Choosing a Stairlift to suit your home

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 the diagram below - straight stairlifts cannot travel around any bend or corner.

Minivator offers you a range of straight stairlifts so one is sure to meet your needs: to find out more about our straight stairlifts have a look at the Simplicity Series and the Minivator 1000 by clicking on the links to the right or the words in blue.

Curved Stairlifts

Curved stairlifts have tracks that are specifically designed to suit staircases that turn corners or are spiral: the staircases shown in the diagrams below are examples of the type of staircase that curved stairlifts can be used on, but there are many more.

All Minivator curved tracks are made to order following a survey of each individual staircase.

Minivator's curved stairlift system is called the Minivator 2000 - you can find out more about it by clicking on the Minivator 2000 link to the right or the words in blue.
