Does anyone know the name of the company that makes a stair lift that can be used on Shabbos?
I would also appreciate it if you have the phone number. Thank you.
Tzomet Institute makes the needed device. It is available in some jewish communities in the US
Google shabbos mode stair lift
shabbos switch is grama.
Not simple at all. As I posted in the KosherSwitch thread, some very big poskim (R’ Chaim Ozer, Chazon Ish, R’ Moshe Feinstein R’ Elyashiv) hold that a using a device which was designed for the purpose of performing a melachah is considered a direct act.
I believe this is why R’ Belsky wrote that using the KosherSwitch would be an issur d’Oraisa.
This is what I’m referring to:

The Shabbos Switch and the devices by the Tzomet Institute are differnt. The Tzomet Institute devices have a clear Hashkama from Rav Shlomo Zalman
