An electric stair lift system for transporting people and/or cargo up and down a flight of stairs includes a pair of parallel rails, a platform that is slidably engaged with the rails, an electric winch with a take-up spool, and pair of straps attached between the slidable platform and the take-up spool of the winch. In a preferred embodiment, the electric stair lift system is portable, so that it may be installed in such a way that it may be easily removed, stored and transported, as desired.

A knockdown, portable lift is relatively compact and lightweight for transport and use where there is no existing means for lifting a load between a lower surface and an upper surface or where the existing means cannot be used. Components of the lift are stored in a base portion of the lift and are assembled on site for forming a lift frame extending between the upper and lower surfaces. A platform and drive assembly are supported on the lift frame and are driven together up and down tracks on each side of the lift frame using a rotary drive, such as a hand crank or electric motor, to power the drive assembly. The drive assembly is operable by a person on or off the platform from either the upper or lower surface or traversing stairs over which the platform is moving. The drive assembly incorporates a unique overspeed braking system and a unique clutch arrangement.

A wheelchair lift apparatus that includes a stand that includes a pair of inclined rails; and a platform adapted to carry a wheelchair, wherein the platform includes a driving portion and a driven portion for moving the platform along the rails, wherein, when the driving portion actuates the driven portion in a first direction, the platform ascends along the rails, wherein, when the driving portion actuates the driven portion in a second and opposite direction, the platform descends along the rails.

The present disclosure relates to a handrail or support assembly for a stairway. More particularly, this disclosure describes a slidable holder or carrier automatically movable along the length of the handrail or support assembly to lift or carry objects for a user from one end of the stairway to another. In one illustrative embodiment, the assembly may include a handrail or support attached to a wall. A trolley assembly may be placed within the handrail or support and slidable along the length the handrail or support. An arm or extension may be coupled to the trolley assembly and connected to a carrier or holder. An actuator may slide or move the trolley assembly up and down the handrail or support assembly. Through the system described above, cargo may be lifted from one level to another level automatically.

A step assembly includes a horizontally extending mounting foot section, a vertically extending head section, a single sloping support member interconnecting the mounting foot section and head section, and a step member having a number of integrally formed horizontal steps extending above and attached to the single sloping support member. The step assembly is narrow in a width dimension for use on a narrow dock section, and the horizontal steps are configured to facilitate personal access to a raised boat on a lift.
