Garage stair
lift
Can you fit a stair lift
into a garage?
The answer is in some cases,
yes. A stair lift from a basement or lower-level garage can
help people gain easier access to their home.
A stair lift manufacturer or
installation company will be able to advise you on the cost
and practical considerations.
Where stairs run from a
garage up and in to a home it should be possible to install
a stair lift.
Garage stair lifts will be
like any other stair lift - in that they can be fitted to
straight or curved stairs.
If the garage or stairs are
in any way exposed to open elements such as wind, rain or
extremes of temperature such as cold or heat then it may be
appropriate for an outdoor stair lift to be
fitted.
Security may be an issue -
perhaps there is a dividing or lockable door between the
garage and any stairs.
In such cases the stair lift
can run to the area behind the door but would require there
to be sufficient space for the stair lift occupant to
dismount and for the stair lift to rest in position while
allowing the door enough space to open.
