Yes. The terms “chair lift” and “stairlift” both describe the same device — a motorised chair that runs on a rail to help people with limited mobility move safely between floors.
A chair lift, also called a stairlift, is a motorised device that transports individuals up and down stairs while seated. It works by:
- Track installation – a rail is securely fixed to the stair treads.
- Chair mechanism – a motor moves the chair smoothly along the track.
- User control – operated via a switch on the armrest or remote control.
- Safety systems – seatbelt, swivel seat, and sensors ensure safe travel.
Chair lifts provide independence for individuals who find stairs difficult.
Important factors include:
- Staircase layout – straight or curved.
- Mobility needs – seated or standing models.
- Weight capacity – ensuring safe use.
- Seat design – size, upholstery, and comfort features.
- Additional features – powered swivel seat, folding footplate, or remote controls.
EMS Lifts provides free home surveys to assess needs and recommend suitable options.
