,Handicare,handicare,0,4 ,,1,brooks_stairlifts.jpg,images/stories/virtuemart/manufacturer/brooks_stairlifts.jpg,,,In 1972, Mr Frederick Brooks designed his first stairlift for his wife Grace when she started to find the stairs too difficult due to her rheumatoid arthritis.
Over the years, Brooks Stairlifts have worked closely with homecare professionals to turn ideas into reality and provide thousands of people with a reliable stairlift. Brooks have brought safety and independence on the stairs to thousands, through their innovation, commitment and inspiration.
Brooks stairlifts are a reliable, safe and comfortable alternative for people who may have difficulties getting up and down their stairs. Brooks stairlifts are simple to operate and do not damage your home as the threads are attached to your stairs and not your wall. As well as these advantages, Brooks stairlifts are not obtrusive to others as they have a slim-line design which enables others to use the stairs as normal.
If you are looking for a stairlift company with an international reputation for making high quality, attractive and versatile products that provide years of reliable use at realistic prices, then your search is over. Platinum Stairlifts' expertise and products are well renowned for quality and reliability.
,Platinum Stairlifts,platinum-stairlifts,1,6 ,Minivator,1,minivator_logo.jpg,images/stories/virtuemart/manufacturer/minivator_logo.jpg,,Stairlifts,
When you choose a Minivator stairlift you are not only selecting a model that complies to British and European standards, you are also choosing an ISO Quality approved supplier who conforms to the ethical business practices required by both the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA), whose code of practice is approved by the Office of Fair Trading, and the Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA). You have the peace of mind of knowing your stairlift has been made by a respected, reputable company with a tried and tested reputation for safety, reliability and innovation.
All Minivator stairlifts are designed with the user in mind. Using feedback from users, healthcare professionals substantial experience to develop a range of stairlifts to suit different users' needs and budgets too.
Some stairlift users may have limited dexterity or painful conditions such as arthritis; Minivator's signature operating toggle minimises these problems by making our stairlifts easy to use. The toggle can be fitted on whichever side of the stairlift is easiest for you to operate. All that you need to do to use your Minivator stairlift is to press or hold the toggle in the direction you wish to travel and your stairlift will transport you smoothly and safely.
Minivator offers features such as a powered swivel seat and powered folding footplate; these can make using a stairlift even easier by allowing you to operate these functions at the touch of a button rather than manually - and battery back-up means they will still work in a power cut. Even if you don't need them now, they may be something you will benefit from in the future.
