Reconditioned Brooks 130 Annual Service & Safety Inspection, Standish, Wigan

We were pleased to return to Mr & Mrs H in Standish, Wigan, to carry out the annual service and safety inspection on their Brooks 130 straight stairlift — a lift we originally supplied and installed for them as a reconditioned unit.

With the carriage removed from the rail, the underside was thoroughly inspected, cleaned and lubricated where appropriate. We photographed the nylon rollers before and after cleaning and lubrication, showing clearly the difference the service makes.

The OSG and pinion gear were inspected, and the rail and rack were cleaned along their full length, removing the build-up that naturally accumulates through everyday use.

As with every service, the usual full inspection was carried out, along with carriage and seat cleaning, finishing with a final run test. A routine visit, but an important one — keeping on top of annual servicing is what keeps a reconditioned lift dependable year after year.
