Standing Stairlifts
We know a traditional seated stairlift is not right for everyone. If your stairs are narrow or you feel safer standing, a standing stairlift can be a better fit for you. It supports you as you stand and helps you move around your home without taking up much space.
You can stay upright, you feel secure and you keep more room on the stairs for others to walk past.
Standing stairlifts are designed to use as little space as possible. This suits narrow or steep staircases where a seated stairlift may feel too large.
If you find it easier to stay on your feet, a standing stairlift lets you keep that natural posture as you travel between floors. You do not have to lower yourself into a chair or stand back up again at the top.
Our standing stairlifts focus on safety as well as convenience. Key safety features often include:
- Supportive handrails
- Non slip footplates
- A secure harness or belt
- Smooth start and stop controls
So you can feel stable from the moment you step on to the lift until you reach the top or bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
