Our Take
The Handicare 2000 Curved Stairlift is a versatile twin-rail system with one of the tightest track bends available. It fits complex curved staircases and carries users up to 115 kg (18 stone). Moreover, its modular rail adapts to almost any layout.
Benefits
Modular Design
The modular rail is built up to match your exact stairs. As a result, it copes with tight bends and awkward turns.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
Riders often report a smooth, comfortable trip. Therefore, moving up and down the stairs stays pleasant.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you get on and off safely.
Customisation
The Handicare 2000 handles curved staircases with extensive tailoring. Moreover, it suits complex layouts that simpler lifts cannot.
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.
It may not suit extremely narrow or unusually shaped staircases, so a home survey matters.
Its extra moving parts can also mean more frequent maintenance than a straight model.
Other Models to Consider
The Handicare 2000 Curved is one of several curved-rail options — here are a few close alternatives. The Companion Freecurve Curved takes a heavier user, up to 125kg and the Stannah Starla Curved folds slimmer at 339mm for tighter stairs, while the Stannah Siena Curved is a close match on size and capacity. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
