Stair Climbers
Make 'Reasonable Adjustments'
Stair Climbers are designed to help people with mobility problems to get up and down staircases with little or no assistance.
Stair Climbers
Stair climbers are a type of assistive technology designed to aid individuals with mobility issues in navigating staircases safely and independently.
These devices can be particularly beneficial for elderly people, individuals with disabilities, or those recovering from surgery or injury. Stair climbers come in various forms, each tailored to different needs and stair configurations.
Why use a Stair Climber?
Frequently buildings have neither been designed nor built in such a manner that they are readily accessible for people with disabilities or impairments.
When this is the case, stairs represent a significant barrier for people with disabilities.
Stair climbers offer numerous benefits for individuals with mobility issues, making them a valuable addition to homes and buildings.
Enhanced Mobility and Accessibility: Stair climbers provide a practical solution for individuals who struggle with stairs due to age, disability, or temporary injuries. By facilitating easy movement between different floors, they ensure that users can access all areas of their homes or buildings without restriction.
Increased Safety: Navigating stairs can be hazardous for individuals with mobility issues. Stair climbers significantly reduce the risk of falls and related injuries by providing a secure and stable means of ascent and descent. Many models come equipped with safety features such as seat belts, non-slip surfaces, and emergency stop functions.
Preservation of Independence: For many people, maintaining independence is crucial for their dignity and quality of life. Stair climbers allow users to move around their homes independently, reducing their reliance on caregivers or family members for assistance.
Adaptability to Various Needs: Stair climbers come in various forms, including stair lifts, wheelchair lifts, and portable models, catering to different mobility challenges and staircase configurations. This adaptability ensures that there is a suitable option for almost any situation.
Long-Term Investment: While the initial cost of a stair climber might seem high, it is a long-term investment in the user’s safety, independence, and quality of life. Over time, the benefits often outweigh the costs, particularly when compared to alternative solutions.
In summary, stair climbers are a practical, safe, and effective solution for individuals with mobility issues, offering numerous benefits that contribute to a more accessible and independent lifestyle.
The benefits of using motorised stair climbers include:
Increased safety: Stair climbers reduce the risk of injuries associated with manual lifting and carrying heavy objects or peolpe up or down stairs. The motorised operation minimises the physical strain on operators and decreases the likelihood of accidents or falls.
Improved efficiency: Motorised stair climbers can significantly speed up the process of moving items or people between different floors, making it faster and more efficient than relying solely on manual labor. This can save time and increase safety in an emergancy situation.
Versatility: These machines are designed to navigate various types of stairs, including straight, curved, and spiral staircases. They can adapt to different stair configurations and provide a versatile solution for transporting people in different environments.
Load capacity: Motorised stair climbers are built to handle substantial weight capacities, allowing for the transportation of heavy items that would be challenging or impossible for individuals to carry on their own.
Reduced property damage: By utilising motorised tracks or wheels, stair climbers minimise the risk of damage to stairs and walls compared to manually dragging or carrying objects, especially for delicate or fragile items.
It’s worth noting that specific features, load capacities, and designs of motorised stair climbers may vary depending on the manufacturer and model. If you’re considering using a motorised stair climber for your specific needs, it’s advisable to consult first to ensure that the machine aligns with your requirements.
Stair climbers are applicable on virtually all types of stairs including:
UK evacuation chair law
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that all people including disabled people or people with limited mobility using the building be provided with adequate means of escape in case of fire.
- This includes a suitable personal emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) for all people likely to be in the premises, including disabled people, and how that plan will be implemented.
- Where an employer or a service provider does not make provision for the safe evacuation of disabled people from its premises, this may be viewed as discrimination.
- It is essential that when purchasing an evacuation chair that a suitable training programme is also implemented.
