Welcome to Irish Stairlifts, Ireland’s market leaders for mobility products including wheelchair ramps, stair lifts, mobility scooters and home adaptation solutions. As a business, we take great pride as a business on having excellent product knowledge, meaning we can provide accurate, honest and reliable information to clients. Our customer service levels are considered outstanding due to our team’s ability to carefully listen and meet all customer specific needs and requirements.

Here at Irish Stairlifts, all of our wheelchair ramps are unique and individual, though this is because we recognise that every client’s environment and preference is different. To begin the installation, our team will visit your location to carry out research in order to gain the needed measurements for the required work. One of the most important factors we consider is health and safety, which is why we also make sure all ramps include a level turning platform at the top, as well as ensuring the fall is not too steep.

When we install the ramp, we will use a brush finished concrete mix, which will then be anti-slip and wheelchair friendly. In addition to the ramp itself, our team will then install rails and edgings to run on the open sides for safety and practicality. These will be made with steel and then coated in an anti-rust paint and the colour of your choice, meaning it can fit within the existing colour plan of your home.

If you are interested in viewing some of our previous work, be sure to head over to our gallery when you have the chance. Wheelchairs ramps aren’t the only home adaptation solution that we work on, as we also have the expertise to work on solutions within your home. As mentioned within our name, our team has the capability to plan and install stairlifts, showers and wetrooms, public access lifts and thru floor home lifts.

All of these will be planned carefully by our team whilst incorporating the customer’s specific requirements, enabling us to guarantee that our clients will be satisfied with the end result.

Mobility scooters are a reliable way to stay independent, but like any vehicle, they need regular upkeep to stay safe, clean, and fully functional. With a little care and routine attention, you can extend the life of your scooter and avoid costly repairs.

Before performing any maintenance: always switch the power off and unplug the charger. While these tips apply broadly, you should also follow the specific guidelines in your scooter’s manufacturer manual.

Cleaning Your Mobility Scooter

Keeping your scooter clean not only makes it look better but also prevents dirt from interfering with moving parts.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to dust all exposed parts.
• For general cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild detergent or glass cleaner.
• Wipe down the seat with gentle disinfectant wipes.
• Avoid spraying water directly on the scooter—especially near electrical components.
• Do not use wax, oil, or abrasive cleaners.
• Once cleaned, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Use a protective scooter cover to reduce dust build-up when not in use.

Routine Maintenance & Safety Checks

Performing small daily and weekly checks will keep your scooter in excellent condition between professional services.

• Tyres: Inspect treads for wear and replace thinning tyres promptly.
• Upholstery: Look for tears or rough spots that may cause skin irritation.
• Battery: Check the gauge regularly. Recharge when low or replace if the gauge remains in the red.
• Moving Parts: Test components such as the tiller, wheels, swivel seat, levers, and mirrors to ensure smooth operation.

Brakes

Most mobility scooters use an inertia braking system, slowing automatically when you release the throttle. To ensure safety:

• Before each journey, check that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. This setting allows manual pushing but disables braking.
• Confirm that the freewheel lever (usually near the rear wheel) is locked in drive mode.
• Test the brakes by gently setting off and making sure the scooter stops smoothly.

Checking the Seat

Nearly all scooters come with detachable seats. Before riding:

• Give the seat a firm shake to confirm it is securely locked in place.
• Adjust for comfort and ensure it doesn’t loosen while in use.

Seasonal Care Tips

The Irish climate can affect your scooter’s performance, especially in wet or cold weather:

• Rain: Always cover your scooter when not in use. Moisture can damage electrical systems.
• Cold Weather: Batteries drain faster in colder temperatures. Keep them fully charged and store your scooter indoors when possible.
• Summer: Avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure to prevent seat fading and plastic damage.

Read the Manual

It may seem obvious, but reading your user manual is one of the best ways to maintain your scooter properly. Manufacturers include recommended service schedules, troubleshooting tips, and specific cleaning instructions that can save both time and money.

If you require further guidance or professional maintenance, Irish Stairlifts & Bathrooms offers expert advice and servicing for all types of mobility scooters, including foldable mobility scooters. Contact us today to keep your scooter in top shape and ensure safe, independent travel.
