Measuring for Your Stair Lift
(printable version)
You will fill in this information when you're placing the order, or you can fax it to us at 561-748-9048.

Take note of any fixtures, such as window sills, hand rails, central heating radiators, doorways etc., that intrude into the stairway area - or could be blocked by the presence of the stair lift. Decide, which side of the stairway will be most appropriate for the stair lift, requiring the least amount of disruption - or obstruction. In most cases, it’s a fairly obvious choice.

Now that you have decided which side of the stairway the stair lift will be sited, you should measure the staircase.

Please specify the units of the dimensions and enter the staircase measurements in the boxes provided.

Explanation of Measurements

1 - Overall Length of Staircase
Note: This should be a straight measurement from the nose of the top step to the floor, at the foot of the stairway.

2 - Staircase Width
Note: You many find that your staircase width varies a little, over the length of the stairway. Record the measurement at its narrowest point.

3 - Clearance at Bottom of Staircase
Note: A minimum of 24" (61cms) is required for this measurement.

4 - ‘Rise’ of One Step
Note: Height of one step. This may vary slightly, so measure several steps part way up the stairs and take an average.

5 - ‘Tread’ of One Step
Note: Depth of one step. This may vary slightly, so measure several steps part way up the stairs and take an average.
