A chair configured to movably couple to parallel guide rails of a frame includes a support bar having a first end and an opposing second end. A transverse cross-member is coupled to the first end of the support bar. The transverse cross-member has a first side portion and an opposing second side portion. A first support assembly is coupled to the first side portion of the transverse cross-member. The first support assembly is configured to removably couple to a first guide rail of the parallel guide rails. A second support assembly is coupled to the second side portion of the transverse cross-member. The second support assembly is configured to removably couple to a second guide rail of the parallel guide rails.

1. A chair configured to movably couple to parallel guide rails of a frame, the chair comprising: a support bar having a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the support bar is adjustable to adjust a length of the support bar;a transverse cross-member coupled to the first end of the support bar, the transverse cross-member having a first side portion and an opposing second side portion;a first support assembly coupled to the first side portion of the transverse cross-member, the first support assembly configured to removably couple to a first guide rail of the parallel guide rails; anda second support assembly coupled to the second side portion of the transverse cross-member, the second support assembly configured to removably couple to a second guide rail of the parallel guide rails, wherein the transverse cross-member extends transversely beyond a first side and a second side of the chair so that the chair is movably coupled within a space between the first guide rail and the second guide rail. 2. The chair of claim 1, wherein the first support assembly comprises: a first support bracket coupled to the first side portion of the transverse cross-member;a first roller coupled to the first support bracket, the first roller configured to movably contact a first surface of the first guide rail; anda second roller coupled to the first support bracket, the second roller configured to movably contact a second surface of the first guide rail. 3. The chair of claim 2, further comprising a wheel coupled to the first support bracket, the wheel configured to contact a support surface with the chair in a chair transport configuration to facilitate moving the chair on the support surface. 4. The chair of claim 2, wherein the second support assembly comprises: a second support bracket coupled to the second side portion of the transverse cross-member;a third roller coupled to the second support bracket, the third roller configured to movably contact a first surface of the second guide rail; anda fourth roller coupled to the second support bracket, the fourth roller configured to movably contact a second surface of the second guide rail. 5. The chair of claim 4, further comprising a wheel coupled to the second support bracket, the wheel configured to contact a support surface with the chair in a chair transport configuration to facilitate moving the chair on the support surface. 6. The chair of claim 1, further comprising a seat support rotatably coupled to the second end of the support bar. 7. The chair of claim 6, wherein the seat support is configured to rotate with respect to the support bar in a first plane. 8. The chair of claim 6, further comprising a seat coupled to the seat support. 9. The chair of claim 1, further comprising a wheel coupled to the second end of the support bar. 10. A support system for suspending a user from a lift, the lift having a frame including parallel guide rails extending along a length of the lift, the support system comprising: a chair operatively coupled to the guide rails, the chair configured to move along the guide rails between a first end of the frame and a second end of the frame;a sensing system operatively coupled to the lift and the chair, the sensing system including one or more sensors configured to detect a chair full forward position, a chair transport configuration, and a chair home position; anda controller in signal communication with the sensing system, the controller configured to control operation of the lift based at least in part on signal communication with the sensing system. 11. The support system of claim 10, wherein, with the chair in the chair transport configuration, the controller is configured to discontinue lowering the lift to facilitate removing the chair from the guide rails. 12. The support system of claim 11, wherein with the chair in the chair transport configuration, the controller is configured to prevent movement of the lift until the chair is removed from the guide rails. 13. The support system of claim 11, wherein, with the chair removed from the guide rails, the controller is configured to lower the lift to a lift home position. 14. The support system of claim 10, further comprising a stopper positioned at the first end of the frame to prevent movement of the chair from the chair full forward position past the stopper. 15. The support system of claim 10, wherein, in the chair full forward position, the chair is positioned at the first end of the frame, and the controller is configured to lower the lift with respect to the support surface. 16. The support system of claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to prevent vertical movement of the lift if the chair is not in the chair full forward position. 17. A method for suspending a chair from a lift, the lift including a frame having parallel guide rails extending along a length of the lift, said method comprising: raising the lift from a lift home position to a first intermediary position corresponding to a chair transport configuration;positioning the chair in the chair transport configuration with respect to the guide rails so that laterally opposing upper rollers of the chair are positioned above a top surface of the guide rails;raising the lift so that each of the laterally opposing upper rollers of the chair contacts a top surface of a corresponding guide rail of the parallel guide rails to urge a bottom of the chair to move toward the lift; andraising the lift to an elevated position wherein laterally opposing lower rollers of the chair contact a bottom surface of the corresponding guide rail to support the chair suspended from the frame. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising, with the chair in the chair transport configuration, removing the chair from the guide rails. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising, with the chair in a chair full forward position, lowering the lift with respect to a support surface.
