Our Take
The Handicare 2000 is a versatile stairlift system with one of the tightest track bends available on the market. This twin rail curved stairlift comes with several benefits and considerations to keep in mind:
Benefits
Modular Design
The Handicare 2000 Stairlift is known for its modular design, which allows for flexibility in customization to fit various stair configurations and user needs.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
Users often report a smooth and comfortable ride with the Handicare 2000, ensuring a pleasant experience while moving up and down stairs.
Safety Features
The Handicare 2000 is equipped with safety features such as seatbelts, sensors, and a swivel seat, ensuring a secure and safe user experience.
Customization
The Handicare 2000 Stairlift is designed for curved staircases, offering a high level of customization to fit unique and complex staircase configurations.
Considerations
Curved stairlift installations, including the Handicare 2000, can be more complex and time-consuming compared to straight stairlift installations. This might lead to longer installation times and potential disruption during the process.
Curved stairlifts tend to be more expensive than straight stairlifts due to their customization requirements and installation complexity. The Handicare 2000 might have a higher cost associated with its specialized design.
While the Handicare 2000 offers customization, it might not be suitable for individuals with extremely narrow or unusually shaped curved staircases.
While Handicare stairlifts are generally known to be reliable, curved stairlifts might require more frequent maintenance due to the complexity of the design and the potential for more moving parts.
