How do Powered Stairclimbers work?

The Stair Climbing Company offer a great range of stair climbers. From compact models suited to tight landing spaces and winding steps to tracked wheelchair carriers. A modern day alternative to the Stair lift.

Portable

Portable and easy to dismantle for storage, the stair climbers are a great solution for mobilising across multiple sites..

Non-fixed alternative to the Stair lift

The benefit of a non fixed solution means that communal spaces and high traffic stairwells can be easily accessed. The Stair Climbing wheelchair is the real alternative to the Stair lift and a lot of the time a better option than a stair lift.

Easy to operate

Our Stair Climbers are very easy to operate with training. This option will mobilise and provide access where you need it.

    Frequently Asked Questions…

    Question – Can one person operate a stair climber?

    Answer – Yes. Stair climbers can only be operated by one person. A second person maybe required to help on a turn or to provide assistance in the initial period of use (as the operator gains confidence). This is a common question in our FAQ.

    Question – Can I use a Stair Climber for Evacuating a building?

    Answer – Yes. We use our stairclimbers in many buildings for evacuation from University of Cambridge to Blackstones in London. They can be used for upwards or downwards evacuation and also for non-transferable evacuation (PEEPs).

    Question – Can I move a stair climber to different locations?

    Answer – Yes. Our stair climbers are cleverly designed to be broke into several parts for easy stowage in a car. Many details about it can be found in our FAQ.

    Question – How can I get a wheelchair up some stairs?

    Answer – A Lift, A platform lift or a stair climber. The FAQ section provides detailed information.

    Question – Can I attach a wheelchair to a stair climber?

    Answer – Yes. Most manual wheelchairs will attach to both stairs climbers, as detailed in our FAQ.

    Question – Can I attach a child’s buggy to a stair climber?

    Answer – Yes. We attach many child buggy variations.

    Question – Is a stair climber a good stair lift alternative?

    Answer – Yes. Not only are stair climbers a great stair lift alternative, but a lot of the time due to non-possible transferring or non-feasible stair spaces the only option.

    Question – Can you turn a stair climber on a fan, or bend on stairs?

    Answer – Yes. A Skyclimber will work around most stairs, including spiral stairs.

    Question – Is a Skyclimber similar to an AAT Stair climber?

    Answer – Yes in many ways. The Skyclimber is more cost effective and more flexible to attach seating systems and wheelchairs.

      “We have had a partnership with F1 Global for several years. We were asked to produce a touring stage for them and we consulted with The Stair Climber Company with regards to access. They custom built a Skyline to offer mobile access to the stand. Easy and informative company to work with who use innovative ideas to solve stairway access issues.”
