stair lift price

Stair lifts allows aged and handicapped people to live a normal life. It is a pretty new technology that has surfaced recently that allows people who have difficulty walking up and down the stairs. An electric rail is installed on the side of the stairs and the handicapped can sit on the seat and with a press of a button, it will bring the person up the stairs. It’s similar to how a monorail works except on a littler scale.

Of course, installing a step lift is non cheap and before buying or renting a step lift, there are a couple of points you need to take note.

Type of Stairs

The prices of stair lifts will depend on the type of stair lifts you plan to purchase or rent. And this will depend on the type of stairs you have in your house. Generally speaking, curved stair lifts ar more expensive than straight rail stair lifts. Other types of stair lifts such as wheelchair platform step lifts, outdoor step lifts and goods step lifts are also available.

What You Need

It can be hard to determine the best type of step lifts for your house. In this case, I would extremely recommend you speak to the step lift company first before buying one. Get quotations from different stair lift manufacturers before deciding which is the best. Also factor in the warranty period, cost of installation etc as it can be quite costly to repair or install a step lift.

Stair lifts prices are dropping tremendously as more and more people start to realize the benefits of stair lifts. If you can’t afford to purchase a stair lift, most step lift companies also provide stair lift rental service. It is much more affordable and the cost of installation and warranty is already accounted for.
