Many people hesitate to consider a mobility scooter, either due to pride or simply not realizing it’s an option. At Irish Stairlifts, with over twenty years of expertise in the mobility industry, we’ve helped countless clients discover how the right mobility scooter can significantly improve their quality of life. Here’s what you need to know about these life-changing devices.

Regain Your Freedom to Explore

A mobility scooter opens up a world of possibilities that may have felt out of reach. Whether it’s visiting local shops, exploring parks, or enjoying countryside trails, you’re no longer limited by physical stamina. Modern mobility scooters feature comfortable padded seats, smooth suspension, and easy controls that let you travel farther and longer than walking would allow.

Reduce the Risk of Falls and Injuries

As we age, muscle strength naturally declines, making falls and injuries more common. A mobility scooter provides a stable, safe way to get around, significantly reducing your risk of falls. Instead of pushing yourself beyond comfortable limits, you can conserve energy for the activities you enjoy most while staying safe and secure.

Maintain Your Independence

Relying on family members or caregivers for every outing can feel restrictive. A mobility scooter restores your independence, allowing you to run errands, visit friends, or simply enjoy fresh air on your own schedule. This independence isn’t just practical—it’s vital for mental wellbeing and maintaining an active social life.

Types of Mobility Scooters Available

• Portable Scooters: Lightweight and easy to disassemble for car transport, perfect for shopping trips and visiting friends.
• Mid-Range Scooters: Balanced performance for both indoor and outdoor use with comfortable seating for longer journeys.
• Heavy-Duty Scooters: Built for all-terrain use with enhanced weight capacity, suspension, and extended battery range for serious outdoor adventures.

Choosing the Right Mobility Scooter

Consider where you’ll use it most—indoors, outdoors, or both. Think about the distances you’ll travel and whether you need to transport it in a vehicle. Our team at Irish Stairlifts can guide you through specifications like weight capacity, turning radius, battery life, and terrain capability to find your perfect match.

Are you looking for an experienced company who can assist you with mobility ramps in Dublin? Look no further, welcome to Irish Stairlifts and Bathrooms. We have been established in Ireland for over a decade now and we are recognised as a market leader with our vast knowledge in the disability access market. Whatever your reasons may be for needing to install a ramp at your property we can assist you. Unfortunately, when people start to struggle with their mobility one of the hardest things for them to tackle is internal stairs and external steps. When people have steps outside their property the thought of having to tackle them by themselves can be so daunting that they choose not to go outside at all.

Of course, no one wants to be cooped up indoors and installing a ramp is the easiest, most cost-effective and practical solution to assist anyone that is struggling. When coming to Irish Stairlifts for your mobility ramps in Dublin we work predominantly with bespoke ramps. The ramps we make are made with concrete and finished with an anti-slip surface. They are sturdy and reliable so you will never have to worry about stepping out of your house alone again. The recommended fall for our ramps would be 1:20 where space is available, but they can be as little as 1:12 where space is limited. We measure the fall by multiplying the vertical height that needs to be overcome by the total length of the ramp and can work with you to get the best possible outcome.

You can get a feel for some of the bespoke ramps we have made previously by visiting our website. Every single one of our ramps in Dublin is built with health and safety in mind and conform to all relevant industry standards. To make the user feel even safer we also suggest that all ramps have handrails which run at the open sides. All of the handrails that we install on our ramps are made bespoke of steel and painted in an anti-rust paint. You can choose the colour of these handrails and we will work with you to ensure that the whole ramp is aesthetically pleasing to you.

If you think that you would benefit from the installation of one of our ramps in Dublin then please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can speak directly to a member of our experienced team by calling 045892696 and we will happily assist you further. We will take the time to discuss your needs and requirements and explain in more detail how our ramps in Dublin will help you personally. We can also answer any questions that you may have and put your mind at ease.

Still trying to find reliable folding mobility scooters? Have you considered taking a look at the Irish Stairlifts website? Since 1999, we have been one of Ireland’s highest-rated suppliers for mobility products and home adaptations due to our great understanding of the industry.

For those that are looking for folding mobility scooters, we have the ideal solution for you. Atto has recently released the smartest, highest-performance mobility scooter on the market, where it has the ability to split into two lightweight parts which can be united into a trolley suitcase for transportation purposes. The scooter itself is FDA approved as well as being CE & TUV certified thanks to its ability to meet all health and safety evaluations and procedures.

That being said, you can’t get the best understanding of one of our folding mobility scooters based on the online information, which is why we always recommend visiting our showroom when you have the chance. During your visit, you will be able to speak to one of our customer service advocates who will be happy to confer about individual products, as well as show you demonstrations so that you can gain a better understanding of the scooter.

As mentioned previously, we are also considered home adaptation specialists. This is because we have the capability to plan, supply and install mobility home adaptations that are suitable throughout your house. These include stairlifts, shower rooms, wetrooms, level tray enclosures and thru floor home lifts. If you are interested in finding out how we can assist you, please get in touch with our team so that we can evaluate your home and present the most suitable solutions available.
