How often will I need to replace batteries?

Batteries should last you between 3-5 years depending on usage.

How long does it take to get a stairlift?

Motobility stocks straight stairlifts, which means we can install your stairlift as soon as we can book it in with our installation team, usually within a few business days. Because the rails for the curved stairlifts are made especially to your stairs in the UK, these can take up to 30days from when the final plans have been signed off.

Are there any second-hand options?

If you are trying to save a little bit of cash, it’s best to enquire with your Mobility consultant regarding second-hand or reconditions chairlifts and their current availability. If you require a straight stairlift, you may get lucky and find a secondhand rail, carriage and chair. Our curved stairlifts are all made to order. Hence the rail will need to be custom-made to suit your stairs. However, you may be able to use a reconditioned carriage and chair, depending on availability.

Will a measure and quote commit me to purchase?

Absolutely not. Motobility will come to your home, assess your stairs, talk to you about your needs and wants and discuss the best options for you and your home. Once all the required information has been specified and all your questions and concerns addressed, our trained consultant will leave you with a written quote. You won’t be under any obligation to go ahead with the purchase just because you received a written quote.

Why do I need a custom-fitted sports mouthguard?

A custom-fitted sports mouthguard provides the best possible protection for your teeth, gums and jaw while playing contact sports. While more expensive than over-the-counter types, the cost of treating a dental injury far outweighs the cost of a custom-fitted mouthguard.

How often do I need to charge my chairlift?

You would not the curved rail is designed, so the stairlift is continuously charging. Curved stairlifts have charge points at the top and bottom of the stairs and can also have additional charge points on landings or other convenient locations. While the stairlift is parked, it is charging. If it isn’t on a charging point, it will emit a beeping sound to let you know that it needs to be moved to a charging location.

What if someone uses the lift and takes it downstairs, will I be stuck at the top?

Every stairlift comes with “call buttons” like air conditioning remotes they sit in small brackets, which are mounted to the wall at the top and bottom of the stairs, allowing you to “call” or “send” the stairlift up or down the stairs. We recommend keeping the call buttons in their brackets to avoid misplacing them or taking them with you up/down the stairs.

Will other people still be able to use the stairs

Oto stairlifts and Stannah Lifts are both compact and designed to fold up when not in use, allowing for additional room for other stair users. The rail itself is slim and designed to fit snuggly against the wall or balustrade, allowing for ample room.

Will my home get damaged?

No, all stairlifts supplied by Motobility (Stannah & Oto) are attached to the stairs, not the walls. This means no structural damage to your home, just a few screws in the treads of your stairs.

How long does the installation take?

Depending on the style of stairlift and size of your staircase, the installation usually takes between 2 and 6 hours.

What is the best stairlift available in Australia?

Motobility prides itself in only providing products that have been well designed and manufactured by reputable suppliers to the highest of quality standards. Both Stannah Stairlifts and OtoLifts have a long-running history of excellence, and we feel confident about providing you with the solution that is best for you. Because everyone's need is different and all staircases are unique, it is hard to say what the best stairlift is in Australia as we believe it is about finding the best possible solution for you while choosing from the best products currently available.

What happens during a power outage?

Each stair-lift is fitted with batteries, which are continuously being charged while the stairlift is at it’s “charging points” these are usually located at the top and bottom of your stairs, but can also be located in turns or areas, where the chair causes the least amount of disruption to the stairs. During a power outage, the battery will continue to power the chair for 6-8 return journeys, depending on the length of your stairs and the condition of the batteries.

Will the stairlift be noisy?

Stairlifts have a battery-powered motor; this means they are near to silent. They emit a mechanical noise as they move, but it wouldn’t be loud enough to disrupt any other occupants. The chairlifts don’t beep unless there is a fault or they haven’t been returned to their charging points.

Will a chairlift fit into narrow hallways?

Both Stannah and Oto lifts offer solutions for narrow stairs. So far we haven’t come across a staircase that we couldn’t fit.

Can stairlifts go around bends, landings and corners?

Yes, both Stannah Stairlifts and OtoLifts offer bespoke curved rail options. Include one rail and two rail solutions. These are custom-made to suit your stairs for a snug fit and additional room on the stairs for other users.

How safe are Stairlifts?

