scalacombi – climb stairs safely and with ease

Mobile stairclimbing device with integrated seat

scalacombi - The mobile stair climbing aid with seat

Every step becomes an obstacle when you can no longer climb stairs independently due to illness or disability.

Whether steep, narrow or winding stairs, made of wood, stone or carpet, the scalacombi easily and gently negotiates all stairs.

The sensors integrated in the scalacombi facilitate control for the operator and guarantee the highest level of safety in addition to gentle movement.

Here’s how it works: scalamobil in simple terms

What is the difference between a mobile stair climbing aid and a stair lift?

Unlike stair lifts, our mobile stair climbing aids do not require any structural changes. This means no energy-consuming discussions and coordination in owners' meetings and no waiting for craftsmen.

Our mobile stair-climbing aids are independent of stair coverings and stairwells. In addition, Alber products are reimbursable by the statutory health insurance.
