Recreational vehicle portable handicap lift

Abstract

A portable lift designed for a person with limited mobility to independently gain access to and from a recreational vehicle. This easily installed lift allows a person to raise him or herself to the floor level of a recreational vehicle. The front ramp contains a chain which when hooked inside the lift prevents the user from inadvertently rolling off the platform. The lift breaks down into simple sections that can be placed in storage compartments for travel. The permanent mounting brackets allow the lift to be installed within five minutes.
