Stair lifts help elderly, mobility impaired individuals as well as obese or overweight individuals to move freely from one floor to another. Stair climbing is a good exercise for obese or overweight individuals as it helps to burn the fat faster and keeps their body active and healthy. However, some heavy weight individuals, who have joint pain, arthritis, heart diseases, ankle, knee or respiratory problems, balance issues and other mobility issues, may find climbing and descending stairs an extremely difficult task. For such people, stair lifts are a great relief. Stair lifts eliminate the need for climbing and descending stairs. These devices carry seated passengers up and down the stairs safely and easily. They are affordable and reliable and can be easily installed on either side of straight as well as curved staircases. They are easy to operate and virtually maintenance-free. They offer a smooth, stable and silent ride. They also let users carry grocery, laundry, books, and other items with them from one floor to another. They can be used for indoor as well as outdoor purposes and integrate well with any home decor.
