It is vital that your supplier surveys your staircase before your stairlift is supplied.

Before placing an order for a stairlift you should ensure the staircase has been surveyed to make sure it is suitable for the stairlift you have chosen. It is rare that a stairlift cannot be fitted to a staircase but some systems may have limitations that mean they are not suitable for your home.

You do not need to worry about surveying your staircase, your Minivator supplier will do this for you. They will advise you of any adjustments required to fit your stairlift (e.g. move a cupboard) and which is the best side of your staircase to fit your Minivator stairlift.

Most staircase surveys are quick and easy to perform. If your staircase is more complex with intermediate landings, fan stairs or a spiral for example, the survey will be conducted quickly with Minivator's eSurvey system. Minivator curved stairlift tracks are designed to suit your individual staircase so it is important the staircase is measured accurately to ensure your track is the best possible fit for you and your staircase.

Most Minivator dealers use the Minivator eSurvey system for surveying curved staircases. This specially developed electronic system maximises the accuracy of a curved staircase survey whilst minimising the time needed to carry it out.

Cards are placed on and around the stairs and photographed. Our specialist software measures these images to create an accurate 3D model of your staircase so the track is designed to fit your staircase perfectly.
