I’m a firefighter/EMT, we use a chair very similar to this to help safely transport people downstairs called the Stryker Stair-PRO. It is an essential piece of equipment for us! It helps prevent injuries to first responder and those that call us for help.
That's neat. I'm a volunteer firefighter and when we have to transport patients (we run some medical calls too) on the stairs, we use what's called a stair chair. It's basically the same thing she's using in this video, but no motors. We have to pull the chair up or down the stairs, and it moves on the tracks so it's a smooth ride. Most commonly used on islands when we have to transport a patient to the fire boat. Maybe we should get one of those motorized ones? Always hard when it's a heavy patient or a steep incline/decline.
@John Reynolds I've seen pull carts with that wheel design. the super wheelchair I recall had two wheels on each side, and used the same technology as segways to be able to raise itself on one wheel per side and to climb stairs. as I recall, it didn't catch on because of the cost.
I’m a paramedic in lebanon, and We have the same non motorized stair chair. We call it an “EZ glide” and it’s such a blessing. Most of the homes in my area have stairs so narrow a regular stretcher won’t fit. And if it does fit, most buildings go up as high as 10 stories with no elevators so it’s a real challenge if we have to carry someone down.
As a disabled scientist and tinkerer, I appreciate the refreshingly humanizing and practical videos you make in a world that is so often ableist and dehumanizing.

You are so kind to Cambry, Zack, she is so lucky to have someone who made a ring from a wheelchair, makes her wheelchairs, so thank you for being kind to her. We need more people like you in the world!
To help make it safer (as in potentially life-saving) in case of operator error or incapacitation, I’d add a retractable cable to the design. You could attach the cable to the top of the stairs and it retracts into a coil as the unit climbs the stairs, preventing the unit from falling down the stairs.

