Stairlifts
Sometimes, when it is not feasible to install an elevator, mechanical devices are used inside buildings to move people between different heights.
As a general rule, they are installed in single-family homes where there is no possibility of installing another means of elevation, or where it is complicated or very expensive to install. The stairlifts can be installed inside or outside the staircase and can connect 2 or more floors.
Short travel lifts are vertical hydraulic platforms, generally with arms or half cab, specially designed for wheelchairs, suitable for travel between 2 levels, with a maximum lifting height of 3 or 4 meters (depending on the model) and a maximum load capacity of 385 kg.
This equipment consists of a 750 W electric motor and a drive system that can be electric or hydraulic, depending on the model, by means of a telescopic cylinder and incorporates a hydraulic power unit with a manual lowering valve, as well as a hydraulic silencer to reduce noise and vibrations.
The electrical operation will always be with constant pulsation, which means that the device only works when the button is pressed.

The price of a chair and platform stairlift will depend mainly on the number of meters of guide, whether it is for indoor or outdoor use and the curves or turns they have.
There are cheaper stairlifts on the market, which are reconditioned, but the price difference is usually not worth it. You can also find chairs stairlifts used or second hand, but in curved sections is almost impossible to be adapted. In straight sections it is easier as long as the length you need is equal or less.
