Short answer... No.
Alaska is "The Last Frontier"... these cabins weren't built with accessibility in mind. Many of the FS cabins require an airlift to get to, or extensive hiking. Even the marine accessible cabins aren't meant to be easy to get to. They were built as basic shelters for survival, and have become popular as a means of recreation.
Also, there's the issue of access to medical services that comes with a handicap or surgical recovery. When we book a cabin to camp at for a night, I go prepared for a week. If the weather rolls in and you can't leave safely, plan on staying there an extra day, two days, fifteen days...
Where would the power for a power lift come from? ;-)
