Van Gogh

One of the most popular stairlifts in the world
This Handicare stairlift provides a safe, smooth and comfortable ride up even the most complicated of staircases. It consists of a single tubular track, which is less than 8 cm. in diameter. Moreover, the track is available in three standard colors and optional in any RAL color for an additional charge. It runs almost silently and the most compact design allows plenty of space for other stair users. Our Van Gogh complies with the ASME 18.1. This is an American Standard which proves that the formentioned stairlifts and chairs meet the Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts. Furthermore, all our stairlifts are tested and approved by worldwide independent inspection services. This gives you the assurance that all our products meet the highest standards in terms of quality and safety.Funcitons
Functions of our stairlifts for your convenience
Turn and Go for very narrow curved staircases
Turn and Go has been specially developed to help those customers who have a very narrow staircase that turns corners. Once seated your seat will turn automatically so that your back faces the stairs, not the wall or handrail, during travel and thereby move your knees away from clashes with the wall or banister. It can also be used to help clients who have difficulty bending their knees to fit into the available star width and is compatible with the Handicare Van Gogh or Rembrandt so long as there is room on the top landing to turn and park the seat.
Folding up your stairlift
When your stairlift is not being used you can fold it up to maximize free space in your hallway. The footplate, armrests and seat can be folded up to increase available space leaving the staircase as clear as possible for other users.

Calling your stairlift
All Handicare stairlifts come with two remote controls as standard, so you can have one upstairs and one downstairs. This means you can send your stairlift up and down the track without having to sit on it. This not only allows you to park at the top or bottom of the stairs, it is ideal for multi-user situations as your stairlift can be called between levels, just like an elevator.
Swivelling your Handicare seat
When you arrive at the top of the stairs you will need to swivel your seat round so that you exit onto the landing safely. Handicare supplies all seats with a manual swivel function as standard. The Van Gogh, Classic and the Elegance seats can have auto-swivel functions as an optional extra.
