Most Commonly Asked Questions
Most Commonly Asked Questions
Yes. Curved stairlifts should be serviced regularly to ensure safe and reliable operation.
A typical service includes:
- Lubricating the rail and drive system
- Testing the motor and batteries
- Checking safety sensors and emergency stop
- Inspecting the seat swivel, footplate, and controls
Most manufacturers recommend an annual service, or every 6 months for frequent use.
The rail must be custom-made, so the full process takes a few weeks, but the on-site installation is usually completed in 4–6 hours.
Timeframes:
- Rail survey and manufacture: 2–4 weeks
- Installation at home: 4–6 hours
- Ready to use the same day after testing and demonstration
Yes. Curved stairlifts are tested to meet strict safety standards and include built-in protections such as:
- Seatbelt and swivel seat for safe transfer
- Obstacle sensors to stop the lift if blocked
- Emergency stop button
- Battery backup to operate during a power cut
Almost certainly. Curved stairlifts are custom-built to match the exact shape of your staircase, whether it has:
- One or more bends
- A half-landing or intermediate landings
- A spiral or sweeping curve
Because the rail is made to measure, curved stairlifts can be adapted to most staircase layouts.
The main difference is the rail.
| Feature | Straight stairlift | Curved stairlift |
|---|---|---|
| Rail | Single, straight track | Custom-made rail for bends, turns, spirals |
| Cost | Lower, standardised | Higher, bespoke manufacture |
| Installation time | 2–4 hours | 4–6 hours (after 2–4 weeks rail build) |
| Flexibility | Only fits straight staircases | Fits almost any staircase layout |
Both types offer the same core safety and comfort features.
