Trends

“Designs are becoming more user-centric. Customers want quality, effective products that also fit with their decorative tastes and lifestyles.”
— Peggy Eyre, marketing manager, Uplift Technologies Inc.

“Lifts and ramps are the ultimate cash sale for those dealers willing to become knowledgeable about how to sell and install them. There is no easier way to increase the bottom line and cash flow. We see a growing trend in the bariatric and micro markets. The ability for lift and ramp companies to accommodate both sides of the spectrum is paramount.”
— Chad Williams, president, Harmar Mobility

“Lifts are getting lighter in weight and have more weight capacity. People are looking for a product that will blend in with the environment in their homes, not products with an institutional look to them. The market is growing by leaps and bounds.”
— Gary David Nowitz, vice president, sales and marketing, Liko Homecare
