Our Take

The Platinum Horizon Plus Straight Stairlift is the upgraded version of the Horizon, with a higher weight limit and extra comfort features. It carries up to 140kg (22 stone). Below, we set out the main benefits of the Platinum Horizon Plus Straight Stairlift, along with a point to weigh up before you buy.

Benefits

Ease of Installation

The Horizon Plus fixes to your straight staircase, not the wall. As a result, most homes need no building work before fitting.

Compact Design

The seat, arms and footrest all fold away when the lift is parked. Therefore family members can still use the stairs with room to spare.

Smooth and Quiet Operation

The Horizon Plus runs quietly and glides smoothly along the rail. Consequently the ride stays gentle, even for a heavier user.

Safety Features

The chair includes a seatbelt and sensors that stop the lift if it meets an obstruction. In addition, the seat swivels and locks at the top, so you can step off safely.

Customizable Options

The Plus adds extra comfort and convenience over the Standard model. For example, it offers a higher weight limit and upgraded seat options.

Considerations

Check the lift suits the user, taking into account weight capacity and ease of use. Therefore a home assessment is worth booking before you decide.

Other Models to Consider

If the Platinum Horizon Plus Straight suits your straight stairs, these comparable lifts are worth a look. The Companion 1000 Straight has a wider 385mm folded footprint and the Platinum Horizon Straight is rated to 120kg, while the Acorn 130 T700 Straight is a close match on size and capacity. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
