Dimensions measured from the wall are nominal – the addition of a wide baseboard or similar obstruction may affect the dimensions taken from this point. The dimensions are accurate, but you should add 1″ clearance for the user.

- Weight limit: 300lbs.
- Minimum stair width: about 29″. (The stairlift takes up less, but you need room for the users’ knees)
- Distance between armrests: 21.2″ at the front, 19.5″ at the back
- Depth of seat cushion: 15″
- Minimum seat height from floor: 22½”
- Maximum seat height from floor: 27″
- Space needed at the bottom of the stairs: about 27″ in front of first step (but chair can be folded and sent up the stairs when not in use)
- Folded width from wall: 15½”
- Rail protrusion at bottom landing: min. 12″ but the rail may be turned to park the chair away from the stairs, which reduces the rail protrusion to about 7½”
- Rail protrusion at top landing: typically none, unless a rail over-run onto the top landing is chosen.
- Width of rail: 1¾”
- Distance of rail from baseboard: typically between 6″ and 7½”; varies with the shape of the stairs and the design of the rail
- Speed: about 18’/minute (so about 50 seconds to ride up a typical staircase)
- Remotes: two, one for each landing, infra-red wireless (like a TV remote with two buttons)
- Battery life – stairlift: typically 3-5 years
- Battery life – remotes: typically 1-2 years depending on use. 3 ‘AA’ batteries per remote
- Service interval: annual service is recommended by Stannah and by American Society of Mechanical Engineers code
- User maintenance required: none, but a wipe down with a damp cloth is OK for cleaning
- Standard safety devices:
- Seat belt: retractable seat-belt
- Over-speed governor: required in public buildings, so we fit one to all our stairlifts
- Safety sensors: on the footrest and both sides of chair, to stop the stairlift if it touches an obstruction
- Key lock: located on the carriage, below the seat
- Available options:
- Powered swivel seat option- allows the user to swivel the seat while standing away from the top of the stairs
