Stairlifts - Minivator 2000 - Forr Mobility, Kent, UK.

The Minivator 2000 is a curved stairlift: curved stairlifts are also known as Round The Corner or RTC stairlifts.
These stairlifts are designed for use on a staircase which turns a corner or is spiral in design.
The track is mounted on stanchions which are fixed to the stairs. Every Minivator track is built to order following a survey of the staircase. Our team of designers calculate the optimum track to accommodate the staircase whilst maximising the clear space on the stairs. The track can be placed on either side of the staircase. The Minivator 2000 system offers the tightest internal bend on the market which means that in many cases this system will fit into hallways that other stairlifts cannot accomodate.
Generally the track will have two charging points, top and bottom, however some tracks may require intermediate charge points too. When the stairlift is not being used it should be left on one of these points. These points are generally located at the position where the stairlift stops. If circumstances dictate an alternative parking point, if a hinge track is used for example, the park position is easily located by using the park button on the remote control. Parking on the charge point keeps the battery topped up so your stairlift will continue to work in the event of a power failure.
Slimline design is a concept that extends to the Stairlift itself, the stairlift can be folded up meaning minimum storage space is needed when the stairlift is not in use. The addition of a powered footplate makes folding the unit up even easier for users who may have trouble bending. You can choose to fold the footplate by flicking a switch located under the arm of the stairlift or when folding the seat up and down.
When it comes to using the Minivator 2000 it is very straight forward. The stairlift is protected by a key switch, once switched on the toggle control is simple held in the direction of travel. On arrival at the top of the stairs the seat is turned to face the landing so that you can get on and off your stairlift with ease. If preferred you have the option to add a powered swivel to make turning the seat even easier.
The Minivator 2000 is available in two types of seat and a choice of colours. The operating control can be placed on either arm.
