Vertical Platform Lift Installation in Camden, SC for Elevated Lake Home
From Frustration to a Reliable Accessibility Solution
This project began when a homeowner contacted us after struggling to get follow-up service from another local company. He had already completed the required concrete slab and electrical work for a VPL installation, only to be left without support to move forward.
After reaching out to us, we quickly scheduled an on-site vertical platform lift assessment in Camden, SC on 3/17/26. Our technician evaluated the prepared installation site along the side of the home’s deck and discussed both accessibility needs and long-term goals with the homeowners.
Accessibility for Elevated Lake Living
Because the home is elevated near the lake, stairs had become increasingly difficult to navigate. The homeowners needed more than just a mobility solution—they wanted a safe and efficient way to transport groceries and everyday items up to the home as well.
We provided two wheelchair lift options for home use, along with brochures and examples of previous installations to help guide their decision.
Choosing the Right Vertical Platform Lift
A major priority for the homeowners—especially the wife—was finding a lift that would blend seamlessly with their outdoor space. After learning we had completed a similar VPL installation nearby, they visited a neighbor’s home to see the lift in person.
Seeing the polycarbonate side panels firsthand made all the difference. They appreciated the clean look, added safety, and how well it complemented the home’s exterior.
After careful consideration, they selected the Atlas Nano Vertical Platform Lift with polycarbonate side walls, offering the perfect balance of function, safety, and design.
Custom Features to Match the Home
To ensure the installation matched the home’s existing structure, the homeowner requested custom 6x6 support posts for the upper landing gate, complete with a decorative engraved detail to match their deck.
Our team was able to accommodate this request, creating a seamless, cohesive look. The homeowner coordinated with their painter to complete the finishing touches immediately after installation.
Professional VPL Installation Completed Ahead of Schedule
Once the deposit was received and the lift arrived, we scheduled and completed the vertical platform lift installation on 4/23/26, ahead of the homeowner’s requested deadline.
The installation process went smoothly, and the same-day painting of the posts and fascia panel brought the entire project together beautifully.
The Final Result: Safe, Convenient, and Visually Seamless
The end result was more than just a wheelchair lift—it was a complete accessibility upgrade. The homeowners now have:
- A safe and reliable way to access their elevated home
- An easier method for transporting groceries and household items
- A visually appealing lift that blends with their deck and outdoor space
They were extremely pleased with both the performance and appearance of their new vertical platform lift.
