Are your stairs troubling you?

Chairlifts, also known as stairlifts, are a reliable, safe and easy to use mobility solution for people who have trouble when tackling the stairs. There is a wide range of chairlifts, including those made for straight and curved indoor staircases and those made for outdoor staircases.

Perched Stairlift

There are even chairlifts specially designed and manufactured for those of us who have difficulties bending our knees. These chairlifts are called perch chairlifts (stairlifts). These allow people to stand or perch on the chair lift instead of having to sit down, which can reduce any pain that sitting may cause them.

Chair lifts also come with a range of features, both standard and optional. The features include safety features, for example a seat belt to ensure the user is secure when using the chairlift; electronic and mechanical braking systems to make sure the chair lift cannot perform an uncontrolled descent; and pressure sensitive safety surfaces which ensure the chair lift comes to a stop if there is an obstruction on the stairs. Other features of chair lifts include a swivel seat, a lockable isolation switch, and both paddle and infra-red remote controls. These all help in making the chairlift ride safe and comfortable.

All in all, chairlifts are useful, practical and reliable pieces of equipment which allow people who have difficulties with stairs to go up and down them safely and comfortably.