hello i am an EMT and this is called a stairchair this is used to bring patients who cant walk and are upstairs down, the way these are made is the tracks on the back have very intense friction to make pushing them don stair easier, not the problem is its much better and safer with two providers
@@connorbush7848 actually neither does mine, it's never used really for going up stairs so it doesn't really need it, I wish they were that fancy I work for private 911 ems so we are underfunded lol
I wish we'd have had this for my grandmother back in the 80s and 90s. She'd been relegated to a wheelchair after a series of massive stroke and it was so hard getting her places like getting into our house. Grandpa, dad and my uncle would have to lift and carry her up the front stairs for every family function. Eventually they came to their senses and we started having family functions at their house in winter and our yard in warm weather. I'll never forget how they struggled to get her up stairs.
Stroke patients often sit on this electric staircase chair, and the buttocks are broken and stopped immediately. Others used this machine to cause the buttocks to be broken, which was found by me!
And every parent wants a girl like this for his/her son. Girl has some manners, doesnt talk recklessly, listens, is overall respectful. And Im kinda jealous. There arent many girls like this left.
Thank you Zack and Cambry for providing a review and demonstration for the Mobile Stair Lift. After searching for a stair climber wheelchair, we saw your video and purchased this model. It has become a lifesaver for our family. We can now take my out mom safely. On a side note, you two are the sweetest and coolest couple ever. 💟
It a “stair chair” we use it in the fire/ems service just for that reason. Ours is not motorized though. It’s easier than lifting a stretcher up and down stairs. They really do come in handy.
@@mileslamberson3992 I dont think a stair chair is needed enough to need motorized one. Plus EMS would have one more thing to worry about (having the battery charged and ready to go). But then it depends where you work i guess.
@@Hans353definitely depends on location. Here in the UK carry chairs (what I've seen called a Styker Chair, Stair Chair and EZ Glide in this comments section) are used a lot just because they're easier to use than a trolley/stretcher/cot, especially in tight spaces and where there are stairs. Considering the biggest health-related "carrier ender" in HCPs are back injuries I am surprised electric carry chairs aren't used more (or even at all, this is my first time seeing one). In the hospital we don't lift at all, there's equipment for all of that, and if it can be powered equipment then it is. Surely it should be the same in the back of an Ambo, especially since EMTs and paramedics have to lift/carry/move patients more than any other healthcare pro.
I’m having some health issues with my joints, but we had a family trip planned for New York City. This ruclips.net/user/postUgkxuxJwamLFanm476LC5WPeTouyyU1GXomC was perfect! It’s lightweight enough that my friend could carry it up or down stairs when we needed to. (I can walk very short distances) It was comfortable for me to sit in, I would say if you’re super tall it might be a little cramped. I’m 5’1” and the foot rests were the perfect height. This may not be the best one for long term use, you get what you pay for, but for something that fits our budget that gives me accessibility while we deal with my health this was amazing.
As a concept I think it’s okay and maybe a good thing for public places. The biggest problem I have with it is the seatbelt. Every new wheelchair I get, the seatbelt is the first thing I remove. I’m very active in my chair and yes I’ve had a fall or 2 (and more). Falling forward with a seatbelt means you end up on the floor with a wheelchair on top of you, falling backwards is the same. With no belt, your fall is much less dangerous for the user’s overall health…. I’m very interested your thoughts on this too😉
A seatbelt is necessary to have in a wheelchair as depending on your injury it can be that you don't have the control to balance yourself in the chair and would just fall out of it. Removing the seatbelt is a choice that should be available but shipping it without the seatbelt is a bigger problem
I used this same unit to help my mom (she's 83) when she had arthritis in her hip. We used it for about 2 weeks. It was a great help to get up and down two sets of stairs. We had a two week free trial and after her treatment was over, we returned it. Best thing and would totally recommend it.
Did you used to out a lot of pressure to tilt it? I just got it today and i find it very difficult to use even when im following all the steps. Specially going down, I feel like it drags me down and i have to be holding it with too much strength. It also broke a few of my stairs.
@@pattykat7734 I’m trying to remember. Make you extend the handles it makes it easier to lean it back. It does take a little getting the hang of it. I to forgot some of the steps. If it wasn’t so expensive I would have kept it. I’m glad they had a return policy. Once I got the hang of it it became much easier. Make sure the treads are going up and down the stairs on an angle. They should “ride” down/up on the edge of each step. It been a number of years since we had it so I don’t remember all the steps. My mom was a bit scared at first going down the stairs but got easier as we used it. You don’t need to push it up or down let the motor do all the work. I’ll rewatch Zack’s video to refresh my memory. Make sure you unlock the treads before going up or down.
I'm an EMT and literally laying bed rn with (mild, but still) back pain from stairchairing so many patients yesterday. This looks like a gifts from the gods!
Thank you thank you thank you to both of you for this most remarkable video. It's really good, which is why I'm writing. You and it saved my mother's 98th birthday party. 3 days before the party, my cousins got sick with COVID and could no longer host the event at their house. I took over all planning along with siblings My place provided a perfect location (flat, beautiful, comfortable) except for the 19 steps (2+12+2+3) up to my home. I used your video to persuade skeptical relatives, and also used it to understand and practice with chair before Mom's arrival at the party. Also, I love the fact that my place is now accessible to friends in wheelchairs or with trouble going up steps. Trying to think of a good nickname for the thing. The video is a life-saver. Again, thank you thank you thank you so much. If you're ever in Los Angeles, look me up. Best, David
@Boom Blogger she lost her the ability to use her legs before they met, which makes the story even more amazing. She was afraid that being in a wheelchair would prevent people from falling for her, and he basically said “bet”
@@WarEagle1023 They are the personification of a true loving couple and justifiably so. Made for each other and I think they should be paid a fortune for making the best reviews of equipment I have ever seen. They cover so much important detail in a most unselfish manner.
You should see a video of Cambry when she is addressing an audience in a large hall. Very confident and extremely able. An excellent raconteur. And just as attractive!
