Brooks Sit / Stand Stairlift
Our Take
The Brooks Sit / Stand stairlift gives you the choice of riding seated or standing. It fits straight staircases and carries users up to 127 kg (20 stone). Moreover, a very slim 210 mm folded width keeps narrow stairs clear.
Benefits
Flexibility
Sit when you want comfort, or stand when your mobility allows. As a result, the same lift adapts to how you feel each day.
Compact Design
The slim frame folds away neatly. Because of that, it frees up room on the stairs when not in use.
Accessibility
Standing helps anyone who finds bending their knees painful. Therefore, it suits people with joint or hip trouble.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they keep every ride secure.
Considerations
The sit / stand design does not suit everyone. However, anyone with balance issues may find standing harder to manage.
The standing position can also feel less comfortable on a longer ride. As a result, many users still sit for the full journey.
Specialist designs like this also cost more than a standard seated model.
A little training may help too, so you feel safe using both positions from the start.
Other Models to Consider
For a stand-style lift like the Brooks Sit / Stand, a couple of comparable options are worth a look. The Companion 950 Straight is a standard straight lift and the Bruno Elan Straight is another standard straight option, while the Stannah 320 Outdoor Straight is a weatherproof outdoor lift.

Manufacturer
From it’s emergence in the early 1970’s, Brooks Stairlifts has steadily gained recognition as a reputable player in the mobility industry. Over the years, their dedication to crafting reliable, safe, and user-friendly Stairlifts has led to the development of an extensive product lineup catering to both straight and curved staircases. An important chapter in their history was the acquisition by ACORN, a leading name in the stairlift industry known for their innovative approach and commitment to customer satisfaction. This acquisition marked a significant milestone, allowing Brooks Stairlifts to leverage ACORN’s expertise and resources to further advance their product offerings and accessibility solutions. These days Acorn and Brooks Stairlifts are largely the same product. Acorn sell directly to the public as Acorn and through their dealer network as Brooks.
