Bruno Stair Lift | Option Considerations

Challenge: Back Issues or Trouble Leaning Over

Solution: Power Folding Footrest

When a Bruno stairlift is not in use, the arms, seat and footrest may be manually folded.

An optional power footrest will automatically raise or lower the footrest when the seat is folded, eliminating the need to lean over. 

The power folding footrest option is available on all Bruno indoor stairlifts.

bruno larger seat option

Challenge: Larger Body Size

Solution: Larger Seat

Bruno Elite indoor stairlifts, with a 400 lb lift capacity, are often used for bariatric patients. 

To further enhance comfort, an optional larger seat is available on Elite indoor stairlifts. The larger seat delivers wider space between the armrests, as well as a wider and deeper seat pad.





Challenge: Limited Hand/Finger Dexterity

Solution: Power Swivel Seat

To swivel the stairlift seat to exit safely away from the top-landing stairs, riders push down on a large level located on either side of the chai). 

Rather than pushing the level to manually turn the seat, an optional power swivel seat turns the seat automatically with the continued push of the armrest paddle control. 

The power swivel option is available on all Bruno indoor stairlifts, except Elite models with the larger seat already selected.

Challenge: Bottom of Stairlift Rail Causes Obstruction

Solution: Manual or Power Folding Rail

When there is a doorway, corner or high-traffic hallway at the bottom of the stairs, the end of a stairlift rail may cause a tripping hazard or obstruction.

Selecting an optional folding rail allows the bottom portion of the rail to retract and stack upon itself - removing an obstacles for other in the home. 

The manual or power folding rail option is available on Bruno straight indoor stairlifts.
