No rail lubrication
Because the S2 does not use a traditional gear rack, the rail does not need the same grease or lubrication used by some older-style systems.
Slide track option
A slide track option may be available where there is a doorway, walkway or obstruction near the foot of the stairs, subject to survey.
Remote call and send controls
Remote controls allow the stairlift to be called or sent between floors, which can be useful in homes where more than one person may need access.
Charging anywhere on the rail
The S2 charges anywhere along the rail, helping keep the stairlift ready for regular day-to-day use.
Slim rail option
A specialist option where slim rail design matters
The S2 can be a useful option for straight staircases where a particularly slim rail is important. Its rail design helps reduce the visual impact of the stairlift in the home.
Where there is a doorway, walkway or obstruction near the bottom of the stairs, a slide track option may also be considered. This can help keep the foot of the staircase clearer, subject to survey and suitability.
