Abstract:

An accessibility lift device that may use singular or multiple energy sources, including solar, wind, hydro, regenerative energy, in addition to or instead of conventional line power to provide users with greater equipment reliability and stability during a prolonged absence of one or more of the available energy sources. The accessibility lift device may be a stair lift or chair for stairs. Early prediction measures may be taken as to servicing needs based upon detected lift speed, motor current, battery storage levels, and appropriate alerts may be generated accordingly. Increasing alertable radius by means of wireless communications will allow lifts installed outdoors and in remote areas to be more closely monitored and maintained.
