Oakland Stairlifts Announce Their New Transfer Platforms As A Way For People To Save Money On Curved Stairlifts

Online, February 26, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Many people require a curved stairlift for their homes, even though they tend towards being more expensive options. In homes with architecturally difficult or curved stairways, a cheaper straight stairlift is often inappropriate. Whatever the reason for someone needing a stairlift, whether temporary or permanent, it's essential the most suitable stairlift for them and their home is installed to ensure the user can live comfortably and retain mobility.

Wherever consumers decide to purchase their curved lift from, they can be assured it will prove more expensive than a straight variant. Curved stairlifts required a uniquely customised rail to fit the stairs of the home in question, requiring much more attention, manpower and development time than straight versions of a similar model. This drives up the price accordingly. If the need for a curved stairlift is temporary then people can rent one, lessening the impact of the technology's price. There are a few stairlift suppliers offering this service, including Oakland Stairlifts.

Oakland Stairlifts have announced a new transfer platform service, designed to help customers save money on the sometimes-prohibitive price of a curved stairlift. A Customer Service Representative for the company commented on the new service. "Transfer platforms function by creating a large step at the top of a stairlift's reach, which people can then use to step up to the end of a staircase . Quite often a stairway requiring a curved stairlift could as easily be served by two straight stairlifts, while still coming out cheaper. Transfer platforms allow customers to easily move between two straight stairlifts without having to climb any extra stairs between them. It will allow our customers to save money in instances where a curved lift is unaffordable."

This transfer platform allows people to save money on the cost of their stairlift, which may be an expensive luxury for some, by opening up the possibility of cheaper straight variants in architecturally difficult homes.

Oakland Stairlifts is a UK based stairlift supplier. They have a wide range of stairlifts which they offer customers to either purchase or rent, and always provide them with options to save money where possible, such as with their newly introduced transfer platforms.
