Is an on-site appointment before installation of a stairlift at all necessary? This question was asked to us especially, in the Corona pandemic more frequently asked. What options are available during the pandemic, we tell you in this article!

In the age of digitalization, more and more processes are being digitalized and outsourced. Of course, today there is the possibility via WhatsApp or other messenger services to quickly take a few photos or videos of your staircase. make.

Although this gives us the opportunity to get an idea of the current living situation in advance, it is usually not enough to design the right solution for your current living situation.

We want to be honest with you, you only buy a stairlift once and for that reason we should carefully consider the options for an on-site appointment.

This gives you, the user, two options:

Possibility 1:

The stairlift is installed so that it technically goes up or down the stairs. If possible with as few curves as necessary, because then it is cheaper.

But what happens if others still have to go up and down the stairs and the chair is in the way at the start or end position, massively interfering with normal stair use?

What happens if you have chosen a chair that has a manual swivel seat at the end of the last step and only after it is installed do you realize that you can't turn the chair on your own, or you don't even dare sit in it because you feel like you are sitting in the open staircase.

Or the chair or the roadway was planned so that when the chair is at the starting position, the entrance door is blocked?

Sonilift Notice:  

Few people know that any malfunctions on a stairlift usually take place at the start or end position.

And it is precisely for this reason that it is particularly important to keep the entrance area clear.

We know that there are many points to consider when purchasing a suitable stairlift. And this is where we come into play for you as a competent partner of Sonilift.

Based on many years of experience, we can accurately assess which stairlift is best for you and, for example, their fine motor skills.

Far too often, customers have told us that they were unable to use their lift independently because the controls were not usable for them.

Possibility 2:

Our trained Sonilift consultant will make a free on-site needs analysis and discuss the implementation of your stairlift with you and, if possible, with your relatives.

If no on-site appointment can be realized, we would of course like to offer you an alternative.

In order to make sure that we can examine all possibilities in your sense, we need from you Photos of the start position as well as the end position, and of the course of the staircase. This way we can get an overview of the complete staircase.

Please be sure to let us know your preferences or certain restrictions that Sonilift should be aware of.

 

Furthermore, we need a few dimensions: the clear dimension (e.g. I have a handrail on both sides, then the dimension between the two handrails is the clear dimension what is needed).

If a handrail can be removed, the dimension from the handrail to the wall counts. Here it is useful to make a small sketch, this can also be photographed afterwards.

To clarify the course of the stairs, here is a short video for planning is very helpful.

You are welcome to send us the video conveniently via Whatsapp - you can find the number on our website.

Please be sure to write their contact information such as name, address and your phone number. This is the best way for us to reach them.

However, we would like to explicitly mention that this process is only suitable as an alternative substitute and only for pre-planning and cannot replace or substitute an on-site consultation.
