Stairlift Seating Options

Stairlift Seating Options

Even though a stairlift is only used for short periods of time Minivator offer seating solutions which both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

All our seats are designed to take three times the weight limit of the stairlift, this means that every model will provide stable support when getting into, and often more importantly out of the seat. The operating toggle has also been thoughtfully positioned to leave the top of the armrest free to provide support when getting out of the seat.

The Simplicity 950 offers an upholstered seat back and base and is available in Bute.

The Minivator 1000 and 2000 can be supplied with a SpaceSaver™ or Luxury seat both of which are available in a choice of colours and offer upholstered seat back, base and armrest pads.

The SpaceSaver™ is a slimline seat and is particularly suited for use on narrow staircases and for the taller user as, in both instances, the space available may not accommodate the thicker luxury seat.

The luxury seat has a curved and contoured backrest, its additional padding allows for forming to provide lumber support at the base of the spine.

For those users with limited movement in the knee or hip a Perch seat may be the best seating position. A perch seat provides posterior support to the user who will be almost standing when using the stairlift. Minivator are unique in offering a perch seat on a curved stairlift. The Perch seat can be used with the Minivator 1000 (s3) or 2000 (s4).

If a user has reduced hip and knee movement but is more comfortable in a seated position the fixed short seat is also available on the Minivator 1000 and 2000. This seat provides posterior support to a user in seated position.

Both the Minivator 1000 and 2000 are available with arm spacers which can be used to increase the distance between the arms if required.

A number of Minivator’s Dealers have in store demonstration units so you can try before you buy and decide which seat is most suited to your needs.
