Easy & Safe

Safety as standard:

All London stairlifts have safety sensors on the power pack and footplate; these are designed to stop the lift if it meets any obstruction. Once stopped it can only be moved in the opposite direction to the obstruction. All London stairlifts have a diagnostic display so that you can monitor the status of your stairlift, e.g. a safety edge has been activated.

Your stairlift will also come with a seat belt as standard for additional peace of mind. Our easy release retractable seat belt gives the added flexibility of allowing you to fasten it to one side or centrally, whichever is easier for you or other users.

 

 

Easy to use

All stairlifts are operated by pressing or holding the large, robust toggle switch in the direction of travel.Located at the end of the seat arm it can be easily operated by the hand or arm and leaves the arm rest clear to provide unhindered support when getting on or off the seat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parking and calling your stairlift

All London stairlifts come with two remote controls as standard, so you can have one upstairs and one downstairs. This means you can send your stairlift up and down the track without having to sit on it. This not only allows you to park at the top or bottom of the stairs, it is ideal for multi-user situations as your stairlift can be called between levels, just like an elevator.

 

 

 

 

 

Swivelling your Stairlift Seat

When you arrive at the top of the stairs you will need to swivel your seat round so that you exit onto the landing safely.

Manual Swivel

If you have a manual swivel you will find a handle at either side of the seat. By pressing either handle down, or pulling it up*, you can swivel the seat around to face the landing, where it will lock in place, allowing you to dismount safely.
* The Simplicity swivel operates by pressing down only.

Powered Swivel

If you choose the powered swivel option the swivel is operated by continuing to hold the toggle when you arrive at the top of the staircase. The seat will move automatically while the toggle is activated. Our powered swivels have a manual override for emergency release to improve stairway access if required.

Folding your footplate

The footplate and seat can be folded up to increase available space leaving the staircase as clear as possible for other users.

Manual footplate

Lifted and lowered by hand, manual footplates are fitted with an easy fold mechanism that minimises the strength required to fold the footplate up or down.

Powered Footplate

If you choose the powered footplate option it will remove the need for you to bend down to fold or unfold the footplate. You can choose to have a footplate that folds automatically when the seat is folded and unfolded, or that is operated separately to the seat by a switch in the seat arm so you can raise and lower the footplate whilst seated.
