Stairlifts are seats or platforms that travel along a rail anchored to the staircase. They can be fitted to virtually any staircase, they are safe and easy to use, they do not block other users of the stairs, and they offer a wide range of customisation options.<\/p>

A stairlift carries a person up and down the stairs at the touch of a button \u2014 and can move small items too. In short, it is a motorised seat running on a rail, powered by rechargeable batteries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

A platform stairlift provides greater freedom of movement and removes architectural barriers that often limit wheelchair users, carrying the person \u2014 and the wheelchair \u2014 safely along the staircase.<\/p>

Platform design aims to minimise the space taken up on the staircase. They are ergonomic and functional, with folding models that leave the stairs clear when not in use.
Platform lifts are ergonomic and practical, and there are solutions that can be installed both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We offer straight platform lifts such as the Supra Straight, and curved ones such as the Supra Curve.<\/p>

Straight platform stairlifts are the best option for overcoming architectural barriers on straight flights of stairs, with no turns or changes of gradient.

The car lighting may be switched off or dimmed provided the following conditions are met:<\/p>

For all lifts:
1. Opening the landing door immediately switches the normal lighting back on:
2. If the car starts a journey and stops abnormally outside the unlocking zone of any landing door, the switch-off or dimming system must be disabled and the car must remain permanently lit with its normal lighting until the lift is returned to service.<\/p>

For lifts with power-operated landing doors:
1. The lighting may be switched off or dimmed while the car is parked at a floor with the landing door closed<\/p>

For lifts with manually operated landing doors:
1. Sin mirillas transparentes
The lighting may be switched off or dimmed while the car is parked at a floor with the landing door closed, provided that the presence of the car behind the door is indicated by an illuminated signal that can only come on when the car is about to stop, or has stopped, at that floor. That signal must stay lit for as long as the car remains at that floor.
2. With one or more transparent vision panels.
The lighting may be dimmed while the car is parked at a floor with the landing door closed, provided the level of dimming still makes it possible to tell, before opening the door, whether or not the car is behind it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
