Below we have mentioned 3 essential features to look for while buying a stair lift. Take a look.
- Dimensions
Most of the stair lifts fit any type of stairway, but it is still recommended to measure your stairway before making the final purchase. Curved stairwells do require custom chairs because of the turns and bends. Some manufacturers ask you to bring the measurements while some may send their employees to measure your stairwell for accuracy.
- Weight Capacity
Every stair-assist chair has a maximum weight capacity. Make sure to buy a chair that gives you the right weight capacity or order to get a customized chair. The limit up to 400 pounds does not put too much pressure on your wall.
- Safety
It is important for your stair lift to meet the highest safety standards for the safety and security of its users. It should have safety hitches to make sure it doesn’t move until it’s firmly locked. Brakes, safety belts, and sensors along with easy-to-use controls are also necessary to stop the chair midway.
