Stannah 320 Outdoor Straight Stairlift
Our Take
The Stannah 320 Outdoor Straight Stairlift is built to cope with the British weather on straight outdoor steps. It carries up to 135kg (21 stone). Below, we set out the main benefits of the Stannah 320 Outdoor Straight Stairlift, along with a few things to weigh up before you buy.
Benefits
Outdoor Durability
Stannah built this lift for life outside. As a result, it stands up well to daily use in the garden or on the path to your door.
Compact Design
The seat and rail have a slim, space-saving shape. Therefore they leave room on the steps for other people to pass.
Weather Resistance
A weatherproof cover and sealed parts protect the lift from rain and damp. In addition, a folding cover keeps the seat dry between trips.
Comfort
The padded seat and steady ride make each trip easy. Consequently, going up and down the outdoor steps feels safe and relaxed.
Safety Features
The chair includes a seatbelt and sensors that stop the lift if it meets an obstruction. In addition, the seat swivels and locks at the top, so you can step off safely.
Customizable Options
You can adjust the lift to suit your steps and your needs. For example, there is a choice of rail length and seat height.
Considerations
Outdoor lifts need weatherproof parts, which add to the cost. Fitting can also take longer, because the weather sealing makes the job more involved.
The 320 Outdoor may offer fewer extras than a comparable indoor model. It also needs regular servicing to keep it working well in all weather.
Other Models to Consider
For an outdoor straight stairlift like the Stannah 320 Outdoor Straight, a couple of other weatherproof options are worth a look. The Acorn 130 Outdoor Straight folds slimmer at 310mm for tighter stairs and the MediTek EX120-2 Outdoor Straight is rated to 120kg, while the Platinum Horizon Plus Straight is a standard straight lift. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
