Handicare 1000

Perch
If you have restricted
movement in the knee
or hip joint you may find
sitting painful. In these
situations a perch seat
may be the solution.
Perch seats are available on the Handicare
1000 and 1000 XL.
Powered footrest
The footrest and seat can be folded up to increase
available space leaving the staircase as clear
as possible for other users.
If you choose the
powered footrest
option (available on the
Simplicity
+
and all 1000
models) it will remove
the need for you to bend
down to fold or unfold
the footrest.
Do you need a hinged track?
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 hall floor. Some houses will have
a doorway close to the bottom of the stairs and the
track may intrude across this. In these circumstances
a hinged track should be fitted. This means that the
track can be folded away from the doorway giving clear
access.
The Simplicity, Simplicity
+
and 1000 are available with
a manual hinged track. The 1000 is also available with
an automatic hinged track. When operating the stairlift
from the toggle, the hinge will lift/lower automatically.
The Slide Track
The Slide Track is a ground
breaking solution for use with a
Simplicity or Simplicity
+
straight
stairlift. This unique solution
removes the need for a hinge.
Instead the track moves up the
staircase at the same time as
the seat is moving, leaving the
doorway at the base of your
stairs unobstructed.
Powered swivel
When you arrive at the top of the
stairs you can swivel your seat
around so that you exit onto the
landing safely. If you choose the
powered swivel option (available on
the Simplicity
+
, 1000 and 1000 XL
only) the swivel is operated by
continuing to hold the toggle
when you arrive at the top of the
staircase. The seat will move
automatically.
