UpLift and the ClearSight Seating System give venues a flexible way to improve the wheelchair user experience, increase the value of wheelchair accessible seats and generate more revenue from the spaces you already have.
UpLift is a first-of-its-kind device that revolutionizes access for people who use wheelchairs to attend live events and other height-relevant places. UpLift literally elevates the concert, gaming and workplace experience for wheelchair users, greatly increasing the appeal and value of your wheelchair accessible seats.

Event attendees who use wheelchairs are regularly disappointed by seating location, low quality lines of sight and the limited number of people who can join them. Accessible seating also represents underutilized space for venue operators, creating a lose-lose proposition for both wheelchair users and venue owners.
The Problem
Accessible seating is often an afterthought. The diminished spectator experience discourages wheelchair users from attending events, resulting in many accessible seats going unsold. For many venues, fixed accessible seating is not always easy to convert to regular seating, indicating a measurably underutilized asset.
The solution
UpLift devices raise a wheelchair user to the height of a bar, counter or average standing person, allowing for a richer guest experience. They are relocatable to a variety of places in your venue, providing exceptional flexibility in how ADA-compliant seats are deployed. Wheelchair users have expanded choice, and venues can disperse accessible seating throughout the venue on demand, rather than holding seats indefinitely.
With UpLift, venue operators and facility managers can attract an underserved market and grow the bottom line by elevating accessibility and delivering remarkable experiences for more guests.
Before
After
Fully participating in certain events and venues is often off-limits to wheelchair users, who may opt out rather than face a disappointing experience. UpLift equalizes experiences to expand enjoyment for more users and increase revenue for facilities.
Wheelchair accessible locations for concerts, shows and sporting events are typically less than ideal in providing seat choice, quality sightlines, and being able to sit with friends. UpLift creates more seat options from a greater variety of locations that are more fully integrated with the crowd.
A genuine bar experience depends on actually sitting at the bar. Gaming tables have a similar problem, where being eye-level with your fellow gamers is key to winning. UpLift opens authentic bar and game table seating for more guests.
Counter-height surfaces in universities, drafting rooms and research labs often require modifications for wheelchair users. UpLift’s flexibility allows institutions to use a standard room design while delivering a more equal experience.
“The UpLift’s ability to provide a person unassisted access to public facilities creates a more inclusive environment in so many settings and is a life-changing device for people in wheelchairs.”
