How Do Stairlifts Work?

Stairlifts are motorised devices that are specifically designed to transport people up and down stairs safely and efficiently. This is made possible by the individual sitting on the chair and activating the device with which the stairlift will utilise the rail system to traverse up and down. The user controls the movement of the stairlift using intuitive controls located on the armrest or a handheld remote. These controls allow the user to start, stop and even adjust the speed and direction of the stairlift as needed. Ensuring that the experience of climbing the stairs with a stairlift is as smooth and safe as possible. Overall, stairlifts provide a convenient and accessible solution for individuals with mobility challenges to navigate stairs with safety and independence.

How Much Is A Stairlift?

Many different circumstances can relate to the price of a stairlift. For instance, whether you have a straight or curved staircase, how long your staircase is or how intricate your staircase is – such as corners. So as for how much a stairlift costs, we cannot provide an exact number. However, we suggest you complete our quick quote form to get started on your stairlift purchase.

What is the difference between a curved stairlift and a straight stairlift?

A straight stairlift is fitted to a straight track, allowing you to move smoothly up and down your stairs in a single direction. A curved stairlift fitted to a curved track, designed to follow the curves and bends of your staircase. This type of track is custom made to your home, and because of this they are usually a little more expensive than a straight stairlift.

How much space does a stairlift take?

The space a stairlift takes up depends upon the make and model of the stairlift and also the layout of your home. Stairlifts vary in shape and size, and depending on the type of stairlift you choose you will need clearance space at the top and bottom of your stairs to accommodate the rail and allow for the user to get on and off the stairlift easily. Compact stairlifts take up less room than a stairlifts with standard dimensions.

How do I know if my staircase is wide enough for a stairlift?

Should I rent or buy a stairlift?

Stairlift rental allows to pay an affordable monthly fee until you no longer require your stairlift. Stairlift hire is ideal for temporary installation to help with hospital discharge, when you are expected to make a full recovery in a few weeks, or for providing for guests with reduced mobility when they stay at your home. If you’re going to need a stairlift for more than a few weeks or months, we would suggest buying a stairlift. Our competitively priced stairlifts, allow you to own a stairlift and our finance terms allow you to spread payments interest free.

Are reconditioned stairlifts inferior quality to new stairlifts?

Reconditioned stairlifts are used stairlifts that have been restored and fully serviced ready for resale. Even though they’ve been pre-loved, they meet our high quality and safety standards. Reconditioned stairlifts provide a reliable and smooth ride equal to a brand new stairlift, and are often a cheaper alternative to new stairlifts.

Do stairlifts use a lot of electricity?

How is a stairlift operated?

Stairlifts are battery powered. An energy efficient stairlift battery makes stairlift use more reliable in the event of a power cut. The battery powers a small motor connected to gears so the stairlift can move up and down the stairs. To move up and down the stairlift is operated by easy to use armrest controls and a remote control.
