How we repair your Harmar Platform Lift
A platform lift is a vertical or inclined wheelchair lift that raises an open or enclosed platform a short distance, such as up a porch or between levels, using a screw, chain or hydraulic drive. A platform lift uses a drive motor or hydraulic pump, a drive system of chains, belts, screws or cables, limit switches, safety sensors and a control board. A technician checks power and controls, safety devices, and the condition and alignment of the drive system.

Quick checks you can do safely
- Make sure all gates and doors are closed and latched.
- Check that nothing is under the platform.
- Confirm the key switch and power disconnect are on.
- Clear leaves, snow and debris from an outdoor lift.
- Hold the control button for the full travel, since most lifts use constant pressure.
Safety first: A platform lift can crush feet or objects beneath it, so keep the area under the platform clear and never bypass gate locks or safety switches.