We Paramedics in Switzerland are using something like this all the time. Manually to get people that can't walk down to the car without calling the fire brigade.
I think some kind of these "stairchairs" are used in every EMS around the world nowadays. The most basic model does not even include the tracks, and have to be carried by two operators. One step better option is to have the tracks, but without motor. Then it assist only when going down the stairs. This one is obviously best if you're going to need carry the patient/user also up the stairs, but downside of the motor and battery is added weight (if you need to carry it long way). For alone working taxi drivers who take clients with disability up or down the stairs, this is precious.
Thanks for the video. I am presently unable to walk and was recently trapped at a third story doctor's office when the elevator went out. The doc called the local FD and this or something similar is what they brought to assist me downstairs. I'm a big guy and not a lightweight. The fire techs didn't seem to struggle at all.
lol no. He paralysed her as she was a target. But he realised she was a civillian and now has to care for her, after he snapped her neck and paralysed her legs.
some tips on how to use it as used it for a year while i was working as a paramedic*ish*. Remove the carpet the sharper the edge the more the tracks will grip. Always keep much pressure on the stairs and don´t go too fast it really gets scary when the tracks start slipping. Dont try to use it on staircases with turns in them, trust me it will not work. If you have more questions feel free to ask.
Hi I am purchasing one to help with my mom who has mobility issues. We have 8 straight steps a landing then 4 more that turn to the right - do you think I’ll have trouble ?
@@guesswho5370 it depends on how big the landing is and how much those 4 steps have a rotation. I would advise you to try to lend it from someone to test it. Sometimes those companies are happy to come to you and show you how its done. I think you thought of that too but just a reminder that the best way for your mom is somewhere with no steps but I know that thats not always possible.
this is what most ambulances are equipped with btw to transport elderly people up or down the stairs to their flats (at least over here in Germany). There are still other options like the most simple solution: a carrying cloth but they really aren't as comfortable for medic and patient as such a chair.
We have these for emergency exit of wheelchair users in the UK, we use this basement and the manual one in Upper floors, you only need to put force towards stairs to move both devices.
There is also a company that makes one of these that is an electric wheelchair that has the same track system but also can drive around on flat ground and does not require another person to operate it, but obviously is much more expensive
They do make them. Track chairs- they can go on trails and beaches - anywhere. But- my daughter, like many, will sit on the sidelines instead of meeting her friends at the beach or walking trails with her brothers because they are expensive. (Can you tell I feel guilty)
Great thing... you said that it was a bit 'bare' to keep the price down (and I'm sure that is true) but I also think it makes it BETTER. It's no big plastic panels or designs made to 'look good' and that can be in the way while operating. No, I think the design is almost optimal, and none of this putting-pieces-together as soon as you need to use it. I am truly impressed!!! Thank you for testing it out.
Zack, I like how you constantly try to make Cambry's life easier, so she doesn't have to think about everyday stuff, like going up the stairs. It's also pretty cool to see you come up with new ideas
Every Ambulance regardless of country has some version of this, called a "stair chair". They have varying degrees of effectiveness, some powered some manual, I'm a fan of the Stryker stair chair relative to other versions.
I was thrilled when I saw this video that may really make our lives much better. My husband is recently disabled from a major stroke and weights 265 pounds and is partially paralyzed. We have a flight of stairs similar to this video, 14 total and all our bedrooms are upstairs. I am the only person here to help him. Wil his weight be hard to manage on the up and down of the stairs, I know the chair will hold his weight, worried about me handling the chair and him. Hope you can answer this before I purchase one.
That's such a great design & idea! My wife is disabled and we are fortunate to have in the UK a Disability Grant were we get the funds from our Government to which they installed a permanent Stairlift which has been a life & game changer! Along with a Full Bathroom Adaptations and a level access front door changed too, as my wife is a Wheelchair/Mobility Scooter user... I love seeing new ideas & innovations for those who's sadly been disabled from birth or been unlucky like my wife having an accident which has made her permanently disabled. God Bless all you innovators 🥰
We use the same chair for medicals here in CT, USA. Many of the homes are really old and it’s easier than a stretcher in tight spaces. Have used over a decade (manual version was first gen).
Yep, a very useful tool we had for our EMS and FD. Getting a stretcher down a flight of stairs is extremely dangerous. For a patient that is unable to walk, the stair chair was a huge asset. Without one, we would often have to call for lift assist, which takes time, is dependent on more people in tight spaces, and makes everything more difficult for patient and us. One of the best tools our small rural volunteer dept purchased.
The stair chair is actually made for first responders. Every ambulance has em. Not all are motorized like the one in the video but we all have some version nonetheless.
The fact you were just as in a bind pulling her up hunched over very awkwardly as opposed to carrying her just as awkwardly, I don't see it helped much. Now, if this unit went up by itself, it might be a great idea. Coming down would be somewhat easier, but going up looked super awkward!
@@guitarkid1997dv my company has 3 variations with 1 being battery powered. I personally prefere the manual ones. I have almost injured myself many times carrying the power ones back to the Ambulance in SF. Never had that happen when taking patients up stairs surprisingly
Yup. We have the exact same design on our ambulances sans the automatic treads. Two people can operate a standard stair chair relatively easily for a non-bariatric patient.
love how you mention temp disabled ppl as well, it can happen to anyone, especially at old age. your channel isn't just about the niche perm disabled, it's useful for everyone. thanks! my dad loved to travel and after his stroke he stayed in his home for the last 8 years of his life. now we couldn't have afforded these tools/toys anyway and he was so depressed he didn't even try, but if I ever get paralyzed by a stoke as well, I hope these will be more affordable. I don't want to rot away inside like him, I really love going outside even though I also have high blood pressure.

