Stair lift platform or stair lift chair: what to choose?

By equipping your house with a stair lift platform or a stair lift chair you will bring to your home a very trendy charm currently. This additional element of comfort will contribute to enhance its value and bring you complete satisfaction. Here is some information to help you make your choice.

Join thousands of satisfied customers around the world by installing a platform or stairlift chair to ensure you live independently and on the move. First of all here is some basic information to make your choice easier. Firstly, the stairlift allows people with reduced mobility to continue using the stairs without any effort. Simply sit on the chair, fasten your seat belt and your stairlift, with its built-in motor, will take you to the other end of your staircase. Secondly, the lifting platform contributes to the autonomy of people who need crutches or a wheelchair and who can easily access the different levels of a house thanks to this installation. This device is also called a lift for persons with reduced mobility.

Just as the platform climbs stairs, the special platform lift for the disabled promotes the independence of people dependent on a wheelchair. The platform lift for the handicapped works much like a mini lift: The wheelchair accesses a lift platform via a folding ramp. The descent and ascent of the lift platform are controlled by a long range wireless switch system. A control box on the bearings allows the disabled lifting platform to be called. The safety of the installation is ensured by a barrier or a door that folds before starting. The platform lift for the disabled is ideal for people with reduced mobility who do not have the possibility of using the stairlift or the financial means to afford a mini lift. The stair lift platform is also better suited for those who do not have enough space to install a masonry or self-supporting shaft lift. The platform lift for the disabled is a little more expensive than the stairlift. It can involve more work, depending on the configuration of the housing. Depending on the platform model, approximately €10,000 is required. This means that, under certain conditions, it is possible to benefit from financing aid. The choice for either of these facilities will in fact depend on the type of disability.
