Disabled stair lifts – when should you rent?

Buying a disabled stairlift, particularly a curved lift, can be an expensive business. So, we thought it might be interesting to look at those circumstances when it’s a good idea to rent a disabled chair lift, rather than buy new or reconditioned.

Renting a disabled stair lift could be a good move if someone in your household has had an accident and has temporarily lost the use of their legs – perhaps they’ve broken both legs and have to recover over a period of a few months. If you or a relative are at home with a virus or some other debilitating illness like glandular fever (mononucleosis). This won’t last for ever, but it will mean you have very little energy. A handicap chair lift can help you get around the house.

The other issue with renting disabled stair lifts is that not everyone can afford to buy a stair lift – a commitment of at least £1,500 is required for a straight stairlift, whilst a curved chair lift can set you back more than £4,000. If you’re renting a disabled chair lift for over five years, though, it could be time to think about buying, as it will be more cost-effective.

So, for those without the capital to buy a handicap chair lift outright or for those needing one only for a short period, renting a disabled chair lift can be a sensible option.
