DIY curved Platinum stairlift. Built from second hand parts

My journey in building a curved stairlift for my 90 years old father.
Despite what was built was clearly not Stannah quality, the money savings has been enormous!.
This stairlift was built second hand parts, which consisted of 2 Platinum stairlifts and a Stannah stairlift where i needed the gear racks.

Nice build

I want to build one from scratch. How is the chair actually powered? Is it a battery under the seat?

Hi, i need construct the same stairlift, can you help me with information??

[@ukantsx]

Great job. I am trying to build from scratch, can you help me with track tooth pitch and thickness

[@wdaliu]

I'm not sure the details of this. When i did it, i bought old Stannah tracks and cut out the the bits i wanted. Surprisingly you can bend the tracks with brute force and vice - didnt even need to heat up.

[@aminking2005]

great job. can you help me with the diameter and thickness of the track?

[@IainSherriff]

Great job !! In a similar postion myself .................. did you need to programme the seat after install ?

[@wdaliu]

Hi. Yes the seat needs to be programmed. At the time, i found a tech manual on the net telling how to do it.
It's all done from within the seat's control panel (there are 2 or 3 buttons there). Sorry, i don't have the manual anymore.

Hi, great job!
I'm trying to do the same thing but I don't know how to bend the rack.
For tubes their are bending machines but not for racks. How did you do? Thanks

[@wdaliu]

Hi.
surprising, they weren't that hard to bend. I just put them in the vice and bent it cold. They appear to be a softer type of metal compare to the tubes.
I think in some areas, I had to put some cuts to encourage the bending points, then wield them back together afterwards.
Best of luck

Ja das ist das Ergebnis, wenn ein Treppenlift nicht fachmännisch gefertigt wird. Die Fahrhöhe in den 180° Bögen ist unzulässig hoch. Eine solche Anlage bekäme in Deutschland nicht das okay des Bauamtes (Mehrfamilienhaus).
Eine Lackierung ist nicht lange Haltbar. Knie Freiheit grenzwertig und am oberen Ende sollte man dem Nutzer unterrichten, dass er die Sitzfläche entriegel und um ca 90° bergseitig dreht. Dann ist ein sicheres und gefahrloses Einsitzen gewährleistet.
Billig war die Billiglösung jedenfalls. Kompliment das die Anlage überhaupt funktioniert. Privat darf sich ja jeder selbst in Gefahr bringen solange er niemand anderen gefährdet.
