Stair lifts â how do they work. 1  1. Stair Lifts â How Do They WorkTo help people with mobility issues, a stair lift is designed that makes going up and downthe stairs easy. 2  It is absolutely not new in the market but has been around for years. 3  Manyphysically challenged and elderly people have already benefited from it.

A person on the chair or platform is lifted as the chair moves along the rail. Stairlifts are known variously as stair lifts, stair-lifts, chair lifts, stair gliders and by other names. This type of chair lift should not be confused with the chairlift used by skiers. The term stair climber can refer either to stair lifts, or more commonly to the exercise equipment by the same name. Some of the first stairlifts to be produced commercially were advertised and sold in the USA in the 1930s by the Inclinator Company of America. Many users at the time were victims of polio.
