Residential Stairlifts: all about Available Models

Residential stairlifts are specific devices designed to improve the living conditions of people with reduced mobility and offer them greater independence by facilitating access to different floors. Discover the details about the 3 stairlift chair models available on the En Mouvement website.

Stannah Straight Stairlift

This Stannah stairlift, which supports up to 350 lb, has been specially designed for straight staircases, and its installation does not require any special structural work as the rails are directly attached to the banister. The unit pivots so that the user can safely sit down or stand up, and its components, namely the armrest, chair, and footrest, can be folded up to clear the path when it is not in use.

Additionally, this stairlift chair is powered by two powerful batteries that recharge automatically and have a multi-day autonomy to remain operational in case of a power outage, for example. Furthermore, the footrest and carriage are equipped with sensors so that the device can stop automatically if there is an obstacle in its path, and an indicator light on the armrest alerts the user to any issues.

Stannah Curved Stairlift

As its name suggests, this device, featuring a particularly elegant design, is dedicated to curved staircases. Its rail, available in your choice of color, can be fixed to the wall or the banister depending on your needs. Additionally, 2 seat options are available:

  • The Siena model: multiple colors, comfortable, easy to maintain, and with a motorized footrest;
  • The Starla model: luxurious finish, multiple colors, and motorized footrest.

Furthermore, this stairlift is equipped with several safety systems to prevent potential accidents, including patented technology that ensures particularly smooth stops. Its installation also complies with the standards imposed by the RBQ.

Atlas Straight Stairlift

Manufactured by an experienced English company, this device is designed for straight staircases and can be installed on either side of the stairs, depending on your preferences and needs. It stands out primarily for its practicality, especially in terms of space management. Indeed, the seat is foldable, and it is even possible to opt for a foldable motorized rail to avoid clutter in a confined space.

This chair also features original safety systems such as soft stop or the device locking when it is in the wrong position. Furthermore, the motorized swivel option allows you to benefit from a seat that automatically turns towards the landing with the press of a single button, so that you can sit down easily.
