Our lifts at Hanover Lifts are produced by advanced designers and engineers across areas like Dorchester, who ensure our products are high quality and reliable. It is important to know what power source your lift uses, in the unlikely case of a breakdown, so that the source can be changed or replaced if necessary.

Batteries

It is common for some stairlifts we supply across areas like Dorchester, to be battery-powered as opposed to connected to the main household power supply. This means that if the property experiences a loss of power, the stairlift can continue to function without the need for direct contact with the household power supply. However, this also requires that the charging level be consistently observed so that the battery can be replaced when it eventually runs out.

Household Power

The most typical method for powering the lifts is by using a direct connection to household power. This means that the stairlift can draw electricity instantly, powering the motor that pushes the lift along the rails or track. Alongside this, a direct connection to household power means that there is no requirement to replace batteries to recharge the stairlift, and can provide a more reliable or easy solution for those with mobility issues across places like Devon and Dorchester.

Back-up Power

Most lifts will come with a backup power system, whether they are battery-powered or not. This means that if power outages do occur, the backup systems will be essential for allowing the stairlift to continue functioning properly. This results in anyone dealing with a mobility issue in areas where we supply stairlifts, like Dorchester and Exmouth, still having easy access to traversing the home.

The power behind your lift is one of the most important elements of the product and its function, so whether yours is battery-powered or directly connected to household power, your lift will provide you with a safe and reliable means of moving through your home.
