Are reconditioned stairlifts reliable?

There is no need to worry that just because a pre-owned stairlift has been used before that it will have functional or reliability problems once installed. Stairlifts are made to last and are very durable.

Preparation and model selection is key when it comes to the reliability of reconditioned stairlifts. We only select the best and most up-to date models on the market for reconditioning. Like all reputable stairlift companies offering reconditioned stairlifts for sale, we fully conform to the latest safety standards and guidelines when preparing stairlifts for reconditioning. All stairlifts go through a full reconditioning process to the highest of standards with all safety aspects inspected, parts replaced if necessary and tested thoroughly – this all increases the reliability of the stairlift.

The warranty on a reconditioned stairlift is the same as when buying new and this can be updated long or short term.

To maintain our competitive stairlift prices the mechanical reliability is of great importance to us as a company as it is to the user. If for example a recently installed reconditioned stairlift continues to break down, then that would mean more expenditure from a business point of view, i.e. engineer visits, replacement parts etc.

Out of the thousands of installations we have completed over the years, we’ve analysed repair and call out history stats and have found reconditioned stairlifts to be just as reliable as new ones.
