Key Questions
Weight and height of user? Ability to transfer to seat of stair chair lifts ? Stairs straight or curved? If curved, shape of curve? Stair chair lift on left or right of stairs looking up from bottom? Width of stairs in inches? Width of stairs constant? Is there an existing hand rail?
Key Points
- Rail mounts to stair treads, not to wall. Stairs must be in sound condition.
- If your stairs are narrow (less than 37") than the track distance from the wall will be a key issue. This factor is also dependent on the height of the user and their leg length.
- If you have difficulty transferring to the seat of the chair then seat height will be a key issue.
- Seat height at bottom of stairs is an important point if client is short.
- If you have lower back pain and a soft start and stop are important then DC powered residential stair lifts maybe more appropriate.
- If user is tall then seat depth of the access stair lift is important.
- Stairway must have adequate lighting at top and bottom of stairs.
- Confirm local government requirements for electrical plug.
- Track must be allowed to come all the way to the top landing and bottom landing for safe transfer to the seat of electric stair chair lifts.
