Speeding up a stairlift
Every old person I know with a stairlift is ****ed off at how slow they go. Does anyone have experience of making these things go a bit faster? I mean picture an old person trying to get downstairs to answer the doorbell, shouting "just a minute!" or more precisely "just an hour!"
I know they don't want to be going so fast as they'd fall off, but the things have ****ing seatbelts on them anyway! There'd be no harm in making them go walking speed, with a gradual start. -- She was as easy as the Daily Star crossword. |

Apparently you can only go 4mph on the pavement, with an 8mph (like that's really really fast) scooter you must use the road, while trying to avoid 30mph cars.. Do you have to run in the road too? No, but I can exceed 8mph running, as can most people. Our laws are beyond a joke. Mind you, we don't have "jaywalking". -- While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account of a €ťgod gene€ś that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations Human Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in terms of human development are unwaveringly religious. --Sam Harris (An Atheist Manifesto) |

That did actually work with a radio controlled car I had as a kid, but it was a top of the range motor. The original burned out (on the correct voltage) just because it got bogged down in long grass. I don't think an old person wants to be sat in a chair that's on fire halfway up the stairs. -- When I was in the pub I heard a couple of plonkas saying that they wouldn't feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman.

The configuration of the rail for a curved stairlift is key. The first Ascending string has to be long enough to reach the first landing In one piece and the same applies to the descending one to the first landing then it requires just one curved piece to join the two. The seat shouldnt tip over the stairs which feels quite alarming. Lazy installers looking to save money will just use a standard length rail and just add pieces of rail to fit which slows down the seat if not stop It altogether at each intersection making the ride excruciatingly slow. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/uk-diy...t-1383995-.htm |
