Straight Stairlifts Summary

 

Stairlifts are an excellent way to assist those who struggle with staircases or who need a home remedy to their mobility needs. Straight stairlifts are a straightforward solution for more accessible home life. Most stairlift brands have three types of stairlifts currently available on the market. For example, Acorn Stairlifts has an outdoor stairlift for easier access to difficult drives and steep steps outside, curved stairlifts made to fit unique staircases, and straight stairlifts.  

Straight stairlifts are the ultimate solution to conquering challenging stairs. As you age, there may be a shift in your mobility. Thankfully with cutting-edge stairlifts like the Acorn 130 Straight Stairlift, you'll be able to rediscover your independence. The lifts are equipped with valuable features to minimize the chances of being injured while traveling on your staircase. Worry less about your stability on stairs and spend more time loving your home.  

There are many modern-day safety features included on straight stairlifts. The basics include seatbelts, folding footrests, and backup batteries. After lifts go through rigorous testing at the manufacture, they are tested during and after installation. Once you are comfortable enough to use your straight stairlift, you can trust your ability to stay safe while doing so. There typically is a diagnostic display attached to your lift that can alert you if anything is out of the ordinary. If your lift comes to obstruction while in use, it will stop moving until the block is cleared. Additionally, many straight stairlifts are equipped with remote controls, so you're able to call your stairlift even if you are located on the opposite end of the stairs.   

Installation for straight stairlifts can be reasonably straightforward. The lift includes a simple linear rail, length depending on the height of your staircase, and the carriage. Having a straight stairlift installed can take just a few hours. Engineers will typically come in before installation to survey your staircase to make the process that much smoother. There is no need to worry about lasting damage to your home as the rail is attached to the stairs and not the wall.  

There are some pretty incredible extras when it comes to using your straight stairlift on a daily. The annual energy cost of a straight stairlift is relatively low. For the most part, your stairlift will run off of battery power, the battery does need to charge at all times, but it only uses about as much electricity as a small tv on standby. A straight stairlift is also an ideal addition for those living with loved ones in their home. The straight stairlift folds up easily and conveniently. The sublime fit makes it easy to use the stairs while the lift is not in use.
