Benefits of installing a caterpillar chair, or caterpillar stairlift
As an accessibility solution, caterpillar stairlifts receive the highest praise from those who use them, something which is not surprising when we look at all the advantages they offer:
- Ease of transport and storage. They can usually be folded up quickly and are easy to break down. This means they can be taken from one place to another without complications and can be stored comfortably in almost any place, such as the boot of the car or under a bed.
- Mobility. One of the main reasons (if not the main one) users opt for this type of equipment, is that caterpillars can be taken wherever they are needed to overcome various architectural barriers, not just stairs. Caterpillar stairlifts are able to overcome a variety of obstacles when placed properly.
- Effortless. This piece of equipment goes up and down stairs easily and at a constant speed, which means that neither user nor companion has to exert a lot of strength. It should be noted, however, that it must be the companion at the controls in order to control the machine and act as spotter for the person who must go up or down.
- No works necessary. Not having to carry out a permanent installation means we can forget about renovations and other construction works that can be annoying in many cases and can result in having to ask the neighbours for permission, as in the case of multi-dwelling units.
- Safety. Their design features brakes and non-slip materials that provide great protection to both the user and to the companion at the controls. Safety is an essential factor in these cases, and the caterpillar stairlift meets the highest safety standards.
