What is an outdoor stairlift? 

An outdoor stairlift is a mechanical seating device that travels up and down stairs that are located outdoors. While these stairlifts can be either straight or curved, they are specifically designed to be rugged enough to withstand being outside. 

How safe is the outdoor stairlift? 

If you have limited mobility and you need to climb stairs to access your home, you could have a greater chance of falling, especially if your stairs are steep or uneven. Outdoor stairlifts are sturdy and rugged, and they are designed to be used outdoors, so they are just as safe as traditional straight or curved stairlifts.
