Stairlifts can be a great benefit to those who struggle to climb the stairs unaided. Although stairlifts are more commonly associated with the elderly, anybody who finds it difficult to get up and down the stairs or has limited mobility may find getting a stairlift a huge help.
Depending on the staircase you have a straight stairlift may be the most practical option for you. It is exactly what it sounds like, a stairlift that goes straight up and down without any bends or twists.

Mr Thomas can now freely move around his home with ease since getting his Handicare stairlift installed.
All of our stairlifts have optional extras to make your life even more easier. We have powered options, so if you struggle to turn your hips or bend down, we have powered options to do it for you.
There are 2 options you can get, manual & powered hinges.
A manual hinge means you will need to raise and lower the end of the track manually.
With a powered hinge at a flick of a switch, the hinge will lift/lower automatically
When you start to travel up the staircase, the track will move with you. It is designed to facilitate a safe and comfortable dismount at both the top and bottom of the stairs.
This option is designed for homes with a door at the top of the stairs. Or where the stairlift could be a possible tripping hazard at the top of the stairs.
The powered swivel chair will automatically swivel your seat round so that you exit onto the landing safely without having to lift a finger.
Turning your footplate into a powered one will maximize free space. You can automatically fold up the footplate. This could be perfect if you struggle to bend down.
The full power setup includes both the power foot plate and power swivel seat. You get all the same benefits, but more value for your money when bought together.
*These optional extras can only be added at purchase after that the extras can’t be added on. Please ask our stairlift experts for more advice.
