A stairlift system is provided comprising a rail (20 fig. 3) and a stanchion (10) for supporting the stairlift rail (20 fig. 3). The stanchion 10 comprises a foot 9, an upstanding member 7, 8 and fixing means 40. The upstanding member comprises first and second elements 8, 7. The first element 8 comprises a first end portion for coupling to the foot 9 so as to transfer a load to the foot 9. The second element 7 comprises a mount 11 to which the stairlift rail (20 fig. 3) is attachable. The distance between the mount 11 and the first end portion is continuously adjustable by moving the second element 8 relative to the first element 7. The fixing means 40 is operable to reversibly fix the first element 8 to the second element 7 so that the upstanding member can support the load. The fixing means or gripper 40 comprises first and second elements 5, 6 with inclined or wedged surfaces 15, 16, a fastener 2 and means 19 for frictional engagement with the first element 8. |
