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

Stairs with a bend or landing? A curved stairlift is built to match. Need extra width or capacity? See heavy-duty lifts.
