Choose a Curved Stairlift
Stairlift tracks fall into two basic categories: straight and curved; it can be a little confusing to know which type you need for your staircase.
Straight Stairlifts
Straight stairlift tracks can only travel in straight lines. They cannot turn a corner or go around a bend. Straight stairlifts are suitable for use where a stairlift only needs to travel in one straight line; for example from the hall to the landing as shown in diagram A.
Handicare offers a range of straight stairlifts to suit your needs. For more detailed information select the Simplicity Series stairlifts or the Minivator 1000 stairlift.
Curved Stairlifts
Curved stairlifts have tracks that are specially designed to suit staircases that turn corners or are spiral: the staircases shown in diagrams B, C and D are examples of the type of staircase that curved stairlifts can be used on, but there are many more. All Handicare curved tracks are made to order following a survey of each individual staircase. Handicare's curved stairlift system is called the Minivator 2000. It is a versatile system with some of the tightest track bends available; it can accommodate a wide range of staircase configurations and will hug the edge of your staircase. The twin rail system provides a safe and smooth ride and whilst available in two colours as standard, light grey or gun metal, it can actually be supplied in any colour to match your decor.
State of the art survey and manufacturing processes mean that Handicare routinely manufactures bespoke tracks in market leading timescales. Handicare curved stairlifts can travel around corners, across intermediate landings and even up spiral staircases! They are designed for your individual staircase so you know the track will fit snugly while giving you a smooth ride.
