What To Look For In Wheel Chair Stair Lifts
When stairs become a challenge, unfortunately our loved ones must often be hand carried or lifted in their chair step by step. The installation of a wheelchair stair lift alleviates the difficulties of moving up and down the stairs and provides a safe, efficient and better method of travel.
As the name implies, wheelchair stair lifts are pretty specific as to their use and a more than just stair chair lifts for the disabled. Different than a regular residential lift, (which are basically a rail fitted to the wall of a staircase, with a seat that travels up or down the rail, usually with a chair attached.) These devices are invaluable for people who's mobility is impaired sufficiently that negotiating stairs is not safe anymore.
However wheelchair stair lifts are a little different, as rather than a electric home stair lift (where the passenger must be able enough to sit themselves down in the chair), the wheelchair models are designed specifically for wheelchair bound users, and rather than having a seat, they usually have a "platform" where the the user can wheel the chair onto and securely attach it to this platform, which then becomes the device that travels the rail, between floors.

A good example of a wheelchair stair lift is the Garaventa X3-R Residential Inclined Lift. Some of the features of this model are:
Different to vertical platform lifts, these models are designed to be a part of the staircase itself, as opposed to a stand alone residential lift, that requires pretty massive home alterations to install. Look for other quality wheelchair stair lifts by companies such as Brooks, Ameriglide, Ada, and Bruno to name a few, and remember the Internet is your friend when doing your research. |
