Transporting goods on stairs and transporting wheelchair users with disabilities are two different needs that require specific solutions to ensure safe and efficient stair transportation.
Transporting goods on stairs
Stair transportation involves the movement of goods, packages, or materials from one floor to another in environments such as warehouses, distribution centers, or commercial buildings. Solutions for transporting goods on stairs include devices such as freight elevators, cable hoists, or electric stair climbers. These devices are designed to withstand heavy loads and make stair transportation efficient and safe.
In the “What Are You Moving?” section, you’ll find videos, photos, and guides on how to safely move machinery, furniture, goods, materials, bulky packages, and appliances up and down stairs.
In addition, each transport section indicates the most suitable electric stair climber for that specific stair transport among the innovative Zonzini electric stair climbers, the professional “do-it-yourself” electric stair climbers sold worldwide.
Transporting wheelchair users with disabilities on stairs
Transportation of wheelchair users with disabilities on stairs involves the movement of persons with motor disabilities who require access to buildings or spaces (private or public) equipped with stairs.
To facilitate this type of transportation, solutions such as ramps, stairlifts, tracked stair climbers for wheelchairs, or stair lifts such as elevators are used. These solutions allow people with disabilities to overcome architectural barriers and access different areas with ease and safety.
