More Details

Armrests
Lift up, unpadded moulded armrests
Footrest
Slip resistant covering, lift up
Powered footrest is optional
Seat
Lift up, padded on indoor model, unpadded on outdoor model. A belt with buckle is standard on the seated model. The seat swivels which allows the user to turn a full 90 degrees when the chair stops at the top of the stairway. This is operated by a lever on the side of the seat. This means the passenger can exit the lift with both feet on the level landing
Safety Features
Five obstacle sensors - the lift stops when a sensor detects an obstacle
Onboard diagnostic control panel allows easy identification of problems with the stair lift. An LED number display at the side of the unit indicates normal operation, or a fault exists. allows fast diagnosis and remedy of most potential faults
Electronic and mechanical braking systems
The stair lift is fitted as standard with electronic and mechanical braking systems to eliminate any possibility of an uncontrolled descent of the stair lift
Power
Safe 24 volt rechargeable batteries. The batteries are maintenance free and charged by a safe 15 volts AC, which is stepped down from the domestic mains supply by the transformer
Batteries are charged when lift is positioned at either end of the tracking system on the power docking station
Factors to Consider
Various features such as seat width and height are not adjustable, therefore will not suit every user
A seat belt should be used to secure occupant while in transit.
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 stair lift. It is operated by the remote control system, or alternatively with the wander lead control which can be positioned for maximum comfort and ease of operation.
Acorn Curved Model
Automatically adjusts the speed and level of the seat when moving around corners.
Other 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 stair lift 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 stair lift is not in use.
