Access your elevated porch or deck with
an outdoor Trus-T-Lift™
Sometimes mobility issues can prevent
people from enjoying the outdoors. Accessing a deck or verandah
can become a safety hazard when ascending or descending even the
smallest flight of stairs.
By installing a deck or porch lift, you
can easily come and go in your home.
Trus-T-Lift™ Deck lifts can be
configured to heights up of 14 feet
Outdoor lifts from RAM can be used in
numerous applications. Some examples are multi-level decks,
porch access, flood plane home access, and accessibility.
Well built to withstand extreme weather
conditions
Designed for extreme heat or cold,
Trus-T-Lifts™ are reliable, durable and work year-round in all
weather conditions.
The electrical and mechanical systems
are flood-proof and located above the top floor level, which is
why RAM’s Trus-T-Lift™ has become the outdoor lift of choice
used in a number of the Gulf Coast rebuilding projects as well
as for house raising application in the North East United
States.
Features and Benefits?
The Trus-T-Lift™ has a number of unique features that provide
significant value.
Soft Touch Paddles - many
people who have mobility challenges have a hard time with small
push buttons as well. RAM patented our Soft Touch paddle
controls that make it easy to know which lever to activate and
low effort as well. Even more, the control system makes sure
that you can’t damage the motor by pressing them both at the
same time and puts a delay in between pressing one and the other
to direction… just another little thing we think about for you!
Simple Design - when you look
inside a Trus-T-Lift™ there are very few parts. It might seem
easy but to get design to be simple, robust, and effective is
the art of great products. People like Steve jobs understood
this and brought the whole world new perspective about how
simple and intuitive takes a great deal of work. We’ve always
subscribed to the same type of philosophy at RAM and we hope our
efforts can help improve lives.
Geared Belt Drive - not all
drive systems are created equal and RAM’s has evolved yet again
with the Trus-T-LIft 750 design! We now have a geared belt drive
as part of the design and this type of arrangement is what keeps
your car engine running so well most of the time. By using a
gear belt we also avoid slipping and loss of load carrying
capacity. This is quite common in other belt drive, electric
motor designs. We also avoid all hydraulics by staying to a
purely electro-mechanical system.
Check out the video to get a really good
understanding of why this is so good.
All Electrical Components at the Top or On
Board - in some locations water and other debris
can cause significant concerns. By putting the motor, all major
electrical connection, bearings, and drive components at the top
of our lift tower there is a lower chance of damage during
severe weather as long as the platform is in the elevated
position. This is not the case with hydraulic solutions and many
other competitor products.
Limited or No Pit Required – if
you are using a porch lift or a lift that does not require an
enclosure/ hoist way/ shaft then RAM provides an automatic toe
plate ramp that allows for easy entry and exit from your lift.
In cases where you need to enclose the lift for safety code
reasons RAM has one of the lowest profile platforms available
and this will ensure that you don’t have to put in a large
approach ramp or deep pit to get access to your lift.
Indoor and Outdoor Design - RAM
is based in a area with some pretty extreme weather and we have
designed the Trus-T-Lift™ to handle both indoor and outdoor
applications.
Machine Roomless (MRL) -
all the equipment for the Trus-T-Lift™ is contained. This means
you don’t have to find extra space for hydraulics, or other
items in another part of you home or business. This may not
sound like an important thing but in high density areas or homes
that are looking at a lift as part of a renovation this can be
critical.

Trus-T-Lift™ Home Wheelchair Lifts –
breaking through mobility barriers
If you or someone in your home uses a
wheelchair, moving from room to room presents a challenge.
Access to upper and lower levels, both indoors and outdoors, is
difficult without relying on some type of assistance.
Residential wheelchair lifts give you the freedom and
convenience to move around your home. Whether you are in a
wheelchair, have trouble with stairs or are operating a scooter
RAM can help you with your accessibility challenges.
Wheelchair lifts are convenient and
compact
Residential wheelchair lifts raise you
from the ground up and are easy to install. The compact design
of a Trus-T-Lift™ is an attractive alternative to cumbersome
ramps, which take up significant living space. A home wheelchair
lift is an affordable solution and quickly puts you back in
control without having to invest in costly home renovations.
Portable Trus-T-Lift™ can be there when
you need it – to make your school, theatre, or church accessible
to everyone.
Festival planners, church committees,
education facilities and sporting events can use portable
platform lifts as part of their accessibility strategy. This
way, individuals who rely on the use of a wheelchair, scooter or
assisted walking device can safely and comfortably access these
areas as needed while the facility can more easily have access
flexibility.
*Please note: portable applications are
limited to a lift height of 52in and 550lb lift capacity for
safety reasons.
Lightweight materials make transport
easy
Trus-T-Lift™ Portable platform lifts
are lightweight and sit on wheels that can be unlocked for easy
transport. These features help to move portable lifts to
and from multiple locations. Just store it away when it’s not in
use.
For most
applications a
Commercial Trus-T-Lift
Vertical Platform lift
– is a safe and reliable consideration for church, school, or
group home
Designed for use indoors or out, and
able to lift 750 pounds to heights up to 14 feet, a RAM
commercial vertical platform lift provides safe, dependable
access for individuals who find it difficult to walk up or down
the stairs.
A commercial vertical lift makes sense
in public spaces for many reasons
Side Access Manual Crank - want to make
emergency option more easily accessible?
Trus-T-Lift™ by talking with one of our customer support
specialists or one of our dealer partners.
Custom Colors - RAM colors are standard
black and light grey but we can also do custom colors to allow
your lift to blend in with your home or building.
Safety Interlocks - RAM can provide safety
interlocks to increase the safety of use for your lift. This can
be particularly important for taller lifts and when lifts are in
either public spaces or with children around.
Multi-Stop – RAM can make Trus-T-Lift™ with
up to 3 stops if required.
Stainless Steel Hand Rails – some times
people like a hand rail to hold on to during the elevator travel
and RAM can add a stainless steel hand rail when requested.
Extended Warranty – RAM can offer extended
warranties on parts. Our standard warranty is 1 year on parts
but for additional charges we can offer extended warranties of
1, 2, 3, and 4 years.
Power Back Up Systems – RAM’s Tower of Power
(ToP) product can be easily added to the Stratus and you can see
all the details of this robust and reliable system
here.
Phone Systems – RAM can offer 2 way
communication systems or a phone upon request or as part of code
requirements in some commercial projects.
Auto-Door Operators – are you concerned
about being able to open and close doors? RAM can provide
auto-door operators that are able to open, close and provide
adjustable delays for those opening and closing cycles should
you feel that is a benefit in your home.
Custom Platform Sizes – in some cases our
standard size just won’t fit in the space you have. RAM is one
of the few manufacturers that will do custom sizes. We can do
the impossible but we will do our best to advise you on what is
in your best interests.
Full Height, Flush Mount Doors – to meet
safety codes such as ASME A18.1 and CSA B355 lifts that are
required to go in a fully enclosed shaft or hoistway will need a
“flush mount door”. This is not always an easy thing to find.
RAM makes our own flush mount door that will help make your
project easier to complete and it includes a completely
integrated safety interlock and lift call button that will allow
for easier installation.
