Common Questions About Stairlifts
No — our stairlifts are actually battery powered. That means you can keep using the stairlift during a power outage from a storm or any other cause. Our stairlifts only require electricity to charge the batteries, and a standard 120V wall outlet is all that's necessary. The batteries recharge automatically when power is restored, so you will never be stranded on the stairs during an emergency.
Our stairlifts mount directly to the treads of your stairs. There are absolutely no modifications or construction required to facilitate the installation. All we need is a standard wall outlet near the staircase.
Our stairlifts feature the tightest installations available, leaving ample room for all foot traffic on the stairs.
Depending on the model and type, our stairlifts accommodate a minimum of 250 lbs, and can be modified to handle up to a 400 lb capacity.
Safeguard stairlifts are built with families in mind. Every unit includes a seat belt, a key switch that prevents the lift from being operated without your approval, and a seat and footrest that fold up out of the way when not in use. We also walk your whole household through safe operation when we finish the installation.
Stairlift pricing depends on your staircase configuration — straight staircases are more affordable than curved installations. Contact Safeguard Stairlifts for a free in-home estimate with our digital measurement system. We serve all of Utah, Southern Idaho, and Southwest Wyoming.
Not at all. Our stairlifts require minimal maintenance as the years go by, and the only outright repair eventually required is battery replacement, at four- to five-year intervals.
Stairlifts require minimal maintenance. We provide 365-day client support and can schedule service visits to keep your stairlift running smoothly. Our service includes lubricating the track, checking the battery, testing safety features, and inspecting all mechanical components.
Most straight stairlift installations are completed in a single visit, typically within 2-4 hours. Curved stairlifts may require a custom rail, which is precision-manufactured based on our digital measurements of your staircase.
Our stairlifts can be dismantled and uninstalled very easily, leaving virtually no trace once removed.
We feature Handicare brand stairlifts, one of the largest manufacturers in the world, which are known for reliability, durability and value.