Might be less expensive depending on its intended market. The Stryker and Ferno chairs are emergency medical equipment and have to meet a variety of very stringent standards in all markets in which they are sold. They also have to be able to operate in extreme situations and weather.
Thank you for making this video! I am new to the disabled life, and finding so many obstacles that I never expected to be an issue. Yes, the problem is that you still need to carry the wheelchair up and down the stairs, so this is not a replacement chair that can do stairs, it's an alternative to a stair lift. BUT! You have to have someone help you, you can't do it alone. So if I'm out and about in the world by myself, this product doesn't help me at all. Still on the hunt to find a chair that I can use on my own that can go upstairs as well. You guys are so lovely together, such an inspiring couple!!
Zack: installs elevator so that she doesn’t have to use stairs Also Zack: gets a wheel chair that makes the elevator unnecessary (No hate love the videos, and I also understand that they have separate use cases)
This man is so caring for the wife....do such men exist....really. i have watched many of their videos and he is always out to make sure the wife is as comfortable as possible( from the first day they meet). This is what true love is. God bless this couple.
As an EMT I've used these "stair chairs" a bunch. I've never had used a motorized one, but since we primarily brought the patients down the stairs the motor isn't so important.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I know Ferno makes a power stairchair. I first saw one at a dealer booth at an EMS conference maybe 10 years ago. Don't personally know any agencies that have the power version in use though. fernoems.com/stair-chairs/ez-glide-stair-chair?hl=en-us
@@ShellNut.Gaming Our bariatric patient/ operational support units have ones like these in montreal, we us them to carry heavy patients up stairs, it is made by styker and it is a GIFT FROM THE GODS... seriously... wish we had that on each rig.... *edit* Correction ours are made by Ferno*
Although pricey, that stairlift would be also awesome for moving heavy items up & down stairs besides people; such as furniture, safes, appliances, building materials, fixtures, cans of paint, trays of food and beverages etc.
Living in an area where tornadoes happen frequently, this would be fantastic to have to be able to get my teenage wheelchair bound child to the basement quickly and easily. Thank you for showing this!
@@NonsensicalSpudz they actually don't have many issues on wooden stairs. They stick pretty well too wooden stairs. As long as you're holding back, the chair will still be able to climb up and down easily. Especially with a second person at the feet pushing up slightly so it doesn't want to fall
I was actually thinking about steeper or shallower stairs. Like if they're shallow stairs they're gonna have to pull down soo far. But as for carpet vs wood I thought the carpet would be scary because it's a little less grippy, but it actually did really well
I guess the biggest apparent improvement they could make to this is when a person is using it the center of gravity allows the chair to lean on the stairs by itself with no effort from the operator. What if, god forbid, the operator slips and loses his/her grip? Eeep...
Agreed, it seems like they could have had another set of treads that shares the rear axle (so that they're driven at the same speed) and pivots off that axle so the front can press down against the floor to lean the chair back. The biggest challenge I think is making sure the second set of tracks is the correct length so that the user can't lean forward and cause the chair to fall forward.
That's the one thing that indeed concerns me. Having it stick to the chair if perpendicular force is applied is all fine and dandy, but indeed if the operator slips, the whole thing will fall forward. This whole issue could be easily resolved by having tracks come out of the bottom part, essentially creating a stable platform at a 45 degree angle, no matter if going down or up.
I suspect you could probably just not fold the tracks out. Handle wouldn't be easy to access as it would be near the stairs, but maybe attaching a wired remote would work. Seems like the CG is close enough to vertical that just leaning onto the back of the chair rather than the extended treads would keep it stable on the stairs
I love to see how much you care for your wife. I still remember watching the video when you installed an elevator for her. For those who think love it’s about saying cheesy stuff, refer them to this video so they can see what love really is.
It seems to me that if the tread was longer and centered directly under the rider, that it would be safer to use without fear that it falls forward, away from the stairs. You’d need the tread to bend at the bottom and top of the stairs to transition from stairs to landing and the rider’s back would have to transition from 45 degrees on the stairs to 90 degrees on the landings. A BUILD PROJECT!
That's pretty amazing. My son can't do stairs any more. He can but it's painful and stressful. This gives me a little hope to overcome this problem! Thank you!
It really requires a person to hold the treads against the stairs, so a person can't use it by themselves. Also, its traction depends on what kind of surface is on the stairs.
Yeah, would be nice if it was autonomous. I guess that would require either much longer tracks that would probably have to expand once aligned to stairs. Or something like transforming into a flat "stretcher" to keep the center of mass low.
When you are carrying someone down a staircase, smack your heel in the back of the step so that you know you are stepping safe. Edit: also works when carrying heavy or large item down a staircase.
I hope that innovation will make possible for wheelchair users to walk using their own legs. Meanwhile this is a good option. You're always at the top ❤️
I wonder if there is some way that (part of) this system could be fitted to a regular wheelchair so that you can always bring it with you and so that the wheelchair goes up or down the stairs immediately as well
Yeah I have a wheelchair that has this system built in and is also motorised and allows me to stay in the wheelchair and not have to switch wheelchairs.
It looks very similar to the Evac chairs we have at work for use during a fire alarm when you can't use the lifts/elevators. Keep showing these inovations. It would be nice to see more trade shows on this kind of equipment. Your optimism is a lesson to us all to smile and be happy. God bless.
I'm a T-12 L-1 spinal cord injury. I'm very accomplished with maneuvering my chair and handing the the occasional tip-overs, but I would never trust that chair for myself or anyone else. It ONLY takes one mere slip of those tracks and the person is going to go for a horrific journey down the steps
I’m a firefighter/EMT, we use a chair very similar to this to help safely transport people downstairs called the Stryker Stair-PRO. It is an essential piece of equipment for us! It helps prevent injuries to first responder and those that call us for help.

