Choosing Stairlift Accessories

A Few Stairlift Extras Provide Ease of Use

As if selecting the perfect stair lift is not enough of a challange, you will also find a variety of stairlift accessories available.

The primary purpose of stairlift accessories added safety and comfort and not nesessarily imporvement in  design. Stairlifts may be already costly as they are, but it may be a good idea to purchase accessories to ensure the well being of your loved ones.

Frame type Sit And Stand – If the stairlift product that’s to be installed at your house would be used by more than one person, perhaps it’s better to purchase a sit and stand frame for your stairlifts, especially when neither have the same health problems. With this type of frame for your stairlifts, the user or passenger may be able to either sit or stand while be carried up and down the stairs.

Seatbelt – Yes, just like when you’re riding a roller coaster or your everyday vehicle, it’s always advisable to wear a seatbelt…just in case.

You can choose between a seatbelt that would be wrapped around your lap – the manufacturers describe it as an inertia reel lap harness – or one that would strap both your shoulders.  This type is referred to as static type, 3 point fixied over shoulder harness.

Either way, as long as you have a seatbelt for your stairlift, the chances of injury are greatly reduced.

Hinged Rail – In a small or compact sized home where there’s little space available, stairlifts with hinged rails are ideal.  It allows you to fold the lower part of the rail when it’s not in use. This is also ideal if your stairway is right next to the doorway and the lower part of the rail serves as an obstruction.

Power Folding Footrest – Let’s just say that you have a mighty big home and even though you could afford it, you still prefer to install a stairlift instead of an elevator, even though there’s about twenty feet worth of stairs to climb up and down.

Wouldn’t it be nice for the passenger to have a footrest while they’re traveling up and down? A footrest for stairlifts can also be handy for users or passengers who have problems bending down.

Power Swivel Seat – This is for ease of getting into and out of the seat of your stairlift. 

Yes, of course you can get by without any of these accessories and many do.  On the other hand, a few of these can make life much more comfortable for any stairlift user.
