Powered hinged rail

In order for the seat to get low enough for the user to sit on, it is necessary for the track to extend beyond the staircase to the lower floor level. Or in some cases, there may be a doorway close to the bottom of the stairs and the track may intrude across this. In these circumstances a hinged track should be installed. This means that the track can be folded away from the doorway giving clear access.

Curved stairlifts can be supplied with a powered hinged track that extends when you go downstairs, and folds up when you go upstairs or want to park the lift out of the way, allowing clear access on the lower level.

The track can be designed to take you from the ground floor directly onto the landing level, to meet your needs exactly and offers an automatic hinge solution to prevent the track obscuring a doorway at the base of the stairs.

It’s twin tube construction delivers strength and stability whilst enabling tight bends, in fact this system offers the tightest bend that is available from any stairlift manufacturer making it an ideal choice for compact stairs and hallways.

This double rail system, designed for a stable and smooth ride, is supplied in light grey, brown or gun metal as standard and is delivered in industry leading manufacturing times.

Handicare also accommodate special orders so the track can be finished in any colour to suit your décor.

This twin rail system can be supplied with a choice of three seats: the Style, the Smart and the Simplicity.
