Default Speeding up a stairlift

The configuration of the rail for a curved stairlift is key. The first
Ascending string has to be long enough to reach the first landing In one piece
and the same applies to the descending one to the first landing then it
requires just one curved piece to join the two. The seat shouldnt tip over
the stairs which feels quite alarming. Lazy installers looking to save money
will just use a standard length rail and just add pieces of rail to fit which
slows down the seat if not stop It altogether at each intersection making the
ride excruciatingly slow.
