Ascension Virtuoso 5460P Vertical Portable Wheelchair Lift

"We have used our Ascension portable wheelchair lift for students and patrons of Beloit Public Schools for ten years. It's easily operated even for someone unfamiliar with lift operations. We are able to move it between buildings with a small flat-bed trailer. Since we are a small community, on occasion we loan it to the city for use in their auditorium. After ten years of service, the Ascension lift has been well worth the small investment."

"I would like to let you know that we have utilized our Ascension model SLA-2050ED. It has been in operation since the beginning of this school year and we are very pleased with the service it provides. As a result of using your lift, we were only required to modify a stair landing and supply an electrical outlet. Without your lift, we would have been forced to modify the whole west side of the gym. The small footprint of your lift and its ease of operation are the two main reasons we decided to go with Ascension. The third reason was its portability. Thanks again for your help in solving this problem."

“Duluth Public Schools owns several Ascension Portable Wheelchair Lifts. These lifts are used to provide temporary access to our auditorium stages at multiple school locations. The availability, portability and reliability of these lifts have allowed our schools to accommodate stage access for people with mobility impairments. Thanks for your ongoing support and your continued interest in our satisfaction as it relates to these Ascension products.”

“We use this lift during our graduation ceremonies when we have a student who is unable to access the raised stage to receive their diploma. Not only does this enable them to cross the stage with the rest of the class but the portability is a big plus. We have three high schools that have graduation on consecutive nights at different locations and this product has eliminated the labor & material cost to try & build one time use ramps, the space required for such a ramp system would take up valuable space & significant man hours. I would highly recommend this product for this and multiple other applications.”

“At the Peel District School Board we purchased an Ascension Vertical Wheelchair lift in 2004. This lift has been well utilized throughout our board to assist students during special occasions such as assemblies and graduations. The compact lift fits into the schools, of which most are older and were not built to accommodate students with disabilities, easily and without additional tech or maintenance support. It allows access to occasions for all students. It is easily transported. In summary the wheelchair lift has been a welcome and much needed addition to our school board.”

“We recently purchased two portable lifts for different school districts within the Province of New Brunswick (Canada). The lifts have far exceeded our expectations, and have become a valuable asset for our disabled students. From a procurement perspective, I would have to say that Ascension has been an awesome company to work with. They have cordially assisted us throughout every step of the process, in a timely manner, and provided us with the utmost professionalism and exceptional after-sales service. We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience of working with Ascension, and fully expect them to be a supplier who has a very long and prosperous future! I will recommend their product and exceptional service, whenever/wherever I can!”

“This is the first time our Provincial government has purchased a lift of this type for our school system and we really love the product! The lift was easily sourced on the internet and it's doing a fantastic job! The portability makes it irreplaceable, and the option to reduce the width to pass through standard single doors has made it possible for us to utilize the lift in an older school building as well. The video that accompanied the lift showed us exactly how to install and use it correctly - it's truly a very user-friendly product. Their Salesman continues to give us phenomenal follow-up service. He arranged for a smooth cross-border delivery, and continues to provide us with dedicated customer service. We will recommend this product any time that we can."

"We have been using an Ascension portable lift for the past several years in our various school buildings and are extremely pleased with it. We have found the lift to be easily transportable, quick to set-up, and convenient to use.
I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a wheelchair lift of this nature."

“Ponchatoula High School is very fortunate to have an Ascension Wheelchair Lift. We also share it with our elementary schools in our city school system. Everyone that uses it agrees that it is very easy to operate and is unobtrusive in our auditorium. The parents of our wheelchair students agree that it is a wonderful accommodation for our students.”

“We have been very pleased with the overall performance of our Ascension SLA-2050ESD portable wheelchair lift. The lift has been used primarily to access our stage areas in the gym. The lift has proven to be very easy to train staff and students to use. The safety features for this particular lift eliminate the potential for unsafe operation or misuse of the portable wheelchair lift. The lift is easy to transport and sets up in minutes requiring one employee to transport and set up. Overall the Ascension SLA-2050ESD has met every expectation our school district has for a portable wheelchair lift. Thank you!!”
