What is a Stairlift?
A stairlift (sometimes called "stairlift" or "chairlift") is a piece of accessibility equipment, consisting of a chair that carries you safely up and down stairs, along a straight or curved rail that is secured to your stair treads. Stairlifts prevent falls, eliminating your stairs as a barrier and allowing you to enjoy the full use of your home.
A Stannah stairlift can help you take control of your stairs, giving your family members peace of mind and giving you a greater sense of independence in the home you love.
Our Stairlift Features

Armrest Controls
The easy-to-use hand control operates the stairlift with the gentle push of a button. The ergonomic design is ideal for those with arthritis or limited dexterity.

Safety Edges
Safety edges bring the stairlift to a gentle, but immediate stop, should you run into any obstructions on your staircase.

Curved Stairlifts
Curved stairlifts hug the bends and turns of your staircase. Whether your stairs take a hard 90 degree turn or have a spiral shape, a curved stairlift can accommodate your needs.

Manual Swivel
When you reach the top of the stairs, the stairlift swivels to face the top landing and block the staircase below. You can use either the manual swivel levers or the powered swivel option.

Seatbelts
There are a variety of seatbelt options for stairlifts, but the best one was designed specifically for those with limited dexterity and flexibility. It’s easy to operate and mounted to the armrest.

Folding
Our stairlifts fold easily and fit neatly against the wall, making it easier for others to climb the stairs. The footrest folds with a button, so you don't need to bend over to flip it up—this makes getting in and out of the chair safe and secure.

Chairlift vs Stairlift: What's the Difference?
Stairlifts, chair lifts, and lift chairs are all mobility aids, but they serve different needs and often get confused.
• A stairlift is a motorized chair that travels along a staircase rail, helping individuals safely move up and down stairs. It is ideal for those with mobility challenges.
• Chair lifts are motorized platforms designed to hold a wheelchair or walking aid, enabling wheelchair users to access multiple levels.
• Lift chairs are stationary recliners that fold forward to help users transition from sitting to standing, offering valuable support on a single floor.
How much does a stairlift cost?
Stairlift pricing depends on the length and shape of your stairs, as well as the options you need. Exact pricing requires a home survey, but you can learn more about our guidelines on our stairlift pricing guide. Prices include expert advice, measuring and installation costs, and stairlift warranties.
Does Medicaid or Medicare cover stairlifts?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover the cost of stairlifts. However, there are other programs you can utilize to get help with your stairlift purchase. Discover your stairlift funding options today.
Are stairlifts tax deductible?
The purchase of a stairlift may be tax deductible, depending on your situation. You can learn more about stairlifts and taxes by speaking to your accountant or reading more about stairlifts and tax deductions on our resource blog.
Can I rent a stairlift?
