Stair lift Specs.
Of the three common alternatives for providing access between floors (residential elevators, stair lifts or stair lifts, and platform lifts) the stair lift is by far the least expensive option.
Straight stair lifts range in price from 2. 5k – 4k, and between 4k – 15k for retrofitted curved models. As the complexity of the stair design increases so will the installation costs. Curved rail lifts require a highly detailed on-site survey prior to order and can take up to 3 months to be built and delivered.
Stair Lift Specifics – Special Thanks to www. StairLiftExchange. com for an awesome website that features different types of stair lifts.
Drive Type – There are 4 types of Stair lift drives that are available for consumer purchase.
Many manufacturers have discontinued their cable, chain, and screw drive systems, with the exception of their heavy duty models. Rack & pinion are the one’s mostly used today. However, Drum and Cable systems are amazing too!
Rail / Track – The track used with a stair lift is secured to the stairs. Steel and aluminum are the primary metals used in manufacturing the tracks. Steel is often used for custom engineered applications, where as Aluminum is typically found in straight applications because of its lighter weight and interchangeability.
Power – Most Stair lifts today are powered by batteries or a domestic mains supply. Either AC (mains supply) or DC powered (battery). AC powered units use a trailing mains cable that is said to be less reliable than the DC battery powered units. Furthermore, the trailing cable needs to be reeled out and reeled back in, each and every time the stair lift travels up and down the stairway. AC powered units can be recharged anywhere along the track, whereas DC powered units can only be recharged at the base stations at the top and bottom of the stairs. There are several states where they prohibit the installation of AC powered equipment unless you are a fully qualified electrician.
There are two types of Station Charging:
Swivel Seat – To safely access the upper landing of the stairs, one must swivel the stair lift seat onto the landing. A lock release lever allows the seat to turn. Some seats have a single or dual release arms.
There are two types of swivel seats:
Diagnostics – Many newer stair lifts offer a self diagnostic system that can help diagnose problems with your lift and decrease maintenance costs.
Accessories – There are a number of accessories available to complement your Stair Lift. These accessories are great for individuals with additional mobility difficulties and/or more complex stair configurations.
Installation – Many stair lifts are manufactured so they can be easily installed. Some individuals decide to install it themselves while others prefer to have them installed by the manufacturer. Most stair lift manufacturers will have measurement and installation guides readily available on their websites and are very helpful if you have any questions.
