Wheelchair lifts designed to carry person in a wheelchair along a staircase. These lifts typically include a track (either wall-mounted or free-standing in specially designed supports) that runs along the stairway and a platform attached to the track onto which the patient wheels the wheelchair. Some models fold against the wall, leaving the stairway clear for pedestrian use. Stairway lifts are usually installed in existing stairways with minimum modifications; they may be used at home or in public places such as schools, libraries, and hospitals.
