Staircases are a common obstacle for individuals with mobility issues. Traditional stairlifts have been effective in providing assistance for straight staircases, but they often pose a challenge when it comes to curved or winding stairs. However, thanks to technological advancements, the Mobile Stairlift Helix by Mobile Stairlift has emerged as a game-changer. This motorized stair chair is designed to navigate curved stairs effortlessly, providing individuals with mobility limitations the freedom to access any part of their home. In this article, we will explore what makes the Mobile Stairlift Helix unique and how it works.
Unleashing Mobility Independence:
The Mobile Stairlift Helix is a remarkable innovation in the realm of assistive technology. Unlike traditional stairlifts that require permanent rail installation, this mobile stairlift is designed to be portable and easy to store. Its primary distinction lies in its independent tracks, enabling it to traverse curved staircases seamlessly. The Helix operates on a powerful motor system, providing a smooth and safe ride up and down stairs, regardless of their shape or configuration.
Key Features of the Mobile Stairlift Helix:
1. Independent Tracks: The Helix is equipped with two independent tracks that move in sync to adapt to the curvature of the stairs. This innovative design allows the Mobile Stairlift Helix to navigate tight turns and spiral staircases with ease, providing unmatched accessibility.
2. Ergonomic Design: The Helix is built with user comfort in mind. The seat is ergonomically designed and cushioned, providing a comfortable and secure experience during transportation.
3. Safety Mechanisms: Safety is paramount when it comes to mobility devices, and the Mobile Stairlift Helix doesn't disappoint. It incorporates multiple safety features, such as seatbelts, intuitive controls, and anti-slip tracks. These elements work in harmony to ensure the user's safety throughout the journey.
4. Battery-Powered: The Helix operates on a rechargeable battery system, eliminating the need for any additional wiring or electrical work during installation. This feature also ensures smooth operation even during power outages, making it a reliable choice for users.
How Does the Mobile Stairlift Helix Work?
Operating the Mobile Stairlift Helix is straightforward and user-friendly.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Secure Seating: Make sure the user sits comfortably on the ergonomically designed seat and fastens the seatbelt.
2. Positioning: Bring the back of the stairlift to approximately 8"-10" away from the bottom of the stairs. Lock the wheels and fold the back handles
3. Activation: Once the user is securely seated, turn the helix on by turning the key on the battery. Deploy the tracks by pressing the red lever and pulling the tracks out until they lock into place. Turn on the Helix by pressing the power button located in the control panel on the handlebar.
4. Smooth Ride: Turn the knob behind the seat to release the handlebar until it locks into place. Use the handlebar to tilt the Helix back until the tracks are resting flat against the stairs. The Mobile Stairlift Helix begins its ascent or descent, smoothly adapting to the curvature of the stairs. The user can sit back and relax, enjoying a comfortable and safe ride.
5. Arrival: Upon reaching the desired destination, make sure to keep backing up until the front wheels have cleared the edge of the landing. Only then, lean the handlebars forward to return the Helix to its seating position (all four wheels touching the ground). Now you can remove the wheel locks, push the tracks back into place, unfold the handles and continue the rest of your journey with the Mobile Stairlift Helix.
The Mobile Stairlift Helix by Mobile Stairlift is revolutionizing accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges, particularly those with curved or winding staircases in their homes. Its independent tracks, ergonomic design, and advanced safety features make it a remarkable solution. The Helix provides users with newfound freedom, allowing them to navigate their homes with ease and independence.
