Platinum Stairlifts

A standing stairlift supports you in an upright or semi standing position as you travel along the stairs. Instead of a full chair, it usually has:

• A small perch or rest to lean against
• A footplate
• Handles or rails to hold on to

This set up suits you if you find it hard to sit down or stand up or if you simply prefer to stay standing.

A standing stairlift can work well if:

• You have limited movement in your hips or knees
• You find sitting and standing painful or tiring
• You feel more secure when you stay upright
• Your staircase is too narrow for a standard seated stairlift

It can also help if you share the stairs with others and want to leave more space for them to use.

A seated stairlift supports you in a normal sitting position. A standing stairlift supports you as you stand or lean with a smaller body rest instead of a full seat.

Because of this, a standing stairlift often:

• Uses less space on the stairs
• Leaves more room for other people to pass
• Feels more natural if you prefer to stay on your feet

Both types help you move safely between floors but a standing stairlift gives you a different way to travel that may suit your body better.

Yes. Manufacturers design a standing stairlift with safety in mind from the start. Safety features typically include:

• A secure harness or belt
• A non slip footplate
• Easy to reach controls

And we install the standing stairlift to match your stairs and your needs so you can feel confident each time you use it.
