Types of Stairlifts
A guide to straight, curved and platform lifts.
The kind of stairlift you need will depend on the shape of your staircase. Typically, stairlifts fall into two categories, straight or curved. Whilst both work and operate in a similar way, curved stairlifts are tailormade and designed specifically to fit your staircase. Other options to consider include a platform or through floor lift for wheelchair users and those working in commercial buildings to allow easier travel through floors.

Curved Stairlifts
Platform Stairlifts
Straight Stairlifts
Straight stairlifts are a compact solution for stairs without bends, curves or turns. They run on straight tracks and can fit almost any straight or narrow staircase. Our collection of stairlifts include slim but strong aluminium rails.
Features:
- Height adjustable, comfortable seats
- Retractable seatbelt for added safety
- Battery powered for use in power-cuts or emergencies

Curved Stairlifts
If your staircase has a bend, curve or turn, you will need to install a bespoke stairlift made to fit the exact layout and curve of your stairs. Curved stairlifts are designed to your exact needs using innovative technology to ensure they fit any staircase and the tightest of spaces.
Curved Stairlift features:
- Height adjustable, comfortable seat
- Retractable seatbelt for added safety

Testimonials
"New stairlift installed today by Scott the young man was polite and very efficient he explained fully how to use new lift I thank all staff at snowdrop Olivia and Suzanne who I spoke to on the phone were very reassuring and helpful "
-Wyn Marshall
"The crutches I have been given are so much more comfortable than the ones provided by the NHS. By having the cushion ferrells I no longer have shoulder or back pain. The moulded soft handles are so much better for my hands as I have OA in them also. I have also been informed that I walk better with them. "
-Maggie West, Haverfordwest
"I have found the sticks to cushion the walk on tarmac, they are comfortable to hold and, because they have straps I can hang them from my wrists to enable me to look at things whilst out shopping. My posture is more even and my shoulders ache less. My step total for last week was improved - 33,219, we were in London and walked a lot - the new sticks definitely helped"
-Cath Morgan, Haverfordwest
"I bought my rollator from Snowdrop years ago and had great service choosing the best model for me, and the product is still doing well around 4 years on. When my electric wheelchair broke (due to a cable getting caught and damaged), the engineer, Ben, came to my home and repaired it within an hour, and the charge was very reasonable. I could not recommend them enough."
