What are the common challenges when installing a bariatric stairlift?

Bariatric stairlifts often require reinforced staircases to support higher weight limits. Common challenges include limited space on narrow stairs, ensuring structural safety, customising wider seats for comfort, and blending the lift with home décor. Professional installers assess these factors to ensure a safe, reliable fit.

Weight capacity and structural support

Bariatric stairlifts are heavier and require solid structural support. Before we start, we carry out a full survey to check that your stairs, floors and walls can take the load.

If any reinforcements are needed, we’ll explain your options clearly. We only fit models that are safe and suitable for your home.

Working with tight spaces and complex stairs

Some staircases are narrow or curved, which can make installation more challenging. Our team uses precise measurements and advanced planning software to design a track that fits your staircase exactly.

We also offer foldable seats and slimmer designs that help save space.

Comfort and ease of use

We understand comfort is important. Our bariatric stairlifts have:

  • Wider, padded seats
  • Adjustable armrests
  • Swivel seats for easier transfers
  • Clear, easy-to-use controls

After installation, we show you how everything works and answer any questions.
