Why choose our Stairlifts
Will one fit narrow or steep stairs?
Narrow stairs
The measurement that decides it is the clear width at the tightest point of the flight, not the width where you are standing at the bottom.
Steep stairs
Steepness is rarely what stops a lift going in. The rail follows the pitch of your staircase while the seat stays level the whole way, so you travel upright however sharp the climb is.
Tight at the top or bottom
The usual sticking point is not the stairs themselves but what sits at either end — a door that opens across the foot of the flight, a radiator, or a narrow landing.
Straight stairs
Handicare 1100
Built around the slimmest rail on the market, which is exactly why it goes where other lifts will not. If your staircase is narrow, this is the one to ask about first.
- Slimmest rail in the market — ideal where space is tight
- Grease-free rails — nothing to mark the carpet or the wall
- Powered swivel seat and folding footrest available
- Heavier user? The Handicare 1000 range takes up to 200kg / 31 stone
Curved stairs
Handicare Freecurve
A single-rail curved system, with the rail made to the precise requirement of your staircase. One rail rather than two means a slimmer installation and a smoother ride.
- Rail made to fit the precise requirement of your staircase
- Single rail gives a smooth ride and a slimmer footprint
- Powered swivel seat and footplate available
- Twin-rail 4000 system also available for tighter turns
Outdoor steps
Handicare Outdoor
Outdoor versions of two tried and tested systems — the 1000 for straight external steps, the 4000 for ones that turn. For front paths, side returns and garden flights.
- Weather-resistant and UV-protected throughout
- Straight and curved external staircases both covered
- Can be fitted with a protective cover
- Surveyed and quoted free, like everything else
Reconditioned
Reconditioned Handicare straight
Where reconditioned stock sits, because a straight rail can be cut down for the next staircase. The cheapest route into a Handicare when one becomes available.
- Batteries and charging contacts replaced
- Sensors and safety circuit tested
- Upholstery and trim renewed
- Rail cut to your staircase, then fitted
Rarely available
Reconditioned Handicare curved
Hard to come by, and worth knowing why. A curved rail is made to one particular staircase and cannot be re-formed for another, so curved stock is scarce everywhere.
- Only where the rail genuinely suits your stairs
- We will tell you when new is the honest answer
- Ask — stock changes week to week
Trade-in
Your old lift taken away
Replacing rather than fitting for the first time? Removal of the old lift is inside the quoted price rather than added at the end.
- Removal included in the written quote
- Sound straight lifts go on to be reconditioned
- Tread holes made good on removal
Common fault
Stopping against nothing
Handicare lifts carry sensors, seatbelt detection and an emergency stop. When a sensor gets dirty or knocked out of line it halts the lift on clear stairs — common, and easily sorted.
Common fault
Dying partway up
If yours only runs when parked, or fades along the rail, that is the battery system or the charging contacts rather than the motor — and it is usually a quick fix.
Common fault
Noise or rough running
Handicare rails run grease-free, so a lift that has started grinding or juddering is telling you something. Better looked at before it stops altogether.

Most common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Handicare stairlifts are designed for regular household use and incorporate practical safety features, comfortable seating and dependable rail systems. Their range includes straight, curved and outdoor models. As with any stairlift, regular servicing and appropriate maintenance are important for continued reliability.
The cost of a Handicare stairlift depends on the model selected, staircase configuration and additional features required. Straight stairlifts are generally more affordable than curved systems, which require a specially manufactured rail. Zengo Mobility can help you explore suitable models and obtain a personalised quotation.
Yes. Handicare offers curved stairlift systems, including the Handicare 2000 and Freecurve. These models are designed to accommodate staircases with bends, corners and intermediate landings. The rail is manufactured to follow the individual staircase layout.
The Handicare 1100 features an exceptionally slim, grease-free rail system designed to minimise obstruction on straight staircases. The Handicare 1000 is a more established model offering a versatile selection of seating configurations and higher weight-capacity options. Both provide practical solutions for straight staircases.
Yes, certain Handicare models are particularly suitable for narrower staircases. The Handicare 1100 features a slimline rail, while some curved models can be tailored to complex layouts. However, a professional survey is required to confirm that there is sufficient space for safe installation and use.
Handicare stairlifts use rechargeable batteries, allowing them to continue operating for a limited number of journeys when the mains electricity supply is interrupted. The number of available journeys depends on the model, battery condition, staircase length and other operating factors.
Straight Handicare stairlifts can often be installed within a few hours once the equipment is available. Curved models require a customised rail and may take longer to install. The overall timescale depends on the staircase layout, model availability and installation requirements.
Reconditioned Handicare stairlifts may be available depending on the model, condition and current stock. A professionally refurbished stairlift can offer a more affordable alternative to purchasing a new system. Zengo Mobility can discuss suitable reconditioned options and their availability.
Handicare recommends having stairlifts serviced at least once a year by an appropriately qualified engineer. Regular maintenance helps assess battery performance, inspect mechanical components, check safety features and identify potential faults before they become more serious.
Zengo Mobility can assist with enquiries regarding Handicare stairlift repairs and maintenance throughout London. Depending on the model, fault and availability of compatible parts, potential repairs may include battery replacement, safety sensor checks, electrical fault diagnosis and general servicing.
