The Simplicity 950 is a straight stairlift which means that it is suitable for use where a stairlift does not need to travel around a corner.

The stairlift track is slim in design and is fixed to the stair. It sits close to the edge of the staircase thereby leaving the staircase clear for other users.

The Simplicity 950 is compact in design and when the stairlift is not in use it can be folded up to maximise the space on the stairs or in the hallway.

All Minivator’s Stairlifts are battery operated so they will continue to work in the event of a power failure. The battery receives a continuous charge from the mains supply. The Simplicity 950 receives this charge irrespective of where the stairlift is positioned on the track. This means the stairlift can be parked on any section of the track when not in use.

The Simplicity 950 is also very easy to use. The stairlift is protected by a key switch, once switched on the toggle control is simple held in the direction of travel. The toggle can be placed on the left or right hand arm.

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.
In the event that your staircase has a 90° corner landing at the top with a couple of steps to the final landing it may be possible to fit a platform system. These systems work in conjunction with the stairlift: once the stairlift has reached the end of its travel the platform is lowered and forms a bridge between the stairlift and the landing. This means that the user can dismount the stairlift and walk directly onto the landing.

The system works in reverse when the stairlift is used to travel downstairs.

• Operating Your Minivator Stairlift

All Minivator Stairlifts are protected by a key switch, this means you can isolate your stairlift against unauthorised use. For example if the stairlift is only to be used in the presence of a carer the key can be removed and the lift becomes inoperable.

Once switched on, driving the stairlift is simple. Minivator worked with Occupational Therapists to design a system that is easy to use, even for users suffering from painful conditions such as arthritis. The resulting unique toggle switch is just held in the direction of travel for the duration of the journey.

It is a requirement of British Standards that a stairlift must have continuous pressure on the operating control to drive it. If the user does release the control during travel then re-applying pressure after a few seconds will start the lift in motion once more. The toggle requires minimal pressure to operate. The toggle can be placed on the left or right arm of the stairlift: if required the toggle can be re-handed.

All Minivator Stairlifts are supplied with two hand held remote controls. These can be used by a carer to operate the stairlift for the user or to send the stairlift to park at the other end of the track to maximise the space in the hallway.

The remote controls can also be used in multi-user environments when a user on one level wishes to call the stairlift that has been left on the other level.

Both remotes are supplied with wall mounted holders so that they can always be kept in the same place when not in use.

• Swivelling Your Stairlift Seat

When you arrive at the top of a staircase your stairlift seat should be turned to face the landing by using the swivel lever or control.

The Simplicity 950 stairlift has a manual swivel levers on both the left and right hand side of the seat. To operate either lever can be moved downwards: the seat is then moved round by moving the feet on the footplate to ‘walk’ the lift round.
