Suppliers of Lifts and Stairlifts:

Stairlifts are powered lifts mounted on wall or stair-fixed tracks which follow the line of the stairs. Most stairways can be fitted with a lift. They can be installed on straight stairs, stairs with a turn, along curved walls, and on unusually shaped or narrow stairways. Straight-tracked stairlifts are significantly cheaper than curved ones. The most common limitation is the width of your stairs, but stairlifts these days are fairly compact. Generally, you can get a stairlift with a seat fitted if your stairs are wide enough to allow room for your knees when you are sitting down, with some extra space for clearance. If you have very narrow stairs, you may need to fit a standing or perching lift. The carrying capacity of lifts can vary too. There are lifts that will carry up to 30st (190kg), while others will only take up to 25st (158kg).

If you want to find out more about stairlifts before you contact any potential suppliers, RIDC (Research Institute for Disabled Consumers – a national research charity in the UK with specific focus on consumer research for older and disabled people) has a very useful Guide to choosing and buying a stairlift

Second-hand stairlifts

It is possible to save money by buying a second-hand stairlift, but it is advisable to purchase from a stairlift manufacturer, or an authorised company dealing in reconditioned stairlifts. The company should have checked that the stairlift meets all current safety standards and check that they will provide a guarantee. Stairlifts can usually be installed in a day and are easily removed if no longer required.

Stairlift hire or rental

A number of companies offer stairlifts for rent or hire, usually charging an initial fee for installation and then a regular monthly sum. The company may have a minimum rent or hire period so check this beforehand. Hiring may be ideal if you are recovering from an accident or operation. These rental stairlifts are often pre-used and so there may not be a choice of colour or style.

For more information, see below or visit Equipment hire companies for the contact details of companies that offer a hire or rental service.

Other types of lifts

A stairlift is not compatible with wheelchairs, but it may be possible to fit a wheelchair or platform lift instead which are specifically designed for domestic environments. There are other types of lifts also available which may be more suitable depending on the person and the physical environment. These include vertical or through-floor lifts, short-rise lifts and outdoor lifts. These can be expensive adaptations and it is recommended to consult an occupational therapist to ensure you get the most suitable solution.

Listed below is just some of the suppliers of access lifts for people with disabilities and older people. This list is by no means exhaustive and just intended as a guide to the many suppliers and sources of products available.
