Simplicity Straight Stairlifts

 

The Simplicity straight stairlift offers excellent value and gives those who need help in getting up and down stairs, the freedom of greater independence in their home. Whether for short term or long term mobility problems, the Minivator straight stairlift is practical, safe and reliable.

 

Designed with a comfortable, padded seat in a neutral beige colour, with wipe clean flame retardant fabric, the Simplicity straight stairlift can transport passengers weighing up to 22 stone. It features an adjustable seat, 2 remote controls, safety seatbelt, manual swivel seat for easy dismounting and an easy to use toggle which can be controlled by either the left or the right hand. For added security it includes a key switch which prevents it being used when it is not supposed to be.

 

This straight stairlift is battery operated, which means that it work even if power is down. The chair charges wherever it is positioned on the track, meaning that it is always ready to use. It is also very easy to install and no modifications are required or damage to your décor. When not in use, the chair can be folded away to create maximum space on your staircase.

 

The optional extras for the Simplicity straight starlight include a unique slide track to clear hallways and doors, a manual hinged track to clear hallways and doors and a powered footplate.

Simplicity + Straight Stairlift

 

Building on the success of the Simplicity straight stairlift, the Simplicity + straight stairlift offers all of the above functionality with some extras.

 

As standard, the Simplicity + has a fully padded smart seat which comes in six different colour choices (cocoa, ruby, sand, sapphire, slate and jade).

 

It also features a retractable seat belt instead of a safety seatbelt.

 

Additional feature options include:

  • > A powered seat swivel – this provides easy mounting and dismounting at the touch of a button, for customers with poor upper body strength or arm mobility.
  • > A powered footrest riser – this stops the customer having to bend down to manually raise the footplate to clear access for other users. Instead the footplate can be raised by a simple switch on the arm or linked in to the folding seat
  • > A unique slide track to clear hallways and doors - Minivator's Unique slide track means the track will automatically move up the staircase with the lift and clear any obstruction caused by the track in the lower hallway. This is an alternative to the hinge and is a lot less cumbersome, making it a very popular choice for private clients
  • > A manual hinged track to clear hallways and doors.
  • > Perch option – this is useful for clients with poor mobility in their knees who may struggle to bend their legs. This feature may also be employed in very narrow staircases, as it will allow us to install a lift with out clashing issues caused by seated models
