Straight Stairlifts
Straight stairlifts are a practical and reliable solution for staircases that run in one continuous line without turns or landings.
Designed with fixed rail sections that are tailored to your staircase length, they can be installed quickly and with minimal disruption to your home.
Once fitted, a straight stairlift provides smooth, secure travel between floors, helping you move around your home comfortably and with confidence.

Yes. The terms “chair lift” and “stairlift” both describe the same device — a motorised chair that runs on a rail to help people with limited mobility move safely between floors.
A chair lift, also called a stairlift, is a motorised device that transports individuals up and down stairs while seated. It works by:
- Track installation – a rail is securely fixed to the stair treads.
- Chair mechanism – a motor moves the chair smoothly along the track.
- User control – operated via a switch on the armrest or remote control.
- Safety systems – seatbelt, swivel seat, and sensors ensure safe travel.
Chair lifts provide independence for individuals who find stairs difficult.
Important factors include:
- Staircase layout – straight or curved.
- Mobility needs – seated or standing models.
- Weight capacity – ensuring safe use.
- Seat design – size, upholstery, and comfort features.
- Additional features – powered swivel seat, folding footplate, or remote controls.
EMS Lifts provides free home surveys to assess needs and recommend suitable options.
The cost of servicing varies depending on the stairlift model and the level of service required. EMS Lifts provides tailored quotes following an assessment.
Service plans may include:
- Annual servicing.
- Priority breakdown response.

This offers predictable costs and peace of mind that your stairlift is kept in safe working order.
Yes. EMS Lifts can safely remove and re-install stairlifts during home renovation or building projects. Professional removal is important to:

Yes. Stairlifts are designed to fold away when not in use. Most models feature:
- Foldable seat, armrests, and footplate to free up stair space.
- Slimline rails fitted close to the wall or stair tread.

Yes. Stairlifts are designed with multiple safety features to protect users. Standard features include:

- Battery backup to ensure use during a power cut.
With proper installation and regular servicing, stairlifts are a safe and reliable mobility solution.
