What is a stair
lift and how does it work?
A stair lift is a motorized
chair on a track that is secured to your staircase with a few
sturdy screws. With a ThyssenKrupp Access stair lift, there are
no structural changes made to your home and the stairlift glides
along stairs without marring walls. With a push of a button, you
are gently and securely carried over stairs. When not in use,
the stairlift folds compactly against the wall. At Access, your
comfort and safety are our top priority. That's why all of our
stairlifts include a seat that swivels away from the stair,
providing a safe and comfortable way to get on and off the lift.
Our stairlifts are designed to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride
that will let you confidently maintain your lifestyle and freely
enjoy your whole house.
How much space
does a stairlift use?
When not in use, the seat and
footrest of the stair lift can be folded up, maximizing space on
the stairway for others. The stairlift typically takes up about
14" when folded. When in use, the stairlift typically opens to
about 25".
Will the stair
lift work for someone who also uses a wheelchair?
Access stair lifts can be
useful even for someone who has limited mobility. Convenience
features built into some models include folding arms that push
up and out of the way, adjustable seat heights, and soft, padded
seats.
How will the
stairlift look in my house?
Access offers the widest
variety of colors and fabrics to choose from - so you're sure to
find a look that blends with your décor. Upholstery options
include easy-care vinyl and plush fabrics. Or, on select
stairlift models, you may choose to send in some of your own
fabric for a truly customized look that will perfectly match
your current furnishings.
What about stair
lift safety features?
All of ThyssenKrupp Access'
stairlifts are engineered with multiple safety features for your
peace of mind. Our multi-point safety system includes sensors
that stop the stair lift if something blocks its path, a
seatbelt for added security, and brakes that will stop the stair
lift should something go wrong with the drive system. The swivel
seats ensure an easier, safer transition from sitting to
standing positions. And, the swivel seat locks your seat in
place when it's swiveled away from the landing and ensure the
seat swivels only at a landing and not during the ride. Add
mechanisms that prevent the stairlift from traveling beyond the
track, and you'll see a commitment to quality that ensures
nothing will prevent a smooth ride. Even the controls are
designed with your comfort in mind. Constant pressure controls
make sure the stair lift will stop if you release your finger
from the controls.
Is the stairlift
easy to care for?
Yes! ThyssenKrupp Access
stair lifts are easy to maintain and designed to last for years.
In fact, we back each stair liftwith the best guarantee in the
business - a full five-year drive train and two-year parts
warranty. That's years longer than the industry average! It says
something about our commitment to quality and your peace of
mind. We recommend a preventive maintenance check every six
months by your local stair lift dealer. |
