How much room does the stair lift take up on a legal minimum stair width?
Each manufacture produces different size stair glides in order to fit the varying demand of different consumers. Due to the variation in the architecture of stairs, the room a stair lift takes up would vary from stair to stair that is built with legal minimum width. Below are some examples: Bruno makes a chair lift called Electra Ride II, which takes up 24″ of stairway, and 13″ when folded up against the wall.
