Manchester Stairlifts
Bariatric Heavy-duty stairlifts
Reinforced rail, wider seat, uprated motor — a bariatric stairlift built for safety and comfort, fitted by our local engineers from £1,995.
- Up to 25 st
- 24–48 hr fit
- 12-mo warranty
- Acorn accredited
Built for higher weight limits
A stairlift that fits you, properly.
If you need a stairlift rated above the standard limit, our heavy-duty range gives you the same smooth, quiet ride with a reinforced rail, uprated motor and a wider, deeper seat. Straight models safely carry users up to 25 stone; curved models up to 18.9 stone.
The rail still bolts to the stair treads — not your wall — so there's no structural work, no plaster damage and nothing visible from the wall side. Our engineers fit across Greater Manchester, and every install includes the same 12-month warranty and 24-hour callout.
