Perfect stairlift solution for a curving staircase

Essential Features

  • Battery powered and recharged from your home electrical supply. This ensures your lift will work even in power outages.
  • Positive drive system such as rack and pinion is essential. Do not consider the purchase of a dangerous rope hauled lift.
  • Over-speed governor and safety gear as standard to guard against uncontrolled descent in the case of gearbox failure
  • A swivel seat to enable safe use of the stair lift at the top of the stairs.
  • Minimum of two year parts warranty (don’t be fooled by limited “life time warranties” that cover only the motor.
  • Professional installation by company employees not subcontractors.
  • Key switch should be supplied as standard to prevent unauthorized use

 

Peer recommendation

Do you know anybody that owns a stairlift? If so, talk to them – their experience could prove useful. What do they like about their stairlift? What would they change?

Shop around

Ensure you have more than one stairlift quote so you can do a like for like comparison on the complete package, including product features and aftercare services. Choose the right stairlift in your own time.

Try before you buy

We understand that purchasing a stairlift is an important decision. This is why we recommend you ask if one of our recent customers would allow you to go for a test ride before you buy.
