The UK Stair Lift Site

The Stair Lift Site has been set up to help those who are considering having a stair lift installed for themselves, or for a relative, make an informed choice by understanding what options are availble when requiring a stairlift. Stair Lifts can be purchased new or used (reconditioned stairlift), or can be rented.

The most common types of Stair Lifts are the straight stairlift and the curved stair lift. The words straight and curved are a slight giveaway as to which stairlift is which. Because of the complexities of a curved staircase, the curved stair lifts can be much more expensive than straight stairlifts.

The costs of a stairlift can, and do, vary considerably and so as with any other larger purchase, it is best to shop around and compare stairlift prices. When comparing stairlift prices, be to sure to look at quality as well as price. The cheapest stairlift may not be the best stair lift, check out the warranty and guarantee being offered by the stairlift supplier.

The UK Stair Lift market is extremely competitive, with the 2 market leaders being Acorn Stair Lifts, based in Steeton near Keighley in West Yorkshire, and Stannah Stairlifts located in Andover, Hampshire. Both these Stair Lift companies sell their stairlifts globally and have according to their own web sites, sold over 600,000 stair lifts around the world.

Besides the UK stairlift market, both Acorn and Stannah stair lifts have offices in the US, Canada and Australia to name a few.

Stannah Stair Lifts last month celebrated the incredible milestone of now having produced and supplied over 1/2 a million stairlifts worldwide, a real boost to UK manufacturing in these challenging economic times.
