Stair Lift Industry Segmentation
A stair lift is a mechanical device used for lifting people, typically those with disabilities or old age people, up and down stairs. It provides comfort and can revive liberty for those who discontinued using the stairs. All stairlifts contain a simple controller that controls their motion. The lift travels up or down the stairway when the rider presses and holds the switch. The chair beeps once and stops automatically when the stairlift arrives at the end of the path. If one releases the control at any point along the way, the lift will start beeping and stop immediately.
