Stairclimbers

How do I get a stairclimber?

Depending on your circumstances you may be able to source one through your local Social Services. We do sell direct to the public, subject to a free no obligation assessment of the user, operator and property/stairway to verify suitability and specification. Please call 01327 340083 or fill in the form @ www.aatgb.com/s-max to arrange a free no obligation assessment.

How does a stairclimber differ from a stairlift?

A stairclimber is free-standing and completely portable. Its use is not confined to the stairway. It is not fixed to the building structure in any way. A stairlift is secured to the wall or stairs and can only be used within the scope of its transfer rail.

How much is a stairclimber?

It depends on the specification, accessories etc. Please call 01327 340083 or fill in the form @ www.aatgb.com/s-max to arrange a free no obligation assessment

Where can I use a stairclimber?

Inside and out! Our stairclimbers can handle most common staircase designs inside and can traverse many steps you'll find outside. Being portable, they're not fixed to the staircase, so 1 stairclimber can be used from top to bottom in a townhouse, and/or take you outside if you have steps to or in the garden, driveway, street (NB subject to assessment by one of our trained professionals). And they can be used away from home too!

Who can use a stairclimber?

A stairclimber is proven to be a safe way to move the majority of people with reduced mobility up, down stairs. This includes infants with complex needs, people with musculoskeletal issues, arthritis, amputations, dementia/Alzheimers, Cerebral Palsy, brain injury etc.
