When a ramp will not fit, a platform lift will
Some entries are just too high for a ramp. A safe ramp needs about a foot of length for every inch of rise, so a four-foot porch would need a ramp close to fifty feet long, which most yards do not have room for. A vertical platform lift solves that. It carries a person in a wheelchair or on a scooter straight up the rise on a stable platform, in a footprint about the size of the platform itself. Peak Pro Home Services assesses, measures, and installs Harmar vertical platform lifts across Yakima and Central Washington.
An authorized Harmar partner
We partner with Harmar, one of the most trusted names in home mobility and the same manufacturer behind our stair lifts. The lift is built for daily use and backed by a real manufacturer, and it is measured, installed, and serviced by a local team you can actually reach.
Built for real entries
Vertical platform lifts work at porches, decks, split-level entries, and raised landings, indoors or out. The platform has safety sides and a gate, a non-slip surface, and simple controls, and it runs on a rechargeable battery so it keeps working in a power outage. For someone who cannot manage steps and does not have room for a ramp, it is often the most practical way in and out of the home.
We measure it ourselves
Because our own team assesses and measures for platform lifts, we can move quickly and keep the cost down, rather than waiting on an outside specialist. We look at the rise, the landing, and the approach, recommend the right Harmar lift, and give you a firm price before any work begins.

FAQs
Home accessibility is about making it easier and safer to live in the home you love, whether that means getting through the front door, moving between floors, or feeling steady in the bathroom. If you are caring for a loved one, these decisions carry weight, so here are the questions we hear most often, answered plainly.
Frequently asked questions
What is a vertical platform lift?
A vertical platform lift is a powered platform that carries a person in a wheelchair or on a scooter straight up a vertical rise, essentially a small outdoor elevator for a porch or raised entry.
When is a platform lift better than a ramp?
When the entry is high and space is tight. A safe ramp needs about a foot of length for every inch of rise, so a tall porch can need a very long ramp. A platform lift fits where that ramp will not.
How much does a vertical platform lift cost?
A vertical platform lift typically runs about $30,000 to $50,000, depending on the rise and the model. It is a significant investment, essentially an outdoor elevator, and the right fit for a specific set of homes. We give you a firm price at the free in-home assessment once we have measured your entry.
Where can a platform lift be installed?
At porches, decks, split-level entries, and raised landings, indoors or out. We confirm the right spot at the free assessment.
Who measures and installs it?
Our own team assesses and measures, and we install it to code. Doing the measurement in-house keeps things moving and holds the cost down.
Does Medicare or insurance help pay?
Coverage varies by plan, and many treat a platform lift as a home modification rather than medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans and Washington assistance programs can help. Ask us and we will share what we have seen.
