Savaria Stair Lifts are one of the best kept secrets when it comes to picking a mobility solution to transport you floor to floor in your home.
Savaria, recently known as Savaria Concord, offers a widely varied choice of well-designed chair elevators, platform lifts of various kinds that work in homes, in corporate offices, and in public places that need to comply with the strict government regulations.
But what solution would work best for you? That depends on what kind of mobility disability you have now, whether you expect that it might change for the better or for the worse, and also on the interior floor plan of your house.
With that in mind, let's explore the following Savaria offers that you might want to consider for yourself: Savaria Chair Lifts, Savaria Vertical Platform Lifts, and Savaria Inclined Platform Lifts.
Savaria Chair Lifts Savaria offers a number of different models of Chair Lifts.
They consist of a rail that you mount directly on your stairs, then a carriage that moves up and down the rail, and the chair that is attached to the top of the carriage.
If you can walk easily and have no issues sitting into the chair, then that might be the best option for you, and least expensive.
Savaria Vertical Platform Lifts When you are thinking of using a mobility scooter or a wheelchair to move about your house, then you would have to switch between the wheelchair, or mobility scooter, and the chair elevator if that is what you would have on your stairs.
This could be quite uncomfortable and might require a caregiver to help you out with the transfers.
However, when you install a Savaria vertical platform lift, the transfers become unnecessary.
You can stay in your wheelchair, or mobility scooter, and simply drive on the vertical platform.
After securing everything, the platform is simply lifted vertically and you drive off on the other floor.
Very simple.
Savaria Inclined Platform Lifts The only drawback of the vertical platform lift is that it needs extra space in the floor plan for both floors.
You may not have that space without a major restructuring and remodeling of your home.
So this could get expensive.
The Savaria Inclined Platform Wheelchair Lift comes to the rescue here.
The advantage of the inclined platform wheelchair lift is that it can be installed directly onto the stairs, and the platform simply follows the stairs all the way to the other floor.
You can stay in your scooter or wheelchair, make sure it is securely parked on the platform.
You are ready to be transported along the stairs and then you simply drive off on top.
