Our product range will suit almost any application, and we’d be glad to assist you through the process, whatever your needs may be.
Are my stairs suitable for a stairlift/chair lift; is this an option?
Savaria Australia offers a diverse range of stairlifts and wheelchair lifts to accommodate any type of staircase - inside or outside of the home – or to any public access area, or commercial building. These are very reliable, very quiet and extremely convenient when the climb is just a bit too much.
My staircase is quite intricate and narrow…. Will you be able to fit a stair lift to my house?
Our range of stairlifts are second to none and can accommodate the tightest of turns and very narrow stair areas. For full details and options, one of our sales consultants will conduct a site inspection, measure and provide you with an opportunity to see a unit in operation.
How long does it take to install a stairlift or chair lift?
With many of our units we are in and out within the day, but for more complicated systems with multiple turns and levels, additional days may be required.
How is a chair lift or stairlift installed?
It’s a very straight forward process. We would install the unit with self-supporting upright posts which are then secured to your stair floor treads. We inspect the safety and viability of this every time we install our units, that’s why our stairlifts are so popular and trusted.
What happens if my stairlift or chair lift breaks down?
If the unlikely happens, rest assured we have you covered no matter where you are in Australia. We have dedicated 24/7 service, 365 days a year and can ensure you are provided technical assistance, and specialised service advice almost immediately. Upon an emergency service being required we will coordinate the most suitably located service person to respond.
