Stairlift

[phil59]

Not knowing where to put, I put here.

For my father, it's starting to become very complicated to climb the stairs, and I'm wondering about stairlifts.

A priori, there would be something like €10, and I don't see why he would have help to do it, because on the ground floor, in addition to the kitchen, there is a dining room, and a living room, enough to make a bedroom on the ground floor.

I looked on LBC, and there are "plenty" for sale.

Of course, I think it's hard to tailor more or less, but he must have a way to adapt...

Has anyone already tried?

There are some that we tried .... They had problems

I see that we have the same references!

So I had seen a report a few years ago and I was surprisingly surprised at the price of...domestic elevators : for 10 to 15k€ you can install a turnkey one. It was fairly classy models of memory (glass walls...).

This adds a nice added value to the house unlike the stairlift that adds a loss of value (often dismantled if house bought by a young couple...that's why you find plenty of them on LBC)

Depending on the architecture, the lift can be interior or exterior!

A 10k€ stairlift is clearly gerontophile exploitation!

ps: prices have probably changed since... on the way up! But hey, it's a track to study I think, it all depends on the architecture...

The solution is all found.

It is better to invest in a small bathroom/WC adapted to the wheelchair, than these gadgets that the person with loss of autonomy may no longer be able to use in a few days.
Key heating savings if the floor is no longer used. It's just an opinion

From what I saw, it's 3000€, if the staircase is "straight", 7000€ if a bend, and 3000€ of MO.

That's why I said €10, it's an estimate, an estimate will be made.

And so far, I haven't been able to convince them to move their bedroom downstairs.

The elevators, on the other hand, require a technical visit at least once a year, I had also looked.

I remember a report "at the little rapporteur" by Pierre Bonte, where a guy had himself made a "monte grandma"

For my father, it's not "the mechanical part" that no longer follows, but the breath.

For me no better than izentrop...

It is better to invest in a real viable structure for a PMR on the ground floor rather than having fun tinkering and maintaining something that will only be of temporary use anyway...

The person I replaced at my job...Made one at home with a forklift fork and a hydraulic pump...Because his wife was starting to have health issues, nice achievement... .Just don't get your finger stuck somewhere because the thing is capable of lifting 2 tons

I had made one for my tenant outside (the ABF wanted no stairs) with a leroy merlin winch from the IPN and an old footbridge from my job... It worked for 5 years...

It is not false ! But again, the architecture must be compatible...

You're a Macro nag!
