Hello.

Does anyone know of  a school/college/nursery that is using a stair climber to enable wheelchair access within the setting?  In Kent, we attended a demonstration yesterday by a company: thestairclimbingcompany.com and I just wondered if anyone could give an insight into

  • the usability of the stair climber
  • the ongoing support from the company
  • who paid for the stair climber - the setting or County?

Any insight/thoughts would be really appreciated.

Thank you

A student (Secondary) on our caseload, uses a stair climber for evacuation purposes. The school purchased it directly, therefore i have no insight regarding the company's ongoing support.

T<span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">he stair climber has a Safe Working Load (SLW) of 200kg which is 31.5 stone. </span>Our students powered wheelchair weights 20 stone. So its worth baring in mind the young persons weight and weight of their wheelchair, when looking at stair climbers.
