Stairlift Reviews

For a person that is immobilized going to another level of the house can be a difficult challenge. However having a wheel chair lift can be a great mobility help. It can provide convenience and relief to the members and to the user. Today with the high end technology there are many designs of wheelchair stair lifts you can choose. Below are some common designs and basic features are described.

The brand Superglide lift is powered in a direct way by an electrical outlet. It also comes with another source for power that constantly recharges. The operation by the Superglide is very quiet and it is guaranteed safe for every passenger. It has no jarring movement and it has a working mechanical brake movement with a good lock on its wheels. The chair is able to rotate and even twist to make the passenger more comfortable and secure. For extra security it comes with a belt for safety. Some of the other designs of this brand can carry up to two hundred ninety four pounds some even exceeds three hundred pounds.

The unit comes with a platform for the feet. There is a remote so it can be controlled in another distance. This also gives the passenger more ways to direct the lift. It can also be maneuvered through a joystick. The passenger may also choose to sit down or stand up with this lift.

The Straight wheel chair lift has two power sources to ensure a smooth operation even when there is a blackout. This lift is narrower and it can fit even the narrowest staircase. This can be a good choice when there is not enough space for two people. In most situations the passenger is usually a patient with a caregiver. Another space to consider is the space for getting off and getting on the lift. The track is connected to the steps instead of it being attached to the wall so it will fit stronger. It is also more attractive to look at. This model can lift up to three hundred fifty pounds.

Another model for a wheelchair stair lift is the Butler lift. This model features a calling button on the footrest which the passenger can push to call when she wants to ask for help immediately. Another emergency button is connected for shutting it off when the passenger is already safe. This unit can be a space saver since it can be folded up to fourteen inches.

These are just some basic brands of wheelchair stair lifts commonly found in most markets. Make sure to tell the features you need the most to the company you want to purchase a wheelchair lift from. The safety features should always be present.
