LIFT-U® Division of Hogan Mfg., Inc. in Escalon, CA has manufactured and sold devices to provide access to wheelchair users since the late 1970s. Starting with city transit bus wheelchair lifts and ramps and then moving into providing wheelchair lifts for architectural applications. LIFT-U®’s architectural lift line up consists of the AccesStair® Convertible Stairway/Wheelchair Lift, the Accessor I & II Courtroom Wheelchair Lifts, and the Accessor III Performance Lift. The AccesStair® combines stair and lift functions into one unit, maximizing the efficiency of the space. The Accessor I & II Courtroom Wheelchair lifts provide access for the judge, witnesses, clerks, and jurors without detracting from the surrounding aesthetics. The Accessor III Performance Lift was born from requests from our clientele to use the same mechanism as the Accessor I to provide access to a higher elevation while providing a lift that harmonizes with the design of the architect. LIFT-U® is an industry leader in innovative design and application engineering. Our their newest barrier removal product – the Accessor Convertible Walkway (ACW). This product provides a horizontal walking surface for use by everyone until a sloped surface is needed for wheelchair access. With the push of a button, the ACW becomes a sloped surface for the wheelchair user and then, automatically returns to the horizontal position.
