Able Care Group rents two kinds of wheelchair lift across 14 New Jersey counties and 5 New York counties. The vertical platform lift is for a home or a building that needs access to a raised entrance, deck or stage for a set period. The Mobilift CX is a portable lift that needs no installation, no power and no permit. Both carry the person while they stay in their wheelchair.
Vertical Platform Lift Rental
A vertical platform lift carries a wheelchair or scooter straight up to a raised entrance, a deck or a stage. Renting makes sense when the access has an end date: a recovery, a season, a project or a run of performances. It also makes sense while a permanent installation is still being planned and permitted.
Our platform lifts install indoors or outdoors, reach heights of up to 14 feet and carry up to 750 pounds on a 36-inch-wide platform. Each comes with safety rails, and outdoor units have all-weather protected controls.
Portable Wheelchair Lift Rental: the Mobilift CX
The Mobilift CX arrives in the back of a van. It rolls into place, a person cranks it by hand, and the platform rises up to 60 inches. Then it goes back in the van. It needs no pit, no shaft, no electricity and no permit, so nothing about the building has to change. It lifts up to 600 lb.
That makes it the answer for places where an alteration is not on the table:
- Stages and events: a graduation, a performance or a ceremony
- Polling places and other temporary public uses
- Historic buildings where a permanent lift is not allowed
- A building waiting on a permit for the lift it will eventually install

Wheelchair Lift or Stair Lift?
A wheelchair lift raises the person on a platform while they stay in the wheelchair, so nobody has to transfer out of the chair. A stair lift is a seat that carries the rider along a rail, so it suits people who can still walk a little and get on and off a seat. If the stairs curve and the rider can transfer, we also rent curved stair lifts, something very few companies do.
Wheelchair Lift Rental: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent a wheelchair lift for an event?
Yes. The Mobilift CX is built for exactly that. It needs no installation, power or permit, and it goes back in the van when the event is over.
Can I rent a platform lift while a permanent one is being permitted?
Yes. A rented vertical platform lift solves the access now, while the permanent installation is still being planned and permitted.
Do you rent wheelchair lifts for businesses and public buildings?
Yes. We rent to homes, halls, stages, polling places and buildings across New Jersey and New York. For permanent ADA projects, see our commercial and ADA solutions.
What if the need becomes permanent?
