Stairlifts are Easy, Safe and a Great Way to Get Upstairs!
Stairlifts are very easy to understand and operate. While there are some differences between makes and models, all of our lifts have simple controls and robust safety features. All stairlifts have a simple switch that controls their movement. The lift travels up or down the stairway when the rider pushes and holds the switch. The chair stops automatically when the stairlift reaches the end of the track. If you release the switch at any point along the way the lift will stop immediately and all lifts are supplied with seatbelts.
Remote Controls: All stairlifts installed by EHLS come with a pair of remote controls that allow a user to call or send the chair from the top or bottom of the stairs. The controls are a convenient way for a caregiver to control the seat's motion if the rider needs assistance. The remote control also allows users to use the lift as a dumbwaiter by placing packages or a clothes basket on the seat and using the remote to send them up or down.
Seat Controls: The chair in the picture is from the popular Bruno Elite stairlift seat. The black switch at the end of the right armrest controls the lift. Rock the switch one way and the seat will travel up the stairs. Rock it the opposite way and the chair will head for the lower landing.
