Quality brands such as  are thoroughly tested so that they will provide you many years of dependable service. These quality stair lifts are engineered in such a way that they will need very little stair lift maintenance. There are a few things however that you should keep an eye on.

It is often said that an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure. This is almost always true because most big problems started out as relatively small and benign things that could have been fixed if they had been caught. This is why it is important to pay attention to your stair lift. If you ever notice any movement or wobble to the track, then it is a good idea to inspect the braces and ensure that it is properly secured to the stairs.

Most stair lifts require that the track be greased periodically. Check your owner’s manual and make sure you apply the proper type of grease at the frequency prescribed by the manual. This is probably the most stair lift maintenance you will ever have to do. There is also a fuse that may need to be replaced once in a blue moon.

Make sure you read and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, however, because it will guarantee your equipment’s long life. You should also always pay attention to how your stair lift runs and functions so you can spot anything out of the ordinary.
