Probably the house where you live now is the house where you want to grow old. We all hope to grow old physically and mentally healthy, but what if you later have difficulty walking or for whatever reason you no longer dare or can not go up the stairs? But some disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, for example, can also cause an error in judgment when climbing stairs. Stairlifts are then the ideal solution and really make a difference in quality of life with the necessary freedom and independence at home. Thanks to this affordable and sustainable solution, people can continue to live safely in a familiar environment. A stairlift takes you up and down again via a chair that is propelled by an electric motor over a rail attached to the stairs.

I see it with my grandmother. She still lives completely independently in her lovely home, partly thanks to a stairlift. Her bedroom and bathroom are upstairs and thanks to the stairlift she can continue to live in her place where she feels at home. How nice is that. My grandmother lives alone, which you have to take into account when there are several people living in the house, that it is easy for others to walk around the stairlift and get up and down safely.

Don’t grow up, it’s a trap

A stairlift must be affordable for everyone, which is why there is not only enough choice in new stairlifts, second-hand stairlifts are also available. Of course with the same safety guarantee. Choosing a used stairlift can save you thousands of euros.

For comparison, an overview of stairlift prices so that you have an idea of what a new and a used stairlift costs on average. There is also an option to rent a stairlift.

Straight stairs

• New € 2.630 – € 5.399
• Used € 1.690 – € 2.890

Staircase with bend(s)

• New € 5.095 – € 10.580
• Used € 2.590 – € 6.000

A used stairlift is just as safe as a new stairlift. With a used stairlift, an existing rail is adapted to the size of the stairs. The chair with motor unit contains software that safely controls the stairlift up and down. This programming is adjusted again for each situation. Just as safe as new, only cheaper. That way you save money for other fun things.
