Other terms
DC (battery) power - This means that the stairlift does not trail an electrical cable behind it, but is self-powered. The battery charges when the stairlift is at rest and a fully charged battery will power 15-20 trips up and down the stairs.
'Paddle' switch control - The up and down motion of the stairlift is operated by a simple paddle switch on both arms of the chair.
Diagnostic digital display - Any (rare) faults with the stairlift are displayed digitally as a number or letter, providing clear and simple information for users and engineers.
Smooth start/stop action - The upward and downward movement begins smoothly and slowly, without jarring or sudden stops.
Lockable isolation switch - The stairlift can be locked with a key so that others (children, for example) cannot use it. The stairlift continues to charge when locked.
Swivel seat with locking catch - The seat of the stairlift turns for ease of access at the top of the stairs, and locks to prevent accidental slipping.
Fold-up seat & footrest - When not in use, the seat and footrest of the stairlift can be folded away to provide easy access to the stairway.
Infra-red remote control - The stairlift can be 'called' or 'sent' up or down the stairs by using a remote control similar to a TV remote control.
Safety cut-out sensors - special sensors in the stairlift tell it where to stop and start, and prevent it from moving if an object obstructs it.
Dual electronic and mechanical braking systems - double safety systems mean that the stairlift is unable to descend unexpectedly or at speed.
Rack and pinion drive - the track uses this secure rail structure to provide smooth and stable movement up and down the stairs.
Overspeed governor - Controls the speed of the stairlift to prevent sudden or rapid descent.
Overhang - If the stairlift overhangs at the top of the stairs there will be an extra piece of track that protrudes onto the landing.
Weight Capacity - This refers to the maximum weight a particular stairlift will carry.
Heavy Duty - Specifically designed individuals who may be of a larger persuasion, our maximum weight capacity on either the outdoor, perch or straight stairlift is 350lbs or 25 stone.
