Manufacturer's description
The Minivator 2000 is a curved stairlift: curved stairlifts are also known as Round The Corner or RTC stairlifts. These stairlifts are designed for use on a staircase which turns a corner or is spiral in design. The track is mounted on stanchions which are fixed to the stairs. Every Minivator track is built to order following a survey of the staircase. Our team of designers calculate the optimum track to accommodate the staircase whilst maximising the clear space on the stairs. Slimline design is a concept that extends to the Stairlift itself, the stairlift can be folded up meaning minimum storage space is needed when the stairlift is not in use. The addition of a powered footplate makes folding the unit up even easier for users who may have trouble bending. You can choose to fold the footplate by flicking a switch located under the arm of the stairlift or when folding the seat up and down.
Help and advice
Standing stair lifts may be chosen in preference to seated models if the staircase is exceptionally narrow or if the user has a stiff leg/s and has difficulty bending their knee/s or at the hip when sitting. The user must have the endurance to stand for the time required to travel up/down. The time required will vary depending on the length of the staircase and any bends. Even a short straight flight of stairs will take over a minute. Standing stairlifts usually have one or two guard rails that the user can hold onto during transit.
As with standing stairlifts perching stairlifts usually have one or two guard rails that the user can hold onto during transit.
Standing and perching stairlifts share several of the same optional features as seated stairlifts such as, folding footplates and hinged rails. For more information on stair lift features click here or read about Fred's standing stairlift.
