The straight stair lift is the perfect choice for anyone with a two-story home with a straight staircase or a single story home with a basement. The smooth start and stop features of the straight stair lift ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
Here are some of the standard design details:
- The traditional straight stair lift is designed to move up and down one straight flight of steps.
- No unsightly structural work is needed for a stair lift; it fits directly to your stair treads rather than to the wall.
- This is the simplest stair lift design and the least expensive model of stair lift available.
- The arms, seat and footrest all neatly fold away on the stairlift, allowing for smooth stair passage for non-lift users.
- The lift can be ‘called’ or ‘sent’ up or down the stairs whenever it’s needed, making it easy for multiple users to control the stair lift.
- The swivel seat turns and locks in either a 45° or 90° position, helping you to get in and out of your stair lift, easily and safely.
- In situations where two flights of stairs meet at a landing, as a cost-saving measure it is sometimes recommended that there be one straight stair lift installed for each flight of stairs, with the user transferring from one lift to another at the landing. The decision to do so would be dependent upon the prognosis of the individual as it relates to any possible progression of their disability.
