When someone in your two-story home becomes disabled or is a senior in need of assistance, you don’t want to have to move to a new house just because climbing and descending stairs has become an issue.
This is also the case when a relative will be recuperating from an injury or illness for an unknown period and needs to use a wheelchair.
At Transitions Lift + Elevator, our professionals specialize in installing residential platform stairlifts for wheelchair users throughout the greater Cincinnati area.
Whether you are a homeowner who needs to make an upgrade or are a contractor preparing to install a home stairlift during a new build or remodel, you should know that you can count on our team to get the job done right, on time and within your budget.
Benefits of Installing a Residential Inclined Platform Wheelchair Stairlift
If you have never used a residential inclined platform wheelchair stairlift or seen one in action, you’ll appreciate that the equipment we install will improve the value of your home when it comes time to put it on the market.
Homeowners tend to install residential lifts in situations where putting in an elevator is not practical for their dwelling. Putting in the lift involves attaching its rails to the bottom and top of the stairs. Depending on the design of your staircase, we have models that only attach to stairs or attach to a wall. Our designers will walk through which option is best for your home.
Our standard battery-operated wheelchair lift is capable of supporting up to 500 pounds (including the person, wheelchair and any items being held). These wheelchair lifts can transport wheelchairs as long as 36 inches.
When not in use, you can save space by folding the unit (it will then be 13 inches long). This means that the stairlift will not be an obstacle for people walking up and down the stairs.
Homeowners can rest assured that our inclined platform stairlifts are outfitted with safety sensors that will automatically halt movement when they sense an obstacle.
During an emergency, no one will be left behind, because the stairlift aids you during evacuation. The equipment includes a battery so it will continue to operate, even during a power failure.
Options for Your Residential Inclined Platform Wheelchair Stairlift
When you arrange to have our team install a residential inclined platform wheelchair stairlift, keep in mind that our technicians can give you multiple options if customization is needed.
We work with straight inclined platform wheelchair lifts for use with a standard stairway, as well as curved wheelchair lifts for homes that have a curved flight of stairs.
You can select from various standard color schemes or request a customized hue to make your new stairlift blend in better with the home’s decor.
After we inspect your home and come up with a solution for the new stairlift, we will work around your schedule to install it at a time that is most convenient for you.
What’s more, our technicians will help you preserve the value of your investment by conducting regular inspections and maintenance of your wheelchair stairlift.
Safe and Sturdy Handicap Lifts and Stairlifts for the Elderly and Disabled
Installing one of our inclined platform stairlifts ensures that each ride up and down the stairs will be a safe experience for anyone in your domicile who is elderly or disabled.
We know that it can be difficult to sort through the various options for residential lifts, which is why we invite you to connect with us for a free consultation.
