Mountain West Reconditioned Stairlifts
Are you experiencing mobility issues due to aging, a medical condition, or an accident? No matter the cause of your limited mobility, the biggest challenge in such a situation is climbing up and down the stairs, and even moving around your home freely without support from someone. This is where stairlifts come in handy. However, not everyone can afford the cost of purchasing and installing a brand new stairlift. So, if you are on a budget, Mountain West reconditioned stairlifts can be a cheaper option than buying a brand new one. You are very likely to find a good stairlift that suits your needs and budget.
Stairlifts are a great solution that can enable you to navigate your stairs and move around freely and independently when you have reduced mobility. Over recent years, they have become a preferred option for the elderly and other people with reduced mobility.
Our reconditioned stairlifts come with the same quality assurances that you would expect from any Stannah stairlift, and are available for both straight and curved staircases.
Unlike buying a stairlift from a private seller, a pre-owned Stannah stairlift will always be fully reconditioned and tested rigorously by our team of engineers and will only receive the Stannah reconditioned certification when it meets our exacting standards of quality and safety. Also, it will never be older than 3 years old.
Therefore, you can be certain that when a refurbished Stannah stairlift is installed in your home, you will have peace of mind that your stairlift of choice will remain of the highest quality – and after all, it still has the Stannah family name on it!
Why Choose a Reconditioned Stairlift?
-
a) Costs Less
This is the number one benefit of buying a reconditioned stairlift. Instead of paying for a new stairlift, the only costs you need to pay for reconditioned stairlifts are parts and labor. This reduces the cost of labor and the special materials needed, making refurbished stairlifts much cheaper overall than brand new stairlifts, with a variety of competitive price options.
-
b) They Are As Good As New
We tend to assume that all used things may have issues. But when it comes to reconditioned stairlifts, this is not the case.
A reconditioned stairlift is refurbished to the same standards as a new stairlift. Plus, the stairlift as a whole is rigorously tested by our team of highly trained and experienced engineers to ensure it is in good working order and will provide a safe user experience.
-
c) Eco-Friendly
Instead of dumping a damaged or used stairlift in the landfill, reconditioned stairlifts live a second life. This reduces the amount of waste going to landfills, which in turn leaves a positive impact on our environment.
-
d) Support and Service Is Excellent
Most stairlift companies and dealers offer the same labor warranty and after-sale services for their Mountain West reconditioned stairlifts as they would with new ones. This provides the same level of quality assurances, thereby giving customers peace of mind.
Our Standards and Assurances:

What Types of Stairlifts Are Available?
Every house is different, so the type of stairlift you need will depend on the type of stairs that you have. Our reconditioned models include both straight stairlifts and curved stairlifts from our complete range that are no longer needed by the owners.
That means no matter which model you choose you will be benefitting from the high-quality manufacture, testing, and safety features that come with a new Stannah stairlift.
If you’re not sure which model suits your needs or is right for your home, we are here to help you make the right decision. Feel free to get in touch with our friendly stairlift experts on (888) 542-3834 who’ll happily talk through any further questions you may have.
Do You Supply Reconditioned Stairlifts For Curved Staircases?
When you purchase a stairlift from us, be that new or reconditioned, we pride ourselves on providing a high-quality solution that meets your needs. This means that when you buy a reconditioned stairlift for your curved staircase, the rail provided would still be designed new to match the exact contours and dimensions of your staircase.
This not only ensures a smooth ride but also allows us to provide a solution that makes the best use of the available space on your staircase. The chair and carriage that is provided as part of a reconditioned purchase are professionally refurbished by our in-house technical experts and rigorously tested before leaving our workshop to ensure proper safety and functionality.
How Long Does It Take To Install And How Disruptive Is It?
We always do everything we can to ensure that the installation is as quick and convenient as possible. We aim to install a stairlift in just a matter of hours and with minimum disruption of your routine life.
