Chair Lifts
RONA Elevators & Escalators L.L.C. designs, manufactures, and installs chair lift systems
across the Middle East and North Africa.
Our chair lifts are engineered to deliver safe, comfortable, and independent stair
mobility for elderly users and people with limited mobility—without major structural
changes.
All RONA chair lifts are designed in accordance with EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 safety
principles for vertical transportation (where applicable), together with ISO standards,
accessibility regulations, Civil Defense requirements, and local authority codes across
MENA.
Chair lifts from RONA are ideal for homes, commercial buildings, hospitality venues,
healthcare facilities, and public spaces, supporting straight and curved staircases for
both new-build and retrofit projects.
What Is a Chair Lift?
A chair lift is a seat-based mobility system mounted on a rail along a staircase, allowing
users to travel up or down the stairs while seated.
Unlike elevators or platform lifts, chair lifts:
● Require no shaft or pit
● Involve minimal civil work
● Install quickly with low disruption
This makes chair lifts one of the fastest and most cost-effective accessibility solutions.
