Drive and Model HCDE- Hydraulic Drive: by The National Wheel-O-Vator Co.

CDE and HCDE models are manufactured with a steel runway enclosure to eliminate the need for a separate enclosure to be built on site. A structural steel framework is used on indoor enclosures, while an aluminum framework is used on outdoor units to prevent corrosion.

A 3-gate CDE is used to reduce the enclosure height. therefore providing a cleaner "line of sight" for the user.

Model PCDE- Acme Screw Drive and Model HPCDE- Hydraulic Drive: by The National Wheel-O-Vator Co.

The PCDE and HPCDE models come equipped with a factory supplied enclosure with either clear or tinted acrylic panels. These attractive models allow light into the runway and permit the user to see outside the unit during operation.

A main control panel is found on the side guard of each vertical lift. This panel consists of a pressure switch and an emergency stop button.

Model WOV 355: by The National Wheel-O-Vator Co.

The WoV 355 is a vertical platform lift that looks like an elevator. This model has a 1:2 roped hydraulic drive and full height interior platform walls. A suspended style ceiling with florescent lighting is also provided to complete the enclosure. Similar to our other vertical models, the control panel buttons on the WOV 355 require constant pressure for the lift to raise and lower.

Model RE- Acme Screw Drive: by The National Wheel-O-Vator Co.

The RE model unit is designed with the homeowner in mind. The lift is similar to the BC model; however, the platform side guards and gates are only 36" tall thus making the unit "for residential use only".

The RE model is an affordable alternative to lengthy, costly, and unsightly ramps. The lifting heights of 24", 42", 60", and 72" will satisfy most applications. For heights greater than 72" a BC model may be used.

Model BC Portable Vertical Platform Lift: by The National Wheel-O-Vator Co.

The portable vertical platform lift can be an ideal solution for access to a stage or platform. Since the unit is equipped with wheels, it can be moved when access to the stage is not necessary, and the room needs to be used for other functions. In some cases, a variance may be required.
