Stair climbing device with chair The Alber Scalacombi S46 from Invacare is a mobile solution for people who need help going up and down stairs but are not dependent on a wheelchair for their daily lives.

Stairs can be a major barrier for people with reduced mobility, especially in homes without an elevator or in buildings where installing a fixed platform is not possible. The Scalacombi S46 can be a flexible alternative, as it does not require structural modifications to the house and can be used on different types of stairs, including narrow, steep or spiral stairs.
The climbing technology uses two pairs of electrically powered wheels that climb step by step in a controlled manner. The user sits on the integrated seat and the device is operated by a trained attendant.
