San Francisco Stair Lifts

Navigating the hilly landscapes of San Francisco can be a challenge, and the same applies indoors for multi-level homes. A stair lift solves this by providing an easy way for individuals with mobility difficulties to move between floors. The chair runs on a rail fixed along the staircase, ensuring a smooth and safe ride, with added features like seat belts and sensors for maximum comfort and security. We also offer residential elevators in San Francisco to provide even greater accessibility and comfort.

For the compact and historic homes of San Francisco, a shaftless stair lift is a perfect fit. This lift doesn’t need a shaft and attaches directly to your stairs, preserving space and avoiding large-scale construction. It’s designed to be minimally invasive, making it an excellent choice for homes with limited room or homeowners wanting to maintain the look and feel of their living space.

San Francisco stair lifts from California Mobility use an electric motor to transport a chair or platform along a rail attached to your stairs. The user controls their movement with a simple control system, and even during power outages, the built-in battery ensures continued operation.

To install a stair lift, you’ll need to measure the length, width, and any landings of your staircase. California Mobility offers professional assessments to help ensure the lift is perfectly tailored to your space.

The minimum stair width for a lift is typically about 29 inches. If your stairs are narrower, there are custom solutions available to make sure the lift operates safely and efficiently.

The battery generally lasts 1 to 2 years, depending on how frequently the lift is used. Scheduling regular maintenance helps extend battery life, and battery replacement is available to keep the lift functioning smoothly.

Simply park the stair lift at the top or bottom of the stairs where the charging station is located. Once properly parked, it will charge automatically without any need for manual charging.
