Stairway lifts can be operated with or without a wheelchair. They can be operated by one person or can be operated by multiple people using two or more seats. There are many different types of wheelchair accessible stairway lifts. A traditional chairlift may be operated with one wheelchair and one-hand hold, but there are some chair lifts that allow two or more wheelchair users to ride together. A wheelchair accessible stairlift can be designed to provide greater comfort and safety for users who use these lifts.
Electric wheelchair lifts: An electric wheelchair lift is a type of chair lift that uses electricity instead of a battery power source to operate the lift. The electric motor powered by a chairlift provides power for the lift. Electric wheelchair lifts are usually operated by a remote control or by a push button, which can be installed on a hand grip, or attached to the hand rail.
Wheelchair platform lifts: These lifts consist of a wheelchair platform attached to a vertical shaft extending from the roof of the house to the floor, with handholds installed at regular intervals along the platform to allow wheelchair users to enter and exit the lift. The lift can be operated manually, or with a remote control, or with the use of an electrical motor.
Portable stairlift: The other type of stairlift is a portable stairlift. These are designed to be operated by one or two wheelchair users and can be moved from one location to another if needed.
