Glide upstairs in a Stannah Stairlift

What is a Stairlift?

A stairlift (sometimes called "stair lift" or "chairlift") is a piece of accessibility equipment, consisting of a chair that carries you safely up and down stairs, along a straight or curved rail that is secured to your stair treads. Stairlifts prevent falls, eliminating your stairs as a barrier and allowing you to enjoy the full use of your home.

A Stannah Stairlift can help you take control of your stairs, giving your family members peace of mind and giving you a greater sense of independence in the home you love.

Key Features of your Stairlift

Armrest Controls

The easy-to-use hand control operates the stairlift with the gentle push of a button. The ergonomic design is ideal for those with arthritis or limited dexterity.

Safety Edges

Safety edges bring the stairlift to a gentle, but immediate stop, should you run into any obstructions on your staircase.

Curved Stairlifts

Curved stairlifts hug the bends and turns of your staircase. Whether your stairs take a hard 90 degree turn or have a spiral shape, a curved stairlift can accommodate your needs.

Manual Swivel

When you reach the top of the stairs, the stairlift swivels to face the top landing and block the staircase below. You can use either the manual swivel levers or the powered swivel option.

Seatbelts

There are a variety of seatbelt options for stairlifts, but the best one was designed specifically for those with limited dexterity and flexibility. It’s easy to operate and mounted to the armrest.

Folding

Stairlifts fold up easily, so that others can use the stairs freely. The footrest fold button means no bending over to flip up the footrest, making it safer and easier to get in and out of the chair.
