Heavy Duty rated Powered Folding Hinged Track from MediTek
MediTek Develop a Heavy Duty rated Powered Folding Hinged Track
UK stairlift manufacturer MediTek has developed a manual and powered - Heavy Duty Hinged Track for use on its straight stairlift range. The new Heavy Duty Hinge can now accommodate a safe working load of 160kg (25st) which is 40kg (6st) more than that of the standard hinge.
MediTek managing director Phil Rice told THIIS: “The introduction of the Heavy Duty Hinge overcomes the previous difficulty of installing a heavy duty rated stairlift into properties that require hinged tracks. Also, we believe the availability of a heavy duty hinged track enhances the commercial and recycling potential for the MediTek stairlift range for any retailers and local authorities that operate loan stores and rental schemes.”
MediTek are confident they are the only UK manufacturer that can supply a fully compatible heavy duty powered hinge track for use on domestic stairlifts.
The new Heavy Duty Hinge is retrospectively upgradable and compatible with all other lift options and is available on all orders from today.
