Elevators and well-constructed and maintained ramps allow for independent use by persons who use wheelchairs or scooters, and by others who cannot use stairs. They are also used by the general public, easing the way for those with children in strollers or with shopping carts.
Platform lifts are permanently installed elevating devices designed to transport wheelchair users on a platform that moves vertically between levels. Platform lifts usually require a key for operation. Entry and operation is often restricted to minimize misuse of the device.
New construction is required to be accessible to persons with disabilities or use ramps or elevators to overcome changes in levels in a manner that provides equal access. Platform lifts often leave barriers to aide persons with disabilities, and accessible portable or permanent ramps may be required.

South Carolina is roughly triangular in shape. The long, even coast lined with beautiful sand beaches on the “Grand Strand” north of Georgetown becomes generally marshy to the south and is sliced by a network of rivers and creeks, creating a maze of inlets and the famous Sea Islands. The coastal climate is humid subtropical, with long, hot summers and short, mild winters. In this area are found cypress swamps, moss-hung oaks, beautiful flowering gardens, antebellum plantations, and the historic seaports of Georgetown, Beaufort, and Charleston, the latter a major tourist attraction and one of the chief ports of entry in the Southeast.