I just wish the Stryker was easier to go up stairs.
I was just thinking of this, we used to have one of these on our trucks that looked just like the one in the video
Same. We carry the Ferno version on our Paramedic fire engines. Ferno's power stair chair uses a Milwaukee 28 volt battery. They're a great invention

Hey Jerry, I use those mobile airlifts in my job (EMT in Italy) so I can give you some suggestion to ease the process:
When tilting the lift backwards (to go up) put your feete on the big black bar and push it while pulling the extended handle to yourself
When going up stay at the maximus distance and push down (down towards the stairs, not the base of the stair) so you always maintain contact with the threads.
When tilting down (when you reach down) use your weight in order to counterbalance Cambry.
In the second half of the video I see you mention what I suggested on the second point, having a third person helping with the handles in the lower part help quite a lot.

hello i am an EMT and this is called a stairchair this is used to bring patients who cant walk and are upstairs down, the way these are made is the tracks on the back have very intense friction to make pushing them don stair easier, not the problem is its much better and safer with two providers

I wish we'd have had this for my grandmother back in the 80s and 90s. She'd been relegated to a wheelchair after a series of massive stroke and it was so hard getting her places like getting into our house. Grandpa, dad and my uncle would have to lift and carry her up the front stairs for every family function. Eventually they came to their senses and we started having family functions at their house in winter and our yard in warm weather. I'll never forget how they struggled to get her up stairs.

