Moving up and down the stairs is a difficult task for people who have problems with mobility. A stair lift makes life easier for them and provides independence of movement.

A chair lift is a chair that is attached to a track bolted down to a staircase. This lift can be used to carry a person up and down the stairs with just the push of a button. Well! It can also be used for other purposes, like carrying groceries, luggage, laundry and anything else.

Chair lifts also have swivel seats that turn away from the staircase and come with remote controls that signal the lift to come to a particular floor. So as not to occupy too much space, they also have a folding track at the lower landing area. They can be fixed on any side of the staircase. This installation needs to be done by a professional.

There are several types of stair lifts available, of various shapes and sizes.

Chair lifts are better now than what we used to get earlier. They are less noisy and entail no risk of malfunctioning. A small joystick is used to operate them. They come with a remote control to enable operation from either the top or bottom of the stairs.

The stair lifts have a comfortable seat and a footrest. The start and stop movements are very smooth. The swivel seat helps the person using the stair lift to get into the seat and get out easily.

Stair lifts also use a rechargeable battery and need to be recharged when not using. This battery helps when there is no power and ensures that the lift does not stop in the middle. They also need to be parked correctly in their place, or else there will be a signal letting you know that you have parked it wrong.

All safety measures are taken care of in the making of a stair lift, to ensure there is no hazard. They stop functioning when there is a problem with the seat, footrest or armrest, and automatically stop when they reach the bottom or top of the stairs. These lifts can also be locked so that children do not use them.

Stair lifts make life easier for you and your loved ones and will give you the peace of mind that a loved one is safe and will not fall down the stairs.

When stairs become an obstacle, it is a low cost alternative to creating separate rooms and shifting people to the ground floor and arranging things to be near them. With a chair lift, the house can be left as is without any changes and the disabled person is as independent as before. It also reduces the wear and tear of the ankle joints, hip joints, and knees, especially if one is not supposed to walk too much.
