Buying a stairlift is a major investment and the second or reconditioned stairlift market is perfectly legitimate. In fact, major manufacturers such as Stannah stair second offer, but buyers should be cautious about some unscrupulous traders.

There can be problems when buying second staircase. Heterosexual lanes can be re-used to install a second hand stairlift stairway second straight curve, but always need new rails. This is because even if the transport is second, the rails have to be tailored to suit the stairs as they should not obstruct the doors and must conform closely to the stairs. Industry experts say that simply is not possible to use the second curve lanes safely.

Some people bought Stannah curved rails that have been re-developed from a number of old tracks that have been cut and welded in an attempt to conform to a particular staircase. They are known in the industry as a cut and shut the name of a similar practice in the market for cars.

Many customers have been tricked into thinking you are buying a genuine Stannah lanes advertisers have made no attempt to clarify the fact that the rails are re-sale have been prepared from a selection of old Stannah lanes.

Owing to this new manufacturing process, quality and adequacy of the rails of the ladder is very poor and most importantly the stairlift could be unsafe.

To ensure that you receive a new railway which will then go directly to Stannah or one of its authorized distributors. Stannah approved all dealers to sign an agreement not to use cutting and closing of the lanes, giving customers the reassurance that they are getting a new one, and most importantly, 100% of rail safety.

It is also worth considering that the use of court business and closure of the lanes are not authorized dealers, and therefore can not buy spare parts for Stannah. This could seriously affect your ability to maintain its service lift and staircase. This also means that your stair lift engineers have no training Stannah.
