Important Points About A Stairlift
-
The Stairlift rail mounts to "stair
treads", not to your wall. It is required that your stairs be in sound
condition.
-
If the width of your stairs is less than
37" The biggest issue will be the distance of the track from the wall.
Also the height and the leg length of the intended user effects this.
-
If intended user is short, then an area
to pay attention to is the seat height at the bottom of the stairway.
