Stair lifts and stair climbing aids

A stairlift is a mobile seat or platform that can transport a maximum of one person up or down a flight of stairs.

These products are permanently installed on existing stairs and move up and down along the stairs using a rail. In addition to a permanently installed seat, there is also a version with a platform so that wheelchair users can also use stairlifts. There are also stair climbers that are mobile.

Stairlifts usually have to be individually adapted to the spatial conditions. In addition, the seats are also equipped differently. For example, there are models with or without armrests, footrests or folding functions. Alternatively, a standing platform with grab rails can be used instead of a seat for narrow stairs. The stairlift can be operated via a lever control on the armrest or via a remote control. Many models also have a call button at the respective end stops.

Stairlifts with platforms can only be used on wide stairs. The platform is secured by a railing, a folding barrier or a roll-off safety device. The control unit is usually connected to the lift by a flexible cable.

Stairlifts are not among the assistive products covered by statutory health insurance.
