Rail options

Longer runout
A longer overrun than the standard-length overrun can be installed at both the top and bottom of the stairs. The
maximum length is limited by the available space.
Left or right rail
The rail can be fitted on either the left or the right side of the stairs. Viewed from the bottom, if the rail is on the right
then it is called a right rail. If the rail is on the left then it is called a left rail.
Parking locations
If there is no room at the start or the end of the rail for parking the stairlift, an extra parking location can be made
along the rail. Any such parking point will need to be located on a straight section or a horizontal bend. The location
of the extra parking location must be such that the parked stairlift does not cause any inconvenience for anyone else
when they use the stairs.
