How stair lift works?

A stair lift is essentially a chair that travels along and rail or track that's mounted to a stairway.

There is a motor within the bottom of the chair that's usually powered by a battery also within the bottom of the chair. The stair lift motor turns a gear that's meshed into a geared strip on the track or rail. The chair is moved along the geared strip when the gear turns. When the motor turns the gear the chair moves one direction, when the motor's direction is reversed the chair moves the other way.

Call/Send switches are accustomed to move the stair lift chair without anyone being thereon. This is often particularly helpful if two people use the lift and therefore the lift is at the other end of the track when a user wants to use it. The user simply calls the lift to return to them employing a call/send switch. Another use of call/send switch is to send the lift away after use. Some people do not like the design of the lift parked within the main living area of the house and can send it to the other end when not in use. They simply call it back when needed.
