The Mac's PL50 is designed for everyday residential use. Its low platform, automatic access ramp, protective rails and constant-pressure controls are intended to make boarding, raising, lowering and exiting easy to understand.
The manufacturer describes the PL50 as easy to operate, easy to install and virtually maintenance free. Its steel structure and weather-resistant finish make it suitable for the demanding conditions common to outdoor porch-lift installations.
