Straight Stairlifts - What You Need to Know

Straight stairlifts are made up of a chair placed on the side of your stairs that will take you up them without having to walk. These are especially useful if you have any kinds of disabilities or illnesses which restrict you from climbing stairs or make climbing stairs difficult.

Straight stairlifts only go straight up the stairs meaning that they are ideal if you have one set of stairs that don’t bend round corners.

Getting into and out of these straight stairlifts have been made easier in the last few years. Many of them will swivel around when you get to the top or bottom of the stairs allowing you to easily get out of the chair without having to twist and possibly cause more pain. The lifts are also really easy to use, all you have to do is press a button and hey presto the chair will move up the stairs. Straight stairlifts get off to smooth and easy starts and also stop very smoothly allowing for an easier experience.

You can get many different types of seats for straight stairlifts which is very good because you can get very comfortable chairs and many different materials can be used, so you shouldn’t have any difficulties in finding the perfect chair for you. Straight stairlifts are also easy to store, they are very thin allowing for the stairs to be used still anyway but if you do still need more space then the chair can be folded away allowing for more space on the stairs

Straight stairlifts do not need to be made loud either you can get them with very quite motors therefore allowing for you to use the lift at any point and not disturb others. Most straight stairlifts also come with battery packs added into them as well as being plugged into the mains allowing for you to carry on using your straight stairlifts even when a power cut occurs.

Also when you get straight stairlifts installed you may want to request an extra remote control if others in the house or building are going to be using it aswell. If you have a second control you will be able to bring the chair from upstairs to downstairs easily if it has been left up there leaving you downstairs. This can happen a lot if others are using the stairlifts aswell.

Most straight stairlifts come fitted with sensors that can tell when someone or something may be in the way. If there is an object in the way then the chair will sense this and stop going into the object allowing for safe stair climbing at all times.

Straight stairlifts can be fitted quite quickly as well compared to other types of stairlifts. They should be able to be fitted within a matter of hours but this can vary depending on what your stair set is like. If you have a difficult staircase then it can take longer than a few hours to install but this is the general time.

Straight stairlifts also have a docking bay usually where they will automatically recharge, saving you from forgetting or not being able to charge the chair.

I hope this has helped your knowledge on stairlifts grow and I hope that it helps if you are about to purchase one.
