I want to buy a second-hand stair lift for someone. These things are
about 4 metres long, and quite heavy. Has anyone experience of them,
and whether or not they can be dismantled? What's a good way of
transporting one of these, can that length be handled by arsel farce or
someone? Could I stick it in an Estate car & drive with a length
sticking out of the back with a red rag on it? Ideas?

I got one from Boilerdoc John last year

I just lobbed it on the roof rack of my escort van which I presume isn't
much longer than an estate car

How long is your car and how long is the stair lift ?

You can, of course remove the seat and sling it in the back of the car
