In some parts of the world, stairlifts is a common household item. A stairlift is basically a mechanical device for lifting people and wheelchairs up and down stairs. A rail is mounted to the treads of the stairs and a chair or lifting platform is attached to the rail. A person on the chair or platform is lifted as the chair or platform moves along the rail.
Consider Stannah, a British family owned and run company. Their products include stairlifts, passenger lifts, platform lifts and goods lifts all distinguished by the innovation, design and technical excellence that lie at the heart of our business.
If you are interested in this idea, you can find out more in their website. I wonder whether Stannah will come up quicker and easier installation method in the future, maybe by using industrial clamps so end users could install themselves.
