A stair lift a suitable solution for a person who has difficulty with walking but is not wheelchair bound, such as the elderly, a person with severe arthritis or after a stroke.
A stair lift has a seat that is fitted on a rail running up the side of a staircase.
Stair lifts need to be custom made according to the height, length and gradient of the staircase. Gradient changes such as a landing, curvers or corners need to be considered. The chair is foldable so that it can be out of the way for normal use of the staircase.
A chair lift is usually able to swivel between 90 ° and 180 ° to make it easier to climb on and off safely. It usually has a control switch or joystick mounted on the chair and one on the wall at the bottom and top of the staircase.
