Powered by Max Banner Ads
If you have Problems with mobility and let's be honest! If you own a Stairlift good possibility you are not the speediest thing on two legs. Stair lifts will glide you up and down stairs with little effort at all but a serious concern with Chairlifts is the mounting and dismounting from the Stairlift chair.
All modern Stairlifts include a Seat Swivel option. Manual seat swivel or Powered seat swivel. The manual seat swivel needs the user to have some amount of strength in their lower legs to allow them to push shuffle the chair seat round into the swivel position.
Not an ideal situation for someone with limited mobility. The powered seat swivel chair is motorized and once the Stair lift arrives at the very top of the stairs the seat will instantly swivel round into the proper position for easy dismount.
The great thing about the seat swivel option is that the Stair-lift chair once in the swivel position now acts as a safeguard barrier and it is virtually impossible to fall down the steep staircase. Perfect for people with balance disorders and elderly fragile users who aren't to stable on their feet.
When the Chairlift is in the seat swivel mode the electrical circuits are isolated and the unit will not be able to move function until the chair has been reset into its safe travelling position.
The powered seat swivel option is an extra addition and therefore will cost some extra but is good money spent wisely. If you happen to feel your mobility issues could get worse in time and you might need the powered swivel option in the future ensure the model you buy can be easily adapted to deal with the motorized seat swivel mechanism.
As well as powered seat swivel options there also are powered hinge rails which we'll be discussing in my next article.
