Our Take

The Handicare Freecurve Curved Stairlift is a minimalist, single-rail lift for curved staircases. It carries users up to 125 kg (19½ stone) and follows even complex layouts. The dimensions above are for the Alliance and Elegance seats, whose armrests adjust from 435mm to 465mm (17.1 to 18.3 inches). The chair back stands 395mm to 415mm (15.5 to 16.3 inches) above the seat, or 400mm (15.7 inches) on the Classic seat. Moreover, the slim single rail keeps your stairs looking neat.

Benefits

Compact Design

The single-rail design is slim and unobtrusive. As a result, it saves space and leaves the staircase open.

Smooth and Quiet Operation

The lift runs quietly and smoothly around each bend. Therefore, every journey feels calm and steady.

Safety Features

A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you get on and off safely.

Customisation

The Freecurve handles curved and complex staircases with extensive tailoring. As a result, it fits layouts that simpler lifts cannot.

You can also choose from several seat styles and colours, including luxury wood and leather. A perch seat option may be available too.

Considerations

A curved installation is more complex and takes longer than a straight one.

Curved lifts also cost more, because the rail is custom-made for your stairs.

The Freecurve may not suit extremely narrow or unusually shaped staircases, so a home survey is essential.

Its extra moving parts can also mean more frequent maintenance than a straight model.

Other Models to Consider

The Handicare Freecurve Curved is one of several curved-rail options — here are a few close alternatives. The Stannah Sadler Curved takes a heavier user, up to 135kg and the Otolift Two Curved folds slimmer at 370mm for tighter stairs, while the DeVi Up Curved folds slimmer at 370mm for tighter stairs.
