Stair Chair Lifts

Stair Chair Lifts Can Be Your Freedom Machine…

The most popular mobility devices today are the stair chair lifts.

These devices have come a long way since they were first designed in the 1930s.  Stair chair lifts are used in homes and businesses to enable persons who are unable to use stairs to get to other floors easily, safely and in comfort. 

One of the most important things for any individual is to be independent and have the freedom to move about as easily as possible, especially in one's own home.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for millions of people worldwide as sickness, injury and old age reduces their mobility.  But wait, a stairlift can change all that. 

Residential Stair Lift 

A home stair lift also referred to as a residential stair lift, can be a lifesaver for the person who has problems getting up and down stairs and wants to maintain their independence.

With a home stair lift someone with a physical disability will no longer be forced to avoid upstairs activities.

If the home stair lift is needed for a child, most can accommodate a child car seat if the child is too small for the standard stair lift chair. The child's car seat is secured to the chair lift with the provided seatbelt just as it is used in a car.

Stair lifts, as the name implies, are chairs that act as a lift to move people or objects up or down a stair way. The unit consists of a few basic parts: a carriage which includes the seat and accessories, the rail on which the unit is affixed and the track on which the chair runs. They are normally made from steel and aluminum parts for durability and strength.

Stair Lift Buying Tips

Before buying a stair lift, know the following information, as it will make your buying decision easier:

 The weight of the person who will be using the home stair lift
 The height of the user
 What kind of disability or mobility problems the user has
 Will the user be able to operate their stair chair lift with a joystick or remote control
 What type of stair case is in the home, that is, straight, curved, spiral or combination
 How reliable is the electrical supply
 Are there any zoning laws that require special electrical wiring for the stairlift
 Will you need a technician to install your home stair lift or will you do it yourself
 What type of stair lift do you need, perch / standing or sitting
 How much can you spend, as this will help you decide if you need a new or recycled home stair chair lift

A home stair lift easily climbs the stairs for you so that you don't have to.  So before you decide to leave your home, because you can no longer climb the stairs safely, look into getting a home stair lift system.

Safety standards are strictly adhered to ensure that your home stair chair lift is safe for you and any other members of your household.  Some people call the lifts their freedom machine!
