Why Test Ride a Stair Lift?
There is a lot of information on stair lifts that you can gather online, whether it be stair lift informational guides, videos, and pictures. However, nothing compares to being able to see and test ride the lift before deciding that it is the best solution for you.
Taking the time to test-ride a stair lift before purchasing it can make the decision process much easier for you. It’ll provide an opportunity to feel the comfort of the seat, smoothness of the ride, and speed of the lift. It will also enable you to better determine if an upgrade option, such as a power folding rail or footrest, is needed to enhance safety and comfort. A few of the stair lift models in our showroom are equipped with some of those power options so that you can test them out.
Local customers that have visited the Lifeway Mobility Hartford showroom have found it to be extremely helpful because of the comfort and experience that it provides. A visit to a showroom allows for an understanding of the lift’s basic functions and controls, which will make the use of the lift seamless, after it is installed.
We highly recommend you stop by and try one of our stair lifts out if you are just starting your research or are close to making a final decision! Giving a stair lift a test ride can help you confirm whether or not it is the best product for you or your loved one’s needs and situation.
Expert Tip: While it is not required, we do recommend taking a few pictures of your staircase with your smart phone before visiting our showroom. The pictures will allow our stair lift expert to get a better idea of what type of lift you’ll need, and be able to better estimate the cost of the lift that you’ll need. Measurements of the length and width would be great too!
What Types of Stairlifts are in the Lifeway Hartford Showroom?
In our Hartford showroom, you can test ride one, two or all three of our stair lifts on display:
- Bruno Elan Straight Stair Lift – 300 lb. weight capacity
- Bruno Elite Straight Stair Lift – 400 lb. weight capacity
- Bruno Elite Curved Stair Lift – 400 lb. weight capacity
Bruno’s straight stairlift models are built with a narrow vertical rail design, which allows for installation on straight staircases that are 32” or wider. The Bruno curved rail on the other hand has a steel rail design that must be custom built to fit the curves and turns of each individual staircase.
You will have the opportunity to ride a Bruno straight (Elan or Elite) or curved (Elite CRE) stair lift in our local showroom. If your staircase is straight, you’ll be able to compare and contrast the ride and feel of the two different stair lift models.
Upgrade Options for Stair Lifts
The Elan straight and Elite curved models in the showroom are standard, meaning that neither one is equipped with upgrade options.The straight Elite, on the other hand, is equipped with a powered swivel seat and foot rest. This will enable you to get a better feel for how the options work and the benefits they will provide.
Both of those two power options are available on the straight and curved rail Bruno lifts. There are also a few other available options, which are listed below, that can be added to your stair lift.
Our experts can help determine if an option is needed for you or your family member when learning more about your staircase, the lower and upper landing areas, and watching you get on and off the lift in the showroom. Below are the stair lift options that are most commonly added by our customers (when needed):
Manual or Power Folding Rail - Recommended when the rail extends into a hallway that receives a lot of foot traffic to prevent it from becoming a trip hazard. It is also recommended when the lower landing of the staircase is near a doorway.- Power Folding Foot Rest - Allows you to conveniently fold the footrest up or down with a push of a button. A great option if the person in need of the lift has hard time bending
when sitting or standing. - Power Swivel Seat – Perfect option if the person in need of the lift is unable to swivel the seat manually. With the power swivel seat, the seat will swivel away form the stairs automatically with a push of a button (located on armrest).
