Standing stairlifts or as they are known in the trade! Perch stairlifts allow the user to stand on the stairlift footplate while transported up and down the steps. If you've a medical condition that does not allow you to sit or bend your knee/s then a standing stairlift may be the solution to your mobility issues.
Perch Chairlifts are also ideal if you've a really narrow staircase! Unlike conventional sit down stairlifts there is no overhang from the seat therefore standing in the upright position may enable a stairlift to be installed even on awfully narrow staircases.
One crucial factor is that the user must be in a position to stand and have a good sense of balance. Standing stairlifts do come with height guards to offer protection to the user from falling and the height guard also acts as a grasp bar making the user feel more safer as they travel on the stairlift.
The operating direction buttons (Joystick) is routinely mounted onto the grab rail height guard thru an easy Velcro attachment and can simply be removed so that the user can hold the control unit in one hand and forcefully grip the grab rail with the other hand.
The operation controls are fail safe design! A relentless force is necessary on the direction paddle (Joystick) if the pressure is released for what ever reason the stair lift will stop moving in the specified direction etc.
Standing stairlifts are built to a higher design than the standard sit down models! The footplate is intended to resist the full working weight/load of the user. Employing a normal sit down unit as a stand up model is perilous and will put unrestrained stress on the footplate fixings and could even cause the welds to snap.
In no case should you utilize a sit down model for the same use as a standing stairlift. As well as putting yourself in danger you will also be putting additional force on the side rollers leading them to wear degrade quickly.
