Q: How do I know what model stairlift I have?

Look for a manufacturer/model label on a visible part of the carriage, seat base or rail. Do not remove covers simply to find the model number.

Older & Discontinued Stairlift Manuals

Manuals for older stairlifts can be harder to verify because manufacturers have been acquired, renamed or models have been discontinued.

Our Legacy Stairlift Support Centre covers older Minivator, MediTek, Bison Bede and Thyssen stairlifts.

Why You Need the Correct Stairlift Manual

Stairlift instructions can differ between manufacturers, models and even different seat or control versions within the same product family.

Do not assume that a manual for a similar-looking stairlift applies to yours. Identify the brand and model first, then use the appropriate guide.

What Can a Stairlift User Manual Help With?

A user manual can explain normal operation, charging, user controls, seat and footrest operation, remote controls, routine care and the meaning of some display indicators.
