Buying used secondhand Chairlifts is a big commitment. You really need to do a lot of market research. Get it wrong! You will surly be out of pocket for a good few hundred pounds (If your lucky)
Home Installation of Chairlifts
Only last week i was talking to a person who had bought a secondhand stairlift off a well known auction website. He paid 600.00 and tried to install it with the help of his brother. They installed the stairlift carriage incorrectly and cracked the stairlift body casting. The repair bill would have cost more than the stairlift they had just purchased
Professional Chairlift Installation
They eventually found a local professional chair lift company to supply and install a reconditioned chairlift costing them an extra 900.00, it actually cost them 1500 in total so as you can see they saved a small fortune Hmm...
Battery chairlifts are becoming a lot simpler to install due to all chairlift manufacturers producing battery D.C. chairlifts! No complicated electrical wiring. Most battery chairlifts can be plugged into a standard mains outlet-socket
If you intend to buy a second hand stairlift then it would be wise to purchase a battery DC stairlift. With that said! I don't recommend DIY stairlift installations! We are dealing with moving machinery and if not installed correctly and checked by a qualified engineer then sadly someone could get seriously hurt
Installing Curved Chairlifts
If your stairs requires a curved stair lift then trying to buy a secondhand curved stair lift for home DIY installation is a no brainer! Curved stair lifts are bespoke design! Each rail is custom made for your individual staircase
Saving Money buying Second hand Stair lifts
We all like to save money and buying second hand used unwanted stairlifts with the intention of diy installation might seem like a good option to reduce the costs of buying a new or reconditioned stairlift from a reputable supplier. Well the truth is! it will not costmuch more than trying to do it yourself and the added bonus of your stairlift being fitted by a professional along with a 12 month warranty out weigh all the other cost saving factors
I'm not against anyone trying to save money! Just remember the old adage' Forewarned is forearmed' this is the consumers' best weapon! We all have the responsibility to educate ourselves whether about buying secondhand chairlifts, Cars, Best buys at local supermarkets or engaging the services of local tradesmen
