Sterling Stairlifts: Comfortable, Safe and Convenient
By A. M. Kelly

Sterling Stairlifts is a company that is owned by Minivator Limited, which is a world leader in stairlifts manufacturing, and with thirty years experience in design, manufacture as well as maintenance; it has been selling its lifts in a number of countries around the world. The design as well as manufacture conforms to the highest standards of safety and the company is headquartered in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. Before actually selecting a Sterling stair lift, one should choose it according to the convenience as well as freedom that it will bring to the home and one can expect the greatest degree of comfort as well as safety along with good looks. The rail is slim as well as elegant and fits near to the wall without showing its mechanical parts and the seat is well styled and folds to leave enough passage for others.

Comfort and Freedom of Use

The Sterling Stairlifts can operate even in the event of a power failure and uses a 24 volt DC battery that is charged at the head as well as bottom of the stairs and operates automatically when there is a power outage, for about ten minutes. In addition, the charge points obviate the need for extensive wiring and there are no trailing cables. One can expect Sterling Stairlifts to conform to worldwide safety standards and have a sensitive automatic stop that prevents mishaps from happening in case of any obstruction to the stairway. There is also the Sterling SpaceSaver that provides three inches of extra seat depth which allows the user's knees to bend back, and thus is most suitable for use with narrow stairways as well as for tall users. With the facility of fitting the entire unit closer to the wall, one will have more free space on the stairs as well.

The doorway at the bottom of the stairs will not cause it any problem as one can use its hinge tracks to fold the track out of the way, when it is not being used. The Sterling Stairlifts can also be locked with the help of a key and so allows access to only those that have the key. One will also get a five year warranty on this product that applies to the gearbox as well as motor, and there is a one year warranty on other parts. All said and done, the Sterling Stairlifts are designed keeping in mind that users may often feel less physically confident using them, and so there is a reassuring feature in the form of the lap belt that can easily be clipped together to comfortably secure the rider and nothing is left to chance.
