Accessibility Solutions -- a Recent Case Study

Stair lift technology has developed rapidly over the last few years and these products are available for both straight and curved stairs with a variety of rail types.

Stair lifts for curved stairs are custom configured and as a result cost more than straight stair lifts.

A custom made curved lift that Silver Cross installed recently for a client may be the best option. However, there are alternatives that may be more appropriate depending on the abilities of the client, the configuration of the stairway and budget considerations.

One option is the installation of a recycled lift. Silver Cross recently had a client couple both of whom were having difficulty climbing the stairs. A custom made curved lift was not within their budget and, a combination of two straight lifts with a transfer on the landing was not an adequate solution.

Silver Cross located a recycled curved lift that was a close fit and took it to the client’s house so they could see how it would look before they made their decision. They were happy with the fit and the resulting installation saved them many thousands of dollars. They are delighted with the result that has enabled them to stay in their home.

For comparisons on lifts and other accessibility and mobility products visit Silvercross. Agencies and professionals have found it useful to help match client needs to product options.
