A
stairlift, stairglide, or stairway chairlift, is a sturdy chair assembly unit that travels up and down a steel rail that is mounted
to the staircase. Stairlifts may be straight, curved, or custom-fitted
to the home. For any style of stairway, WesternElevator can provide
a custom solution.
Our stairlifts deliver a comfortable, secure ride, controlled with the simple touch of a button. When not in use, the seat and footrest fold in, allowing everyone in the home plenty of room to use the stairs. |
