What are Straight stairlift?
Straight stairlifts are motorized chairs that carry you up and down a straight staircase. They run on a single, continuous rail fitted to your stairs — with no need for major renovations or structural changes. Ideal for staircases without turns or landings, straight stairlifts offer a simple, space-saving home-access solution. Stannah straight stairlift rails are cut to match the length of the staircase, with several models to choose from, uniquely superior standard features, and customizable options.
Straight stairlift safety features: Designed with safety as a priority
Every Stannah stairlift is designed with safety at its core. From the moment you sit down, you’re protected by an easy-to-fasten seatbelt and surrounded by built-in safety features. Sensors automatically stop the lift if there’s an obstacle on the stairs, while a smooth start-and-stop mechanism prevents any sudden movements. A powered swivel seat simplifies getting on and off, and the battery backup ensures your stairlift keeps running even during a power outage. With every detail engineered for comfort and confidence, you can count on a smooth, steady ride — every time you use it.
Optional powered swivel seat
The Stannah power swivel stairlift add-on, simplifies getting in and out of your stairlift. This automatic swiveling feature faces you towards the landing at either the beginning or end of your stair journey. Once at the top, the stairlift seat sits between you and your stairs; a practical design feature.

Stannah straight stair lift benefits
We’ve been manufacturing stairlifts for 50 years. That’s given us time to perfect our stairlifts to make them the most comfortable and reliable out there. It’s the little things that make all the difference.

Fully customizable to match your needs
The rail fits your stairs, but the chair must fit your needs. Whatever you need for maximum comfort in your home, we adjust the little things that’ll make a big difference to you.
Made to fit your home
Whether you’ve spent years or decades in your home, you’ve made it your own. And you can do the same with your stairlift by choosing the color and upholstery that suits you best.
