The stair lift broadly consists of three components:

1.    The Rail: An extruded and anodised track that is fitted with a rack, and affixed to the staircase. The carriage assembly rides along it.
2.    The Carriage: This houses a direct current powered gear motor as well as the pinion and associated electronic controls, electrical or mechanical safety equipment and a battery pack. The carriage comprises a folding footrest that comes attached.
3.    The Seat: This is an upholstered, folding swivel seat assembly, which carries the user in comfort. It is complete with a handy folding seat cushion as well as armrests. One of these will house the diagnostic status lights and mechanical controls.

If you are looking for a reputable company for your mobility devices, you can easily get quality products at a very competitive price. A stair lift is one such mobility product that can come with many enhanced features of great benefit to the user.

The stair lift will continue to operate even if the main electricity supply is interrupted. It helps if no mains voltage is supplied to any of the operating parts of the stair lift. This will mean that there are no bothersome, trailing mains cables, as is the case with an AC powered lift.
