The video documents a couple, Zack and Cambry, installing a lift (Trio Alta) in their home to help Cambry, who uses a wheelchair, navigate the stairs. They discuss the challenges of stairs for people with mobility issues and the solutions they've tried before, including Zack carrying Cambry up the stairs. The installation process involves cutting a hole in the floor and ceiling, adding support beams, and assembling the lift. The lift has various safety features, including an infrared light curtain, sensors, and a safety pan. After the installation, Cambry takes her first ride and is thrilled with the independence it gives her. They mention some minor issues, such as a steep ramp and static electricity, but overall are pleased with the lift.
