Brooks Superglide 120
We bought this model about 10 years ago for my Father in Law when he came to live us. Since he died the stair lift has only been used infrequently. Unfortunately when we tried to use it last week when we had a friend with MS visiting it failed (if had been successfully used a few months before on her previous visit).
Basically when it started to move (I was testing it unloaded) it moved slowly and made a squeaky whirring sound, and left dry black debris on the top of one of the shoulders (rubber?). However, after removing that I tried again and it moved ok (if a little slowly) with no further debris.
When our friend sat on it, it would not move at all, making whirring noises like something was rotating but without getting grip, and thus unable to elevate the load up the track.
Obviously I need to get this sorted out before her next visit (or we get older and need it ourselves!) so I wondered if anybody had any ideas what it might be. I am going to have to ring round to find somebody to repair it (if possible) and I usually find that I am likely to get a more accurate estimate/quote if I can give a better idea of the problem.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.
