Overview
Innovation is at the heart of this next generation Vertical Platform Lift. The Stratos VPL is an outstanding choice for vertical lifting solutions in the home or in light commercial settings where an elevator is impractical or unnecessary.
Features:
- Guardian System: 4 bright, high-contrast LED status lights give continual performance feedback from the lift's control board. Monitoring almost every critical system, Guardian can provide immediate feedback and guidance.
- SteadyDrive: Ensures a smooth, quiet and stable lift.
- ReadyUPS System: True battery back-up option that can deliver at least 5-cycles in the event of power loss.

A Little About Myself Retired a little mechanically inclined. |
Pros I bought the unit already assembled, and it was easy to install. Everything was as the sales Rep. explained. Delivery was prompt. All I needed was a 120v electrical outlet and help moving the unit into place(Myself and 2 other men). Once in place, anchor the unit to concrete, with the 4 anchors provided. If I find out anyone needing a vertical lift, I would recommend AmeriGlide. |
Cons None. |
Service & Delivery Was prompt. |

My lift did not come assembled!!!!

A Little About Myself I help take care of my mother and father-in-law. |
Pros Very easy to use. We love everything about this lift itself. |
Cons This vertical left took 4 hours to put together..... It was even going to be preset to a specific height. Absolutely nothing was put other. We did have some directions but they did not help one bit. Steps were completely left out. It was like trying to part together a jigsaw puzzle with your eyes closed. |

replies:
Thank you for your review. We apologize for the assembly problem as we switched from a fully assembled unit to a partially assembled one and this was not communicated to our staff. We have corrected this for future customers. The Hercules lift can now be ordered to arrive fully assembled in a crate as an option. We have also improved our assembly instructions for those who choose to complete the assembly themselves. Again, we apologize for this mistake. |
