A Little History of the Stairlift

It’s funny how some inventions stand the test of time. The stairlift, for example, isn’t a modern invention at all. It was first imagined over 100 years ago in the 1920s by an American engineer called C.C. Crispen.  He wanted to help a poorly friend get up and down the stairs easier. A simple act of kindness turned into something that’s now helped generations stay in the homes they love.

Of course, stairlifts have come a long way since then. They’re now smoother, safer, and far more discreet, with no clunky contraptions bolted onto your wall. These days, stairlifts Bristol companies like Pearce Bros Stairlifts are available to install your stairlift for you.  It’s easy to install and will really help at home.

It all feels rather in keeping with the “make do and mend” spirit many of us grew up with. Back then, the best solutions were the practical ones, built to last, built to help, and built with real thought behind them. Stairlifts are just the modern version of that thinking, clever, useful, and designed to make life that little bit easier.
