Quote: inclined wheelchair platform lift
E.g.: moving a wheelchair along an existing staircase, without transferring out of the wheelchair
Describe stairs and landings with the actual wheelchair. Identify nearby doors, other circulation and assistance needs. Check boarding and exit as well as travel along the stairs.
Distinguish offered configurations
Stannah presents dedicated straight and curved-stair platforms, with multiple levels depending on model. Request a reference compatible with your route. This proves neither fit for every staircase nor reuse of an old stairlift rail.
Check wheelchair and manoeuvres
Specify usable dimensions, permitted combined load and entry/exit direction. Include person, wheelchair, accessories and planned assistant. Assess controls with the person; an accessibility label alone does not guarantee independent use.
Show open and folded states
Request a plan with open platform, folding, travel and parking. Stannah describes folding for its platforms, but remaining passage needs assessment on your stairs. Have circulation and building requirements checked by the relevant professional.
Specify installation and aftercare
Describe fixing, power, protection, documents and checks. Request stoppage instructions and assistance contact. For proposed support, confirm assessment and ordering with the authority before committing.

Frequently asked questions
Can a seated stairlift rail be retained?
Do not assume so. Reuse requires documented compatibility.
Can one minimum width validate the project?
No. Check equipment, manoeuvres, folding, passage and building rules.
Is this the only solution without seat transfer?
No. Compare vertical systems or building adaptations suited to user and route.
Can it be used without an assistant?
Assess with the person and actual configuration; no general guarantee.