Once your stairlift is installed, our engineers tidy up after themselves so that they leave your home in the same condition as they found it.
How Much Does Reconditioned Stairlifts Cost?
Mountain West reconditioned stairlifts prices vary depending on several factors, including the model, type, and length of the track, straight and curved models, as well as any additional features and specifications that you may need to improve your stairlift’s functionality.
Generally, a reconditioned straight stairlift is cheaper than a reconditioned curved stairlift since it requires a bespoke curved track to fit your home. This will add to the cost of parts and labor. In fact, you can expect each corner of your staircase to as much as double the initial cost.
That being said, the average cost of a reconditioned stairlift is £1,990. Prices start from as low as £875 for the reconditioned straight stairlift and £2975 for the reconditioned curved stairlift. Most prices are inclusive of installation costs, parts, extra features such as customized controls, and warranty.
What Makes A Good Reconditioned Stairlift?
Once you have decided that a stairlift is a right option for you, be sure to look for one that best suits your needs before coming to a final decision.
With so many options to choose from, settling on one option from the range of reconditioned stairlifts can seem like a daunting task. To help make the buying process easier, here are a few things to consider that will help you find the right reconditioned stairlift:
-
a) User’s Mobility
This is the most important thing to consider when choosing stairlifts. A mobility device should make the user’s life easier, safer, and more comfortable. Be sure to help the dealer you are working with understand your mobility needs so they can recommend the best possible solution.
-
b) The Type of Staircase
The size and shape of your staircase will also determine the type of Mountain West reconditioned stairlifts you can have installed. For instance:
- Straight Staircase and Straight Stairlift – These are suitable for homes in which the stairs have no curves, turns, or immediate landings. If this is the kind of staircase in your home, then the standardized reconditioned straight stairlift should be perfect. This type of model is, by far, the most common, easy to install, and cheap stairlift available. With this stairlift, the entire assembly is pre-owned, including the drive unit, rail, and seat.
- Curved Staircases and Curved Stairlift – Stairs in some properties have turns, curves, or immediate landings. As such, some buyers should consider reconditioned curved stairlifts. Given that each curved staircase is unique, curved stairlifts are often custom-made to fit the specific space. In that case, the rail is brand new, but other parts- usually the power unit/ batteries, seat, and rollers- are pre-owned. Curved reconditioned stairlifts tend to be a bit costlier to buy and install than a straight refurbished stairlift. Stairlifts reconditioned to fit curved staircases can be expensive.
- Outdoor Stairlifts – You may need outdoor stairlifts to access outdoor spaces like stairs up to your front door, down to the garage, out to the back garden, or around the patio. They can be straight and curved, although most manufacturers and dealers offer only straight outdoor models. These models differ from indoor stairlifts since they’re made of weatherproof materials to withstand outdoor conditions.
Stairlifts Safety Features
A set of safety features will help ensure user safety by preventing falls and injury. It is important to make sure the stairlift you choose has them. This includes:
- Seat Belts – A mobility device is required to have some kind of user restraint. The good news is that Stannah stairlifts come with seatbelts to keep users secure while moving. Some models even include optional harnesses to provide a more secure restraint for the elderly who have trouble sitting upright.
- Obstruction detection – These are electronic sensors that can detect objects on the rails and stop the device from colliding with it. This helps to avoid injury to the user or damage to the stairlift.
- Keylocks – This is a key that, if removed, stops the device from operating. It can help prevent use by children, or unsupervised use of the stairlifts by others who might need supervision, like someone suffering from dementia.
Always Check the Warranty
Ideally, the warranty should last at least a year from the time of installation and cover any performance issues that may affect the normal operation of a reconditioned stairlift.
This is not always the case though, so do check the warranty period and note any exclusion. Make sure critical parts like the gearbox, rail, and motor are covered, and that a full labor warranty is included.
This will help save money on maintenance, ensure reliability, and avoid possibly dangerous situations.
