Stairlift Reviews

Safety, comfort, and convenience are three factors that disabled patients need to have in getting up or down multi-storey buildings and even homes. A stair lift elevator can best answer all requirements.

Patients cannot just be kept in beds. In hospitals, they need to go some place else for check ups and tests. Most hospital wards are placed on upper floors and most check up and test facilities like the X-ray room, chemistry lab, ultra sound cubicle are located on the ground floor. Thus, stair lift elevators are usually installed near staircases for the safe and convenient transit of patients from lower to upper floors and vice versa.

A stair lift elevator is a box contraption accommodating wheel chairs or beds for patients. It is safe and secured with steel panel railings or other similar materials on all four corners, with a secure door and a ramp for easy wheeling in of the wheel chair or bed into the stair lift elevator.

Some stair lift elevators are operated by automatic jacks or piston-action motors. Motors of stair lift elevators are smooth and quiet to avoid unsteady lifting and unnecessary and uncomfortable noise.

A stair lift elevator usually lifts patients one or two floors at most, but rarely higher. For higher lifts, a conventional elevator is used. A stair lift elevator is for low flights of stairs which are too high for ramps but too low to warrant the use of a conventional elevator. Stair lift elevators are usually installed near or around a stair case.

For home use, a stair lift elevator is used in lieu of a chair stair lift. When the patient already has a wheel chair and transferring from a wheel chair to a chair stair lift is not convenient for the patient, the best option for stair climbing is a stair lift elevator. It is easily installed and dismantled for temporary use at home. It is fitted with remote control, quiet and smooth motor operation and emergency devices like wheel chair straps.
