Stairlift Parts and Stairlift Spares

Stairlifts are designed to give you years of reliable service, but as with any other mechanical/electrical equipment, a fault may occur.  So what do you do if yours stops working and you need some stairlift spares to get your lift working again?

How many parts make a stairlift?

Stairlifts are made up of many components! The rail contains all the battery charging system and drive to move the stairlift up and down the track. The chair houses many switches and wiring to operate the lift from the chair arm with the joystick or button control.

However the carriage is where you will find the most parts and is the most complex part of the stairlift! The carriage will house the stairlift batteries, wiring, rollers, drive cog and motor and printed circuit boards or PCBs as they are more commonly called. The carriage also contains all the lift circuitry for the safety systems on all models, designed to stop in an emergency if the lift should come up against an obstruction on the stairs that will prevent it from working.

What Stairlift Parts need to be replaced regularly?

During a product lifespan there will be parts that you will need to replace on your lift that need to be changed out. These are normal wear and tear items, just like your car would need new break pads now and again.

For example, if the lift is bumping it is normally because the rollers need replacing which is a job that can be done by trained stairlift engineers.

Stairlift Battery Replacement

Although the batteries are rechargeable at some point in time they will wear out, and you'll usually notice this when the product is running slower than it used to. Read more about stair lift batteries in our dedicated blog post.