It a “stair chair” we use it in the fire/ems service just for that reason. Ours is not motorized though. It’s easier than lifting a stretcher up and down stairs. They really do come in handy.
This is intriguing as Ferno makes a motorized version that comes in at ~$10k USD, while this is listed at
@@mileslamberson3992 I dont think a stair chair is needed enough to need motorized one. Plus EMS would have one more thing to worry about (having the battery charged and ready to go). But then it depends where you work i guess.
@@Hans353definitely depends on location. Here in the UK carry chairs (what I've seen called a Styker Chair, Stair Chair and EZ Glide in this comments section) are used a lot just because they're easier to use than a trolley/stretcher/cot, especially in tight spaces and where there are stairs. Considering the biggest health-related "carrier ender" in HCPs are back injuries I am surprised electric carry chairs aren't used more (or even at all, this is my first time seeing one). In the hospital we don't lift at all, there's equipment for all of that, and if it can be powered equipment then it is. Surely it should be the same in the back of an Ambo, especially since EMTs and paramedics have to lift/carry/move patients more than any other healthcare pro.

It’s lightweight enough that my friend could carry it up or down stairs when we needed to. (I can walk very short distances) It was comfortable for me to sit in, I would say if you’re super tall it might be a little cramped. I’m 5’1” and the foot rests were the perfect height. This may not be the best one for long term use, you get what you pay for, but for something that fits our budget that gives me accessibility while we deal with my health this was amazing.

We use this in EMS without the motor. This chair is a back saver when you need to get someone downstairs safely.
Idk about a back saver since they aren’t the lightest thing ever even before you strap a patient onto them. It is safer though
I did volunteer EMS for 5 years and stair chairs are truly a life(and back) saver.
Was yours motorized? or manual?
@@MobileStairLift ours was manual, but still an amazing tool to have.
As a concept I think it’s okay and maybe a good thing for public places. The biggest problem I have with it is the seatbelt. Every new wheelchair I get, the seatbelt is the first thing I remove. I’m very active in my chair and yes I’ve had a fall or 2 (and more). Falling forward with a seatbelt means you end up on the floor with a wheelchair on top of you, falling backwards is the same. With no belt, your fall is much less dangerous for the user’s overall health…. I’m very interested your thoughts on this too😉
A seatbelt is necessary to have in a wheelchair as depending on your injury it can be that you don't have the control to balance yourself in the chair and would just fall out of it. Removing the seatbelt is a choice that should be available but shipping it without the seatbelt is a bigger problem
Thank you!
I used this same unit to help my mom (she's 83) when she had arthritis in her hip. We used it for about 2 weeks. It was a great help to get up and down two sets of stairs. We had a two week free trial and after her treatment was over, we returned it. Best thing and would totally recommend it.
Did you used to out a lot of pressure to tilt it? I just got it today and i find it very difficult to use even when im following all the steps. Specially going down, I feel like it drags me down and i have to be holding it with too much strength. It also broke a few of my stairs.
@@pattykat7734 I’m trying to remember. Make you extend the handles it makes it easier to lean it back. It does take a little getting the hang of it. I to forgot some of the steps. If it wasn’t so expensive I would have kept it. I’m glad they had a return policy. Once I got the hang of it it became much easier. Make sure the treads are going up and down the stairs on an angle. They should “ride” down/up on the edge of each step. It been a number of years since we had it so I don’t remember all the steps. My mom was a bit scared at first going down the stairs but got easier as we used it. You don’t need to push it up or down let the motor do all the work. I’ll rewatch Zack’s video to refresh my memory.
Make sure you unlock the treads before going up or down.

