Straight stairlifts
The fast, affordable lift for standard staircases
If your staircase runs in one straight line with no bends or landings, a straight stairlift is the simplest, most cost-effective way to move safely between floors.
Why a straight lift
Simple to fit, gentle to use
Straight rails are cut to length and mounted directly to your stair treads — not the wall — so installation is quick and clean, usually finished in a single visit. When it's not in use, the seat, footrest, and arms fold away to keep your staircase clear for everyone else.
- Often installed within a few days of your assessment
- Soft start and stop for a smooth, jolt-free ride
- Swivel seat locks at the top for safe, easy exit
- Battery-powered — keeps working during power outages
- Folds flush to the rail when not in use
Is a straight stairlift right for you?
It's the ideal choice when:
- Your staircase is a single straight flight
- There are no mid-stair landings or 90° turns
- You want the most budget-friendly option
- You'd like the quickest possible installation
