Models
Sit Down Model
For those whose who need a seating position, this model has a full swivel seat allowing the user to turn a full 90 degrees when the chair stops at the top of the stairway. This means the user can exit the lift with both feet on the level landing. When not in use the chair folds allowing free access for pedestrian traffic.

Sit & Stand Model
This allows the user(s) of the stair lift to choose to ascend / descend the stairs in either the usual seated position or to stand on the footrest, whilst holding onto a special folding steady / security bar for stability. It is suitable for those who may have problems with bending their knees, or where multiple users with different requirements will be using the stair lift.

Stand Up Model ( Standing / Perch Seat Model)
Suitable where the stairs are narrow, or because the users legs will not bend enough to allow them to sit down on the stairlift. It is operated by the remote control system, or alternatively with the wanderlead control which can be positioned for maximum comfort and ease of operation.

Options
Indoor models:
. Folding Transfer platform - forms a bridge where there is a turn at the top of the stairs eg bridges two stairs, so passenger can exit / access stairlift level with top landing
. Hinged Rail at bottom of stairs. Where the lower track may be an obstacle, that section is hinged so can fold out of the way when stairlift is not in use
