So you have to buy a stairlift, but you have a hallway or walkway at the foot of the stairs. What are your options? Meditek stairlift with foldable hinge rail Well, the slick salesperson for the manufacturer who sells his only product says, Do not worry, you can just walk around the rail or the track that crosses the passage. Just send him politely, he does not have the product you need. You just know that there must be a better and safer solution. It is time for you to meet an independent, independent distributor of chairlifts, as we at Florida Stairlifts Inc .. Well, there is a safe, reliable and correct solution for the handrail or rail that blocks the walkway, the folding hinged rail or rail. Meditek stair lift automatic folding hinged stairlift It comes in two main versions, manual or automatic and different user weight capacities varying from 264lbs to 350lbs. Manual Stairlift Foldable hinge rail from Stair lifts Birmingham : The manual version is the least expensive option, ranging in price from $ 300 to $ 800. The main limitation of the manually collapsible hinge is that a person must physically bend downwards and raise the hinged part of the track as soon as the chair lift is away from the top of the stairs. As soon as you walk up the stairs on the stairlift, how can you fold the lane so that it no longer becomes a tripping hazard for other people in the house? Answer: You can not do it, the path remains a big and unacceptable stumbling hazard Another point of concern with the manually collapsible hinged track is the lack of stiffness and stability of the lower or moving rail portion when the stair lift runs to the bottom of the rail. Some of the available cheap stairlifts are positively thin because the manufacturer has removed as much metal as possible from the track to save material costs. These limitations make the manual version of the folding hinge rail rather unattractive to me as a solution for an electric stairlift. Automatically or electrically hinged hinge pad: This is almost certainly the right solution for most people. Option prices range from $ 600 to $ 1200, but offer a fully automatic solution. Capacity of the user weight varies from 264lbs to above 350lbs. The operation of this function is simple. Just start the stairlift down the stairs and the collapsible part of the track / rail starts to close, driven by its own electric motor. The track / rail is completely empty before the stairlift runs smoothly over it. As soon as the lift has reached the lowest level, the driver can get off and use the remote control to raise the chairlift. As the stairlift passes the connection in the foldable hinged lane, the track will automatically rise and keep the corridor or walkway clear. Some manufacturers of electric stairlifts have rightly decided that the manually foldable hinge rail is not a viable solution and for safety reasons it will only offer a fully automatic version. View below the video link of the automatic folding hinged stairlift. Other important considerations: A folding hinged rail of any type should never be used to solve the blocking of an exit door that would be impeded by the installation of a chair lift stage. All emergency exits and normal exit devices must be maintained with the stairlift in any position for obvious safety reasons.
