Product of the Year 2019: Dolphin Lifts Midlands
Product of the Year: 1100 Stairlift from Handicare
Lee Farrington, Managing Director, Dolphin Lifts Midlands
“The Handicare 1100 stairlift is the slimmest straight stairlift we offer and has been incredibly popular since it was added to our portfolio in 2018. Space is often at a premium when installing a stairlift and the ultra-slim compact design enables it to be fitted close to the wall. The seat, footrest and armrest can be folded when the unit is not in use which ensures there is plenty of space for other users to safely use the staircase.
“Whether we are working with a private individual or a large local authority, all our customers are looking for the same end result – a stairlift that will offer independence and peace of mind and the Handicare 1100 does just that.
“As many of our clients live alone this is also important for their friends and family. For example, in the very rare event that one of the motors breaks, the unit will still finish the ride up or down the stairs. Another safety feature on the Handicare 1100 is the sensors which are fitted as standard and will automatically stop the stairlift if there is an obstruction on the stairs.
“Any concerns about battery charge are eliminated by the continuous charge function which ensures the seat can be left anywhere on the rail and the batteries are always fully charged. The Handicare 1100 really does offer superb peace of mind to all concerned and as a distributor this is invaluable.
“Not only is the Handicare 1100 great aesthetically but also extremely easy to fit which is so important for us as a distributor. All these factors combine to make the Handicare 1100 a superb product which we are delighted to offer our customers and I believe would be a very worthy winner of the 2019 THIIS Magazine Retailers’ Product of the Year.”
