Standing stairlifts or as they are known in the trade! Perch stairlifts permit the user to stand on the stairlift footplate while transported up and down the steps. If you've got a health condition that does not allow you to sit or bend your knee/s then a standing stairlift might be the answer to your mobility Problems.
Perch Stair lifts are also ideal if you've a very narrow staircase! Unlike typical sit down stairlifts there's no overhang from the seat thus standing in the upright position may enable a stairlift to be installed even on extremely narrow staircases.
One major factor is that the user must be able to stand and have a good sense of balance. Standing stairlifts do come with height guards to defend 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 normally mounted onto the grab rail height guard thru a simple Velcro attachment and can easily 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 sustained force is necessary on the direction paddle (Joystick) if the pressure is released for what ever reason the chair lift will stop moving in the desired direction etc.
Standing stairlifts are made to a higher design than the standard sit down models! The footplate is intended to resist the full working weight/load of the user. Using a normal sit down unit as a stand up model is dangerous and will put unrestrained strain on the footplate fixings and could even cause the welds to snap.
Under no circumstances should you use a sit down model for the same use as a standing stairlift. As well as putting yourself in peril you will also be putting additional force on the side rollers causing them to wear degrade quickly.
