Stairlifts

A Stannah stair lift is a chair that travels along a rail close to the edge of the stairs.
The rail is attached to a few stair treads, not the wall.
Installation takes about four hours.
The chair is powered by batteries which recharge automatically when not in use.
The charger is plugged into a regular outlet.
At the top of the stairs the chair swivels to face safely onto the top landing.
Weight limit: 350lbs (straight stairs); 265lbs (stairs that turn); 300lbs (outdoors).

Minimum: three steps.
Maximum: about 26 steps (straight), no maximum for model that goes around corners.
Minimum width: straight stairs - 27", stairs that turn - 29".
Construction: wood, metal, stone, concrete. Carpet is no problem.
Doors at the top or bottom are usually OK.
Handrails usually get relocated but can often be left if desired.
The outlet should ideally be within 10' of top or bottom of stairs, on the same side of the stairs as the stairlift.

Most of our customers get a Stannah so they can stay in their own home.
They can usually walk on flat ground but find stairs difficult.
Wheelchair-users can use a stair lift if they can transfer from one chair to another.
The user (or helper) pushes a button to make the chair go - it's designed for arthritic hands.
A key prevents unauthorized use.
