Baronmead Solution
Baronmead’s solution was to recommend and supply a Stairmate Major mobile wheelchair carrier stairclimber and wheelchair. The Stairmate Major was ideal due to the wide entry and large staircase. Fixed lifting solutions were not an option.
Our solution included an ongoing service contract, delivery and training for up to 8 staff.
