How do stairlifts work on narrow staircases?

Generally, staircases are at least 700mm (27.5 inches) wide so that a stairlift can comfortably fit. However, due to its unique design and technology, the Flow X stairlift can accommodate staircases as narrow as 610mm. The stairlift incorporates ASL technology, enabling it to rotate while in motion, meaning the chair fits in smaller areas or navigates obstructions, making it one of the most versatile stairlifts in the world.

What is considered a narrow staircase?

It’s important to know that the minimum width of a stair tread that standard-size stairlifts can fit into is 73cm (29 inches). If the stairs have narrower treads than this, then they are considered to be narrow and may pose a safety risk if a standard stairlift is installed in such a small space. This could lead to users injuring themselves by knocking into the wall or bannister, and other people using the stairs may need more space to walk past the lift without banging into it or tripping.
