Stair lift - 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 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 a DC powered stair lift maybe more appropriate.
  • If user is tall then seat depth of the seat is important.
  • Stairway must have adequate lighting at top and bottom of stairs.
  • Confirm local government requirements for electrical plug.
  • Stair lift track must be allowed to come all the way to the top landing and bottom landing for safe transfer to the seat.
