Looking for the best stairlift for narrow stairs? Many of the staircases in the UK are narrow and there’s always a workaround for this particular problem. Many stairlifts can accommodate a narrow staircase, but here at UK Stairlifts we think we have found the best stairlift for narrow stairs – the Flow X stairlift from Thyssen.
The Flow X can navigate a staircase as narrow as 61cm in width and folds down to only 34cm in width when not in use.
It’s patented technology allows it to glide effortlessly and silently up and down the narrowest of staircases. It pivots and turns seamlessly and allows the user to face down the staircase – allow greater use of a narrow space.
Best Stairlift For Narrow Stairs – On A Budget
On a budget? That’s not a problem. The Thyssen Flow X is the newest version of the Flow range. It has patented ASL (Auto Swivel and Levelling) technology, allowing smooth ride around narrow stairs. We also recommend the Flow 2 from Thyssen which has the same technology. Choose a Flow 2 stairlift and get the same tech but with reconditioned stairlift prices.
So if you have a narrow staircase, but don’t want to splash out on a brand new stairlift, take a look at the Flow 2 stairlift. Here’s a recent stairlift installation we did with a Thyssen Flow 2 stairlift.
Best Stairlift For Narrow Stairs
Most stairlifts face outwards on a staircase which dramatically reduces the ability to navigate narrow or awkward staircases.
The limitation of an outward facing stairlift is the length of your femur bone – from the hip to the knees. The femur bone is the longest bone in the human body! Even with a stairlift placed tight up against the wall, this distance is often too long to accommodate a lift with a narrow staircase.
The Flow series of stairlifts from Thyssen gets around this problem by facing the user down the staircase. The patented technology also allows the chair to tilt, pivot and turn in one smooth motion simultaneously. This helps it get around tight corners and hand rails.
Here you can see a Flow 2 model of stairlift being programmed to move around the newel post. It is this technology and the downward facing ability of the Flow series stairlifts which allow it to navigate even the trickiest of staircases.
