Stair Lifts

Are stairs in your home becoming an obstacle for you or a loved one? If you’re looking for a simple solution to remain in your home longer, a stair lift may be the right choice and a sound investment.

Stair lifts, also referred to as chair lifts or stair climbers, are designed to move people up and down the stairs effortlessly. Residential stair lifts are incredibly reliable and most people find them very easy to use. We are proud to distribute and install a wide variety of premium indoor and outdoor stair lifts. Each of our models has been designed to the highest standards of comfort and safety. 

Stair lifts are suitable for

• Those with reduced mobility
• Those who use walking frames or aids
• Elderly persons
• Carry capacity up to 181kg

Installation options for most staircase designs

Our stair lifts come in a variety of designs and models. The best one for you will depend on the configuration of your stairs and whether the stair lift will be installed inside or outside. Our stair lifts work in both straight staircases and more challenging situations, such as curved or narrow staircases and stairs with landings. They’re also great for navigating garden steps, decks and porches.

Stair lifts are fitted directly onto the stairs and do not need to be installed against a load bearing wall, which allows for simple installation with no alteration to your home. They are powered through a standard electric connection to a 3-pin plug located close to the lift.

We offer very short lead times to allow for the quick installation of your stair lift with experienced Vestner contractors throughout the country.

• Smooth start/stop action – no sudden jolting or lurching
