WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN CHOOSING A STAIR CLIMBER?

What is important when choosing a stair climber?
Old infrastructure limits the ability to travel, go to shops, cultural sites or work. One of the most difficult daily tasks for a person in a wheelchair is going up and down stairs. Happily, today we have portable stairlifts to help solve a critical problem. Choosing a stair riser is not an easy task, so it is very important to consider their parameters and existing circumstances.

The main thing is not to forget to measure

The stair climber you choose must fit on the stairs and be maneuverable. Therefore, before buying these helpers, it is very important to measure the width and height of the stairs. If your home has a spiral staircase or an island between several steps, it is also important to note. In other words, the more measurements and facts you have, the better!

Take a look at the main features of the stair climber

One of the most important things in a battery is the battery. Be sure to find out how long it takes to charge the battery and how long it works. This feature is especially important for those who often go outdoors or to places where there is no way to charge the battery. Also think about the compactness of the helper. It should be easy to assemble and disassemble, have a convenient insert.

Think about the obstacles ahead

It is very important to consider the existing conditions of the house when buying a ladder. It is useful to measure the width of the door, to make sure that there are no additional barriers on the ground. If a stacker is needed not only at home, but also in the office, it is important to consider the conditions of the office.

Don't be afraid to book a consultation

Most professional stair lift suppliers offer their own consultation. They come to your home and measure everything themselves, inspect the conditions and offer the best option. Consultants show how the hoarder works, how to correctly place and operate it. Without encountering these devices, consultation helps to avoid many problems.

Consider the price

Last but one of the most important aspects is the price. Usually the price depends on various things such as battery quality, spare parts, warranty or delivery fee. The price may include training services, annual maintenance services.

What are the types of stair climbers?

Although there are various models of stair climbers on the market, there are two main types you should look out for when buying a stair climber for the disabled:

1. Stair climber with integrated seat. It is perfect for elderly and disabled people who can get up and walk from one place to another. These stair climbers are compact and suitable for small spaces and narrow stairs. They are also great for travel.
One of the available stairlifts of this type in Lithuania is the Stepped stairlift N961. It makes it easy to climb up and down straight and spiral stairs. The N961 adapts to the patient's needs - it has adjustable head and leg supports and comfortable folding armrests. The stacker weighs 43 kg and can lift up to 130 kg. He climbs 21 cm high steps when the width of the stairs is at least 80 cm. The tiller is easy to maneuver in a space of 70 x 70 cm wide and has an additional battery.

2. A stairlift with an attachment for a wheelchair. This hoarder is suitable for people in wheelchairs who have difficulty moving from one place to another. This ladder allows you to quickly and conveniently attach a wheelchair and move on various types of stairs.
When choosing from crawler stair climbers, LG2004 and LG2004 Basic are among the most popular. Both climbers are based on the latest technology, so they are easy to maneuver in smaller spaces and are lightweight. The LG2004 Basic doesn't have a 360-degree swivel feature, but the tiny wheels on the back help with maneuverability. The LG2004 model is ten kilograms heavier, but has the latest feature - the ability to rotate 360 degrees and is a great helper in particularly tight spaces. Both climbers are economical and can lift up to 150 kg.
Both types of stair climbers are usually electric or battery powered and have an excellent braking system that makes it easier to move up and down the stairs.
Before you make your final decision, remember that a stairlift will be a long-term investment, so make sure you buy the one that suits you best.

A stair climber is an opportunity for the disabled to live more comfortably!
