When it comes to home mobility solutions, you may have heard both the terms "stairlift" and "chair lift." This often leads to the question: Are stairlifts and chair lifts different? The simple answer is no. Stairlifts and chair lifts are two names for the exact same device—a motorized chair that helps individuals safely navigate stairs in their homes. In this post, we'll clear up the confusion and explain why these terms are used interchangeably.
What is a Stairlift (or Chair Lift)?
A stairlift, also commonly referred to as a chair lift, a motorized chair that travels along a rail mounted to the staircase. It is designed to provide a safe, easy way for individuals with limited mobility to move up and down the stairs without assistance. With simple controls, safety features, and comfortable seating, stairlifts are a reliable solution for many seniors and those with mobility issues.
You might hear "chair lift" and think it sounds a little more generic, and that’s because it is! When people refer to a chair lift in the context of a home, they’re almost always talking about a stairlift. Both terms describe the same product.
