Diagnostic digital display - Any (rare) faults with the stairlift are displayed digitally as a number or letter, providing clear and simple information for users and engineers.

Smooth start/stop action - The upward and downward movement begins smoothly and slowly, without jarring or sudden stops.

Lockable isolation switch - The stairlift can be locked with a key so that others (children, for example) cannot use it. The stairlift continues to charge when locked.

Swivel seat with locking catch - The seat of the stairlift turns for ease of access at the top or bottom of the stairs, and locks to prevent accidental slipping.
