Stairlifts Are Easy to Use

Stairlifts are Easy, Safe and a Great Way to Get Upstairs!

Stair Lift With Rider in BarringtonStairlifts 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 for Stairlifts in IllinoisRemote 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 Moves Stairlift Up & Down StairsSeat 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.

Stairlift Seat Swivels Away from Stairs

Swivel Away from the Top of the Stairs: The rider in this picture is demonstrating how a stairlift seat swivels at the top. As the picture shows, the seat swivels away from the stairs while the footrest remains in place. The swiveling action places the rider's feet safely on the top landing allowing the rider to stand safely.
