Is it Safe to Buy a Reconditioned Stairlift?

If you’re considering buying a stairlift but are concerned about the cost of a new model, a reconditioned stairlift is a cost-effective alternative worth looking into. However, people may still be sceptical about the safety of a pre-owned stairlift.

In this post, we’ll explore why reconditioned stairlifts from reputable suppliers like A6 Mobility are as safe as new models and put your mind at ease once and for all. 

What Makes a Reconditioned Stairlift Safe?

We believe every reconditioned stairlift must meet strict safety standards before installation. Our company follows a thorough reconditioning process, including testing, parts replacement, and safety checks that match manufacturer specifications.

Safety Testing Standards

Each reconditioned stairlift should undergo a full mechanical inspection and electrical safety testing. Battery performance should be checked, track and rail conditions should be assessed, and all safety sensors should be verified correctly. Such a rigorous process is why our repurposed stairlifts meet the same high standards as new models.

The Refurbishment Process Explained

A thorough refurbishment process takes place to ensure our reconditioned stairlifts are completely safe for daily use.

Initial Assessment

Qualified technicians carefully evaluate each pre-owned stairlift to determine its suitability for reconditioning. We examine the overall condition, age, and history of the unit. Only stairlifts that meet strict criteria move forward to refurbishment.

Quality Parts Replacement

During reconditioning, we replace any worn components, including batteries and upholstery. Safety features are checked and updated where necessary. Technicians use only high-quality, manufacturer-approved parts to guarantee reliability and safety.

Comprehensive Testing

Each stairlift undergoes extensive testing. This includes load testing, speed checks, and emergency stop verification.

We run multiple full-journey cycles for smooth operation and test all safety features under various conditions.

Safety Features of Reconditioned Stairlifts

Essential Safety Components

Every reconditioned stairlift includes essential safety features like obstacle detection sensors and lockable swivel seats.

The smooth start/stop technology matters for comfortable, secure movement, while seatbelts provide additional safety during operation.

Emergency Backup Systems

All reconditioned stairlifts have reliable battery backup systems for continued operation during power outages. The intuitive controls are designed for easy use, even in emergencies.

Choosing a Reliable Supplier

Professional Certification

The safety of a reconditioned stairlift largely depends on choosing a trustworthy supplier. A6 Mobility employs suitably qualified technicians with extensive experience in stairlift installation and maintenance.

User Safety Education

Each installation includes clear operating instructions and safety demonstrations. We ensure users understand emergency procedures and feel confident operating their reconditioned stairlifts.

Cost vs Safety Considerations

Investment Value

Reconditioned stairlifts typically cost 30-50% less than new models. We don’t compromise on safety standards because of these cost savings. Significant savings come from the pre-owned nature of the unit, not from cutting corners on safety or quality.

Our reconditioned stairlifts are built to provide years of dependable service. With proper maintenance, you can expect reliable daily use and excellent return on your investment.
