Curved Stair Lifts – Safe Accessibility Solution for Complex Stairways
Posted: Jan 04, 2016
If your home in New Jersey has a curved or spiral staircase with one or more turns and you have family members with mobility problems, then installing a curved stair lift would be the ideal solution. With a stair lift, your loved ones can overcome the challenges of negotiating stairs. Featuring a motorized seat that runs along a track attached to the side of the stairs, the device takes the user up and down the stairs safely and comfortably in a seated, standing or perched position. Established suppliers of accessibility products custom install curved stairlifts on complex stairways with bends, spirals and multiple landings.
Fully Featured for a Safe and Comfortable Ride
Leading manufacturers offer innovative models of stair chair lifts integrated with advanced features to provide a smooth, safe ride. Many models feature a slim-line foldaway design that allows the lift to be folded and kept out of the way when not in use, thereby allowing the smooth flow of regular stair traffic. Typically installed on either the inside or outside path of the stairs, these lifts comes with safety features such as –
- Swivel seat
- Seat belt
- Safety sensors (automatically stops the lift operation if any specific obstruction is encountered)
- Lockable key switch (to prevent unauthorized use)
- Hand-held remote controls (allows users to ‘call’ or ‘send’ the lift up and down the staircase)