Both Oto Lifts and Stannah only produce products that comply with the latest European and British quality standards. They are tested rigorously and continuously to ensure a safe product. Motobility employs a team of qualified and trained technicians that will ensure your chairlift has been installed in a manner that complies with the manufacturer's guidelines.

Will I need to modify my mobility device to use a vehicle hoist?

Dependent on the style of hoist you are looking at and the type of product you are wanting to lift, you may need to make minor modifications to your mobility device. If the hoist system you are looking at uses a spreader bar, you will need to add some lifting brackets to your mobility scooter, electric wheelchair or powerchair. These brackets are all different, they either attach under a seat, on the frame or on a Seatpost allowing you to easily attach the spreader bar and lift the product into your car. The LM hoist is an exception to the rule, as it comes with a lifting strap. Small folding mobility scooters, such as the Solax Transformer or Luggie Elite, can easily be lifted into the car, without having to add any lifting brackets.

How does a stairlift swivel?

Depending on the brand and model of stairlift you have decided on, you will find either a manual Swivel or a powered swivel.

Can a Carer drive an Electric Wheelchair?

YES! There are many different options for a carer or attendant to take control of an electric wheelchair. 1. Use the joystick instead of the user. While this can be a bit tricky, there is no reason why a carer or attendant can't take control of the users joystick, (if the user permits this) and maneuver the electric wheelchair through tricky situations 2. Use an attendant controller. If the Electric Wheelchair usually needs to be controlled by an attendant, we can easily fit an attendant controller to the back of the chair to make it easier to maneuver for the carer. 3. Put the chair in manual mode. Simply unlock the castors at the back and manually push the chair. Keep in mind, this also switches of the breaks, so ensure you only do this on level ground and gentle inclines.

What is the difference between a regular cane and a quad cane?

A regular cane and a quad cane serve the same primary purpose of providing support and stability for individuals with mobility challenges, but they differ significantly in design and functionality. A regular cane is typically a single, straight shaft with a handle at the top and a rubber tip at the bottom to prevent slipping. These canes, are also available as folding canes, making it even easier to take them with you wherever you go. It offers basic support and is lightweight, making it easy to use and carry. Regular canes are suitable for individuals who need minimal assistance with balance or walking due to minor mobility issues or temporary injuries. In contrast, a quad cane features a base with four small legs or feet, providing a larger surface area for stability. This design makes quad canes more stable and less likely to tip over compared to regular canes. The enhanced stability of a quad cane is particularly beneficial for individuals with significant balance issues, muscle weakness, or those recovering from a stroke or surgery. Quad canes are generally heavier than regular canes, but the added weight contributes to their sturdiness. Additionally, the wider base allows for a more even distribution of weight, reducing the strain on the user's hand and wrist. The choice between a regular cane and a quad cane depends on the user's specific needs and level of mobility assistance required.

To use mobility scooters safely, you should be able to sit upright without support and to operate the controls.

Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs and powerchairs could be a better option than a scooter for indoor use, as they can offer superior comfort and manoeuvrability. Like scooters, wheelchairs come in a range of sizes and options, including:

Manual wheelchairs that are cheaper, but require upper body strength
Electric wheelchairs or portable powerchairs with rechargeable batteries
Folding electric wheelchairs with plane-safe lithium batteries for ease of transport

Deciding whether a wheelchair or scooter is the best choice for you will depend on your personal mobility issues and how you're planning to use it. If you're undecided, taking both for a test drive should help you to make up your mind.

Stairlifts & Wheelchair Lifts

Mobility lifts remove the obstacle of stairs and steps so you can enjoy full use of your home and other areas. Options include:

Stair lifts for individuals
Wheelchair lifts
Platform lifts

These versatile solutions can be installed indoors or outdoors and may be straight or curved as required. Depending on the system, installation may be completed in just a few hours.

Hoists

Hoists take care of the heavy lifting when loading your mobility scooter or wheelchair in or out of your vehicle. They can save your back and knees while also giving you complete independence, as you won't have to rely on anyone's help. Options include:

Portable hoists
Automated hoists
Self-loading ramp systems

Hoists can lift up to 200kg. Check their lifting capacity to make sure they're suitable for your mobility equipment.
