Description
Sometimes the answer isn’t a stair lift — it’s an elevator. The Savaria Telecab is a compact through-floor home elevator that moves a person, wheelchair and all, between levels without the shaft construction of a traditional elevator. For two-story living with a wheelchair, it changes the whole calculus of “do we have to move?”
Common questions

Stair lift or Telecab? If the rider stays in a wheelchair upstairs and down, the elevator answers what a stair lift cannot. Budget conversations at (903) 592-6760.
