📽️New Vlog! We BROKE a Stairlift ❌- Fixed a Stairlift ✅ - Installed a Stair Lift 🛠️ -All In a WEEK!
It's been quite a while, hasn't it?
Today's vlog is a catch up from the past couple years, instead of fixing golf buggies and mobility scooters, we're installing and repair stairlifts this week!
I mainly currently carry out a lot of stairlift work so this vlog will cover just that. In between the work we got to spend some time sight seeing, as I am lucky to be able to take time off as my own boss.
You'll get to see us repairing a stairlift with a broken charge connector, drop a stairlift from nearly roof level, and then install a lift for a customer who requires a powered hinge track.
I really hope you enjoy the vlog and I plan to get one published from time to time which will cover other types of jobs like mobility scooters etc.
Please like and subscribe, thanks for watching!

    Had one installed in my home in Durban, South Africa today esp for my Mom. Would be great if the seat was fully automatic when it turns into position. Also could be better if there was just two buttons to depress, one for an upwards and another for downwards movement in the event of someone not being able to use their hands. Other than that the installation was done expertly and the quality of the product looks marvellous. A highly recommended product for persons with arthritis or physical disabilities 👏💯

      You can reduce the volume of the beeper on the newer lifts , take it off the charge point and then swivel the seat , then press the down button a load of times on the remote and it’ll quieten down The beep when you move will remain but the off charge beep will reduce significantly

    I’m a service and repair tech in the midlands uk 🇬🇧. We work on a lot of Thyssen products. Homeglides, flows so on . I’ve noticed you work on a lot of acorns which we don’t tend to see. We get a lot of brooks, 1100, 950s. And many curves. We do hoists as well as through floor lifts like the Wessex and outdoor terrys step lifts

    • @themobilityguy
      @themobilityguy 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey, yes brooks would be rare over here and acorn would be very popular. I think that’s just down to marketing and whether they prefer brooks or acorn brand in the country Not a fan of the 1100 and the fact it’s gone from 1 motor to 4, in fairness the 950s are great lifts imo but hate their issues with the limit switches and their relentless graphite grease they use on their racking 😂 Love Thyssen and acorn/ brooks over any of the other models but have dealt with plenty of handicares too

    I bought this scooter it worked out great. I added the arm rests but personally have not used them. I used this for a week in Central London and a week in central Paris. Took it thru four airports and a TGV train. When we either folded or unfolded it we had several people standing watching with their jaws hanging open. It was so cool to watch. Used all day and never ran the battery out once. Bought the Atto Flight Kit for the airlines (definitely recommend that!) and the Europe charging kit which allows you to switch out the plug adapters. Amazing Engineering!

    Acorn lifts are not worth it. I had one installed for my father when mobility became an issue with stairs. The lift for some reason stopped working altogether. He had to call 911 to help him get down the stairs. I received a phone call from the police about the situation and how scared my father was. Fortunately the police stayed with my dad until I arrived. I placed a phone calls to the person who installed lift. No phone calls after a week were returned. My husband and I took it upon ourselves to take out the lift and dump it. A month later Acorn decided to return our call.

    • @themobilityguy

      Easiest lift in the market to change batteries on, pop off the cover , the batteries are there in front of you. Disconnect the connector from the main board and the batteries will slide out of the frame they are sitting in. You need 2x 12v 7ah deep cycle lead acid batteries , and not the cheap types , a good brand like Yuasa / Genesis / Yucell / Powersonic etc Shouldn’t take more than 5 mins PS: sometimes people tape the two batteries together prior to putting them back into the lift as it’s easier to handle them when reloading them back in
