Wheelchair Stair Lift | Wheelchair Stair Lifts

Is getting up and down stairs a problem for yourself or a family member?  Consider installing a wheelchair stair lift.  Built specifically to assist individuals who find it difficult to climb stairs, stair lifts for disabled people are motorized seats with a track mounted to the wall that will safely take you or your family member with a disability up a stairway.  Lifts for stairs can be battery operated, plug in, or be hardwired to your home’s electrical system, and they usually don’t require any structural changes to the steps other than fastening hardware.

A lift for stairs can be a good idea for homeowners who have a hard time getting around without a wheelchair, or have other physical disabilities that make it difficult or unsafe walking up stairs.  A professional local mobility dealer can typically install a wheelchair stair lift without damaging the walls of your home, and there may be colors to match your home’s decor.  A wide variety of stair lifts are available, but the biggest factors to consider are the seat wideness and weight limit or load capacity.

Used wheelchair stair lifts are hard to come by, as these mobility devices are typically custom installed to fit each staircase they are needed.  Some mobility dealerships may be able to make modifications on a used stair lift to allow it to work in you home.  These mobility stores may also have additional mobility equipment you might find helpful like wheelchair vans, wheelchair accessible vehicles, wheelchair lifts, scooter lifts, hand controls for driving disabled, and more.
