1. Elevator

Elevator is the most common and indispensable tool in buildings, especially in public places or high-rise buildings. Its functions and methods of use must not need me to introduce too much, everyone is familiar with it. In addition to public places, ordinary people can also install elevators. Even if your house has only two floors, you can install elevators. Elevator is the most convenient and quick tool to go up and downstairs, which is also its biggest advantage. However, the disadvantage of elevators is also obvious, that is, the installation and maintenance costs are high, and not all households can install them.

2.Stair Lift

In short, a stair lift is a platform installed on the stairs, and the platform is driven by a power device such as a battery to complete the action of going up and down the stairs. The platform is often shaped like a chair. Compared with the elevator, the stair lift is slightly less convenient, but the operation is equally simple and does not require the assistance of other people. The downside is that it is expensive to install and maintain. Although cheaper than elevators, not everyone can afford them.

3. Stair Climbing Wheelchair

The Stair Climbing Wheelchair is also known as the mobile stair lift. Stair lift is installed on the stairs, while the stair climbing wheelchair does not need to be installed and can be used anytime, anywhere. And most stair climbing wheelchairs are folding, so they're easy to store. And the price is much lower than the first two, the specific price can ask our staff. Also, the stair climbing wheelchair is low maintenance. You can also know from the name that it can also be used as a wheelchair and has a wide range of application scenarios. The only disadvantage is that it needs the assistance of others, and the user cannot complete the movements up and down the stairs independently.
