Electric Lift Chairs

Electric Lift Chairs Australia – Power Lift Recliners for Elderly & Limited Mobility

Safety and Mobility supplies electric lift chairs designed to assist people with reduced lower limb strength, hip or knee pain, or limited mobility to stand up safely and sit down comfortably without straining. Lift chairs use an electric motor to gently tilt the seat forward and raise the user to a near-standing position, significantly reducing the effort and joint load required to complete the sit-to-stand movement, one of the most physically demanding and fall-risk activities of daily living for older Australians.

Our electric lift chair range includes single motor models (adjusting the backrest and footrest together) and dual motor models (allowing independent backrest and footrest adjustment) in a variety of fabric options, seat widths, seat heights, and weight capacities. Bariatric lift chair models are available for clients requiring higher weight capacity and wider seating. Chairs are available in a range of fabric colours and upholstery types suited to home environments. As a registered NDIS provider, Safety and Mobility can supply electric lift chairs to eligible NDIS participants with appropriate functional assessments and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a single motor and a dual motor lift chair?
A single motor lift chair moves the backrest and footrest together as a unit, reclining and rising happen simultaneously. A dual motor chair allows the backrest and footrest to be adjusted independently, giving the user more control over their seating position, particularly useful for people who need to elevate their legs while sitting upright, or who have specific postural preferences.

2. Can a lift chair be NDIS-funded?
Electric lift chairs may be funded under the NDIS as Assistive Technology, depending on the participant's plan and an occupational therapist's assessment confirming the functional need for a powered sit-to-stand aid. Safety and Mobility is a registered NDIS provider and can assist with NDIS quotes and documentation for eligible participants.

3. What size lift chair do I need?
The right size lift chair depends on the user's height, weight, and seated dimensions. Seat height, seat depth, and seat width are the key measurements. A seat that is too deep will cause the user to sit with pressure behind the knees; too shallow and the user lacks adequate thigh support. Our team can help with sizing guidance based on the user's measurements.