We Paramedics in Switzerland are using something like this all the time. Manually to get people that can't walk down to the car without calling the fire brigade.
Latvia here, same thing but without a motor. But I wish it had a motor.
In the US we use something called a stair chair the exact same thing as you guys just without a motor, it's pretty handy too as you guys already know
I think some kind of these "stairchairs" are used in every EMS around the world nowadays. The most basic model does not even include the tracks, and have to be carried by two operators. One step better option is to have the tracks, but without motor. Then it assist only when going down the stairs. This one is obviously best if you're going to need carry the patient/user also up the stairs, but downside of the motor and battery is added weight (if you need to carry it long way). For alone working taxi drivers who take clients with disability up or down the stairs, this is precious.
Thanks for the video. I am presently unable to walk and was recently trapped at a third story doctor's office when the elevator went out. The doc called the local FD and this or something similar is what they brought to assist me downstairs. I'm a big guy and not a lightweight. The fire techs didn't seem to struggle at all.

this is what most ambulances are equipped with btw to transport elderly people up or down the stairs to their flats (at least over here in Germany). There are still other options like the most simple solution: a carrying cloth but they really aren't as comfortable for medic and patient as such a chair.
gemany is such a thid world country in terms of technology
We have these for emergency exit of wheelchair users in the UK, we use this basement and the manual one in Upper floors, you only need to put force towards stairs to move both devices.
There is also a company that makes one of these that is an electric wheelchair that has the same track system but also can drive around on flat ground and does not require another person to operate it, but obviously is much more expensive

What a guy. He's really smart. The girl looks happy too.
We use this chairs in our Emergency Medical Service here in Germany. They are very good for my back :)
I was thinking this chair looked familiar. My hospital has them for emergencies to evacuate patients that are unable to walk down the stairs.
We use the same chair for medicals here in CT, USA. Many of the homes are really old and it’s easier than a stretcher in tight spaces. Have used over a decade (manual version was first gen).
I was going to say it would be great for fire/EMS services.
Yep, a very useful tool we had for our EMS and FD. Getting a stretcher down a flight of stairs is extremely dangerous. For a patient that is unable to walk, the stair chair was a huge asset. Without one, we would often have to call for lift assist, which takes time, is dependent on more people in tight spaces, and makes everything more difficult for patient and us. One of the best tools our small rural volunteer dept purchased.
Do they work on wood?
This would come in handy in an emergency situation. Such as an evacuation of a tall building in which the elevator could not be used.
The stair chair is actually made for first responders. Every ambulance has em. Not all are motorized like the one in the video but we all have some version nonetheless.
That’s what they originally made for
I had to evac 2 patients in one of those lifts they were not lightweight either. It took two on the bottom and one guiding top. That was a rough day.
The fact you were just as in a bind pulling her up hunched over very awkwardly as opposed to carrying her just as awkwardly, I don't see it helped much. Now, if this unit went up by itself, it might be a great idea. Coming down would be somewhat easier, but going up looked super awkward!
I love that you never see obstacles in life , but opportunities to improve on it! You are most inspirational!!

