Stairlifts - Sterling - Questions YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED POWER FAILURES Do Sterling Stairlifts still work in a power failure? Yes. The Sterling Stairlift uses a 24v DC battery which is charged at both the top and the bottom of the stairs. The Sterling Stairlift will continue to operate in a power failure for approximately 10* rides. Having charge points rather than a trailing cable reduces wear and avoids the need for extensive wiring. *Up and down = I ride, dependant on user weight and length of stairs DOORWAY ACCESS Can Sterling Stairlifts work with doorways that are close to the bottom of the stairs? Yes. The Sterling Stairlift rail can be hinged to avoid causing an obstruction. This can be either powered or manual. The manual version is balanced to allow easy lifting. Note: on curved stairs the hinged rail is only available in the powered version. SAFETY Do Sterling Stairlifts comply with current Safety Standards? Yes. Sterling Stairlifts have ISO 9386 Part 2 and achieve all other worldwide safety standards. They also feature a sensitive automatic stop should anything or anyone obstruct the stairway. SITTING DIFFICULTIES Does the Sterling Stairlift have any options for those who have difficulty in sitting and then standing up? Yes. Sterling Stairlifts have a specially designed perch seat for users with low knee flexion or those that may prefer to ride in a more vertical position. LIMITED SPACE Even though Sterling Stairlifts are among the slimmest on the market, do they have any other options to save space? Yes. Sterling Stairlifts have a SpaceSaverTM seat that reduces significantly the space taken up by the seat into the stairway. It provides a wall-to-back measurement of just 3'/4" (80mm) allowing a stairlift to work in very tight situations with as little as 27" (687mm) clear width. LOCKING Can I lock the stairlift to avoid misuse from others? Yes. The Sterling Stairlift has an on/off key that puts you in control of who uses the lift. It can be inserted while the arm is in the upright position which makes it easier for those with limited dexterity. When the arm is down in position the key is out of the way and can't be knocked. FEELING SECURE Do Sterling Stairlifts have any other features for additional security? Yes. When we designed Sterling Stairlifts we took into account how it feels to be less physically confident and so we built in reassuring features like the lap belt. Easy to use, just push the clips together, to comfortably secure the rider.
