Handicare 1100 Straight Stairlift

Innovative multi-drive system features covered rail

The Handicare 1100 straight stairlift uses a patented four-motor system that eliminates the need for a gear rack. The result is a fully enclosed travel rail for a stay-clean look. With a wide range of power options and an innovative slide-track feature when you have a door at the top of bottom of your stairs, the Handicare 1100 is next-gen technology.

Friction four-motor drive

Closed rail, smooth operation

Developed by Handicare, the friction drive delivers a super smooth ride with stop and start. Without the need for a gear rack that’s used for rack and pinion systems, the travel rail is fully closed, without openings for dust, dirt, or grease.

Background

Standard features and finish

  1. The lift is white with vinyl seat upholstery in vanilla
  2. Control the stairlift with the toggle on the armrest
  3. The seat, footrest, and arms fold up to keep the lift compact when not in use
  4. Comes with two remote controls which allow you to call the stairlift from upstairs or down
  5. The Handicare 1100 operates on battery power with continuous charging throughout the rail to ensure the lift is always ready to go. If there is a power failure, the stairlift will provide several up and down trips

Power Footrest

Choose a power folding footrest to add to your Handicare 1100 if you find it difficult to bend down to fold the footrest.

Power Swivel

A power seat swivel automatically turns the stairlift when it arrives at the top landing for safe deboarding if you find it hard to manually turn the seat with the seat swivel handle.

Slide track for doorways

If you have a door or entrance near the bottom or top of your stairs, the slide track system eliminates the potential tripping hazard when the rail protrudes into the doorway. As the lift moves up or down, the track retracts to clear the way.

Zero intrusion for top landing door

A simple solution for a top landing doorway is the zero intrusion brackets that secure the top of the travel rail to the top step, eliminating the rail intrusion – and tripping hazard – beyond the staircase.

Easy hinge for bottom landing door

Add a lightweight manual hinge, aided by a gas strut, to the bottom section of the travel rail as an easy way to move the rail out of the way at the bottom landing.