This would actually be a really helpful thing for moving heavy stuff, if the concept was applied to a larger area to hold boxes and large objects.
Although pricey, that stairlift would be also awesome for moving heavy items up & down stairs besides people; such as furniture, safes, appliances, building materials, fixtures, cans of paint, trays of food and beverages etc.
In case most don’t know, that’s what this device is actually made for. It’s not purpose-built as a wheelchair - it was made to move furniture.
Living in an area where tornadoes happen frequently, this would be fantastic to have to be able to get my teenage wheelchair bound child to the basement quickly and easily.
Thank you for showing this!
I feel like the treads should be adjustable for different stairs without having to hold it down so much
I could see that, because treads will be fine on carpeted stairs because they're rubber, but I bet on wooden it may have issues
@@NonsensicalSpudz they actually don't have many issues on wooden stairs. They stick pretty well too wooden stairs. As long as you're holding back, the chair will still be able to climb up and down easily. Especially with a second person at the feet pushing up slightly so it doesn't want to fall
I was actually thinking about steeper or shallower stairs. Like if they're shallow stairs they're gonna have to pull down soo far. But as for carpet vs wood I thought the carpet would be scary because it's a little less grippy, but it actually did really well
I find it really cool for Hollidays like you go on a house that is not adapted that chair can hel
@@starvingscientist It is basically paramedic evacuation chair. So you can calm down It works at every surface as long as operator can stand on it.
I guess the biggest apparent improvement they could make to this is when a person is using it the center of gravity allows the chair to lean on the stairs by itself with no effort from the operator. What if, god forbid, the operator slips and loses his/her grip? Eeep...
Agreed, it seems like they could have had another set of treads that shares the rear axle (so that they're driven at the same speed) and pivots off that axle so the front can press down against the floor to lean the chair back. The biggest challenge I think is making sure the second set of tracks is the correct length so that the user can't lean forward and cause the chair to fall forward.
That's the one thing that indeed concerns me. Having it stick to the chair if perpendicular force is applied is all fine and dandy, but indeed if the operator slips, the whole thing will fall forward.
This whole issue could be easily resolved by having tracks come out of the bottom part, essentially creating a stable platform at a 45 degree angle, no matter if going down or up.
I suspect you could probably just not fold the tracks out. Handle wouldn't be easy to access as it would be near the stairs, but maybe attaching a wired remote would work. Seems like the CG is close enough to vertical that just leaning onto the back of the chair rather than the extended treads would keep it stable on the stairs
Yeah what if she break her legs
@@sketchie251 ...im 99.9% sure she can't use her legs to begin with so that would do nothing more than cause pain

I love to see how much you care for your wife. I still remember watching the video when you installed an elevator for her. For those who think love it’s about saying cheesy stuff, refer them to this video so they can see what love really is.
It seems to me that if the tread was longer and centered directly under the rider, that it would be safer to use without fear that it falls forward, away from the stairs.
You’d need the tread to bend at the bottom and top of the stairs to transition from stairs to landing and the rider’s back would have to transition from 45 degrees on the stairs to 90 degrees on the landings.
A BUILD PROJECT!
You could use it to take it on a holiday or weekend trip if you are staying in a remote cabin

That's pretty amazing. My son can't do stairs any more. He can but it's painful and stressful. This gives me a little hope to overcome this problem! Thank you!
It really requires a person to hold the treads against the stairs, so a person can't use it by themselves. Also, its traction depends on what kind of surface is on the stairs.
I actually works on all surfaces, Wood, Steel, Cement, Carpet etc,.
Check out our channel.
Yeah, would be nice if it was autonomous. I guess that would require either much longer tracks that would probably have to expand once aligned to stairs. Or something like transforming into a flat "stretcher" to keep the center of mass low.
This looks like a great idea for businesses, government buildings, older buildings to have on site.
What a beautiful couple! I'm sure this guy just loves to carry this beautiful lady up stairs! God bless you all.
When you are carrying someone down a staircase, smack your heel in the back of the step so that you know you are stepping safe.

I hope that innovation will make possible for wheelchair users to walk using their own legs. Meanwhile this is a good option. You're always at the top ❤️
I wonder if there is some way that (part of) this system could be fitted to a regular wheelchair so that you can always bring it with you and so that the wheelchair goes up or down the stairs immediately as well
Yeah I have a wheelchair that has this system built in and is also motorised and allows me to stay in the wheelchair and not have to switch wheelchairs.
It looks very similar to the Evac chairs we have at work for use during a fire alarm when you can't use the lifts/elevators. Keep showing these inovations. It would be nice to see more trade shows on this kind of equipment. Your optimism is a lesson to us all to smile and be happy. God bless.
Good as a back up in case the elevator is out.

It might be funny to you guys, but imagine the more pain she would have to suffer by getting her hair pulled..
I'm a T-12 L-1 spinal cord injury. I'm very accomplished with maneuvering my chair and handing the the occasional tip-overs, but I would never trust that chair for myself or anyone else. It ONLY takes one mere slip of those tracks and the person is going to go for a horrific journey down the steps
