Master Lifts' focus on quality and service also extends into the commercial and residential arena where we are a frequent point of first reference for many leading architects, developers and builders.

Straight Stair Lifts

The Minivator Easy Rider range of stairlifts all feature the revolutionary narrow “Safe-tee” rail that is only 80mm wide and has been aesthetically designed to take up minimal space on the stairs and to look great.

Master Lifts is the exclusive importer and installer of this world famous range of stairlifts. The Minivator range is credited with more safety and product improvement awards than any other stairlift manufacturer.

The Minivator range all feature:
*   adjustable seat heights
*   battery powering for maximum reliability
*   safety sensors on all leading edge and underneath edges that will stop the stairlift in the event of
. ...meeting an obstruction on the stairs
*   infra-red send and call remotes at each end of the rail
*   radio send and call stations at each end of the rail where the lift is installed on external stairs
*   automatic trickle battery charger that plugs into a normal household power point
*   attach to the stair treads only - not to the wall or the stair railing

They run so smoothly and are so quiet that you can only just hear them.
There are genuine external versions of all the Easy Rider models. These are specially engineered and modified to resist rain and UV.

There are Minivator stair lifts in houses, units, offices, churches and commercial buildings. There have been many reasons given to us by purchasers when they decided to install a Minivator Chair Stairlift.

 The Minivator Easy Rider Stand Up Model 1031
The majority of users find that the stand up model suits them well as they avoid having to bend their knees. This unit has a good-sized standing platform that folds up vertically, out of the way when not in use, as does the arm rest.
   
The user stands with hands on the back frame and there is a waist/hip support strap. At the bottom of the stairs the platform is just a few inches above the floor.
At the top, the platform is set to stop level with the landing. The user has to simply step sideways to access or exit the unit - no stepping up or stepping down.

The Minivator Easy Rider Perch Seat Model 1032
The 1032 is an extension of the 1031 stand up model. It can be used for standing, but has the additional support of a perch seat. This perch seat, while not placed to take a person’s full weight, does give real support for those who would find it too tiring to be fully standing for the short trip.
 
The stand up model allows the user to stand with their back to the machine and control the movement via a toggle switch in the end of an arm rest.

Incidentally, most users seem to find both the 1031 and 1032 extremely useful for carrying their groceries up the stairs.

The seat turns 90° when the chair stops at top of the stairway, so that the passenger can exit the lift with both feet on the level landing, away from the step. There is also a seat belt. When not is use the stair lift folds neatly against the side of the stairway.

The Minivator Easy Rider Seated Model 1035
For those who would prefer to be seated, the Minivator sit down model has been designed to ensure a comfortable sitting position. The design therefore entails 2 armrests, a good sized well padded seat and a footrest.

Swivelling Your Stairlift Seat
When you arrive at the top of a staircase your stairlift seat should be turned to face the landing by using the swivel lever or control.
The Minivator 1000 and 2000 stairlifts also have manual swivel levers located on both sides of the seat: these can be operated by pulling them up or pushing them down. The seat is moved around by pressing against the footplate whilst turning in the desired direction.

Stairlifts with Hinge Tracks
Sometimes the layout of a hallway means that the stairlift track must be positioned in front of a doorway thereby causing an obstruction.
This is overcome by using a hinge track, the track can be folded upwards when the stairlift is not in use leaving access to the door.

The Minivator 1000 and 2000 stairlifts can also be installed with a manual hinge track. They operate in a similar way but the stairlift is sent to its park position by using a special button on the remote control. When the hinge is lowered the stairlift is called down using the remote control.
If the user finds it difficult to bend installing a powered hinge track removes the need to bend because the hinge is raised and lowered from a button on the remote control. This option is available on Minivator 1000 and 2000 Stairlifts

Push button powered raising and lowering of the footrest makes folding the unit up even easier for users who may have trouble bending.

Operating your Minivator Stairlift

All Minivator Stairlifts are protected by a key switch, this means you can isolate your stairlift against unauthorised use. For example if the stairlift is only to be used in the presence of a carer the key can be removed and the lift becomes inoperable.

Once switched on, driving the stairlift is simple. Minivator worked with Occupational Therapists to design a system that is easy to use, even for users suffering from painful conditions such as arthritis. The resulting unique toggle switch is just held in the direction of travel for the duration of the journey.

It is a requirement of Australian Standards that a stairlift must have continuous pressure on the operating control to drive it. If the user does release the control during travel then re-applying pressure after a few seconds will start the lift in motion once more. The toggle requires minimal pressure to operate. The toggle can be placed on the left or right arm of the stairlift: if required the toggle can be re-handed.

All Minivator Stairlifts are supplied with two hand held remote controls. These can be used by a carer to operate the stairlift for the user or to send the stairlift to park at the other end of the track to maximise the space in the hallway.

The remote controls can also be used in multi-user environments when a user on one level wishes to call the stairlift that has been left on the other level.

Both remotes are supplied with wall mounted holders so that they can always be kept in the same place when not in use.
