Creating your perfect forever home means investing in features that allow you to maximize every moment and enjoy every square foot with peace of mind. At RAM Elevators + Lifts, we know that accessibility has become one of the most important luxuries for modern homeowners. Today’s market demands more features that make it easier to navigate and age in place safely. While we often talk about solutions inside the home, exterior accessibility is equally important, especially for those whose property sits hillside or features multiple exterior levels. Enclosed exterior vertical platform lifts (VPLs—sometimes confused with the term elevator) are one of the best investments you can make in your comfort and safety at home. They offer the perfect long-term mobility solution while also increasing your property value.RAM is pleased to introduce our new FlexLift VPL Model, which offers more configurability for both indoor and outdoor usage than ever before. Read on to learn more about the benefits of exterior home lifts below!
Why Homeowners Choose Enclosed Exterior Elevators
North America is home to a wide variety of beautiful landscapes, with cities like Vancouver, San Diego, and more offering incredible properties carved into cliffside areas and multi-level landscapes. While these areas are breathtaking, they can require a little more effort from an accessibility standpoint. RAM’s enclosed VPLs are designed to solve these challenges without costly renovations or the need for major structural modifications. Whether you’re looking to eliminate stairs, future-proof your home, or simply make outdoor access more seamless for everyone, our enclosed Flext Lift model has you covered.
Benefits of RAM Exterior VPLS include:
Navigate Steep Properties Without Compromise
Hillside properties often feature stunning panoramic views but also come with the challenge of a steep driveway or multi-tiered outdoor space. For those planning ahead or with current mobility issues, this can be a point of concern and even anxiety when it comes to navigating your dream space. Fortunately, VPLs like FlexLift help eliminate worries by providing smooth, reliable access between entry points and making it easy to move from level to level. Designed for year-round use, exterior VPLs help remove the risks associated with slippery outdoor stairs, etc., to create safe and efficient movement no matter the weather.
Built for the Elements, Engineered for Performance
One of the best parts of installing FlexLift is that its high-grade design and performance make it suitable for a wide variety of environments, including the salt air of coastal properties and the frigid temperatures of some of North America’s coldest regions. FlexLift models feature:
- Weather-resistant materials for long-term durability
- Fully enclosed cabins to protect passengers from wind, rain, and snow
- Reliable performance in extreme heat, cold, or moisture-heavy environments
With minimal maintenance requirements and robust engineering, our lifts are designed to deliver years of dependable operation.
A Smart Investment That Pays Off
Adding an enclosed exterior lift improves your day-to-day living and increases your property’s resale value. Modern buyers are more aware than ever of the value of accessibility and convenience. Homes that integrate universal access and futureproof design elevate your asking price, meaning that you’ll be able to maximize your ROI should you choose to sell down the line.
Enhance Your Home’s Aesthetic
Modern VPLs like FlexLift are built to be as aesthetically pleasing as they are efficient and include features like:
- Custom finishes and materials to match your exterior design
- Glass panels for a sleek, modern look
- Compact footprints to integrate seamlessly into existing spaces
Exterior VPLs add luxury and convenience to every space, blending seamlessly with the architecture of your home.
The Best Solution for Aging in Place
As we mentioned, modern owners are more conscious of future living than ever before. An enclosed exterior elevator ensures that your home remains functional and comfortable for years to come. Whether you’re thinking ahead for yourself or addressing current concerns, FlexLift lets you stay independent and in control of your future.
