Question

What is the maximum height/step this trolley can handle

Answer

Afternoon Alex:

Thank you for your inquriy.  MS3C-300TSB and MS3C-300WC come with a 34 inch long track. Depending on the angle of the staircase, the units should be able to navigate reasonably high steps.  For example, at an angle of 45 degrees, chair should be able to navigate 20-21 inch high steps. As always, we strongly recommend for the chair to be tested empty prior to use with an individual.

Good morning Fred. Thank you for your inquiry. In order to be able to assist you with a proper selection of a stretcher, we would need to know the loading height for your van.

Our light weight stretchers have a 26 1/2 in maximum loading height.  Our commercial grade stretchers can go upto 31 inches loading height.  Also, please let us know if you need a stretcher with an adjustable height.

Thank you for your inquiry.  The unit is actually shipped in a crate which is 102lbs.  Should you decide to purchase the chair, we would strongly recommend that it would be transported in the crate to avoid damage.

Question

HELLO. I AM INTERESTED IN THIS PRODUCT. WHAT IS THE RETURN POLICY WHAT IS THE WARRANTY?HOW DOES THIS PRODUCT COMPARE TO THE MOBILE STAIRLIFT? THE MOBILE STAIRLIFT IS ALMOST TWICE THE PRICE. OTHER THAN THE VALUE, WHY SHOULD I PURCHASE YOUR PRODUCT OVER THEIRS?

Answer

Dear Mr. Chernow:

Thank you for your inquiry.  We believe in giving a fair price for a good product.  We are less expensive in price, but we dont sacrifice on quality.  These products are manufactured to our specifications and meet all international manufacturing standards including ISO.  We offer 3 years on frame and 1 year on motor and electronic components.  Our technical support is located in Houston, Texas, not somewhere offshore.  Many of our customers are elderly, who can not afford an expensive elevator or a chair rail.  Some even considered leaving the home they raised their families in.  This chair has made a huge difference in their lives; enabling them to be more independent and to stay in their homes.

Question

Is there a lubricant you all use or a way to make the stretcher easier to put/lift the x frame back up and lower it. With a heavy patient weighing say 265lbs when you go to lift the patient up to put the stretcher into loading position it will stick one posting before reaching maximum height.

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.  Any relatively low viscosity lubricant should work, including WD-40. Once applied, do a few dry lifts to work the lubricant into the mechanism.

Question

I work at a NHS hospital and our paediatric respiratory nurses are trying to source a airway model that can be used to illustrate to children the difference between a normal airway and one of an asthmatic. We have found the model that is currently on your website but were wondering if you supplied any variations. Thankyou in anticipation Mrs Lindsey Arthur Playleader DRI Bleep 1308

Answer

Good morning Mrs. Arthur, 

Thank you for your interest in MSEC. 

We do not have any variations of the airway model. However, the model on the website does come with four stages. The stages include normal bronchus, hypersecretion of the mucous gland, swelling of the lymphoid aggregations and smooth-muscle spasm.

Please do not hesitate to call or email me directly with any additional questions.

I am in need of an over the door shoulder pulley system for an 8 door. Nothing I've looked at online says it's for 8' doors and doesn't give length of cord. Do you carry any that would work on an 8' door I have been told by my Physical Therapist to get one for work on my frozen shoulder. Thanks.

Good morning Ms. Gloria,
