What do you think of when you first hear the term “chair lift?” Many people probably conjure up images of warmly dressed skiers being whisked up a tall mountain, all ready for an exciting day of downhill skiing. However, another kind of chair lift exists, and it’s a term that is very important for disabled individuals to know. A wheelchair stair-lift is an innovative mechanism that transports individuals in a wheelchair safely up or down stairs. A wheelchair stair-lift can also carry people vertically to higher levels of any domestic, public or commercial building.
Some people may already be familiar with the many forms of lifts currently available. They are very similar to an elevator in appearance and they can be found in many buildings. More commercial and public buildings are installing these convenient lifts thanks to the Disability Discrimination Act that was implemented in Oct 2004. The goal is to provide convenient access to buildings for every individual in the UK.
A wheelchair stair-lift is designed specifically to carry individuals who need to use a wheelchair. These lifts are heavier duty and often larger in order to accommodate the weight of the user and the wheelchair. They can be installed inside or outside of a building so that visitors can travel up and down any straight flight of stairs. Another advantage is that customers can move any portable wheelchair stair-lift to another convenient location. Some of the models even fold up neatly when they are not in use!
Individuals in wheelchairs can also purchase a wheelchair stair-lift to use in their home. This will allow them to travel up and down the stairs or access the front steps of their house with very little effort. You don’t have to be confined to a wheelchair to gain great benefits by purchasing a chair lift. Elderly, overweight or sick individuals will also find a domestic chair lift to be very helpful. This revolutionary apparatus can allow them to regain some of their freedom. A chair lift is also a much safer alternative than trying to climb a steep flight of stairs within your home each and every day.
