Platinum Ultimate Curved Stairlift
Our Take
The Platinum Ultimate Curved Stairlift was the first lift to offer forward-facing travel, which many people find more natural. It carries up to 120kg (19 stone). Below, we set out the main benefits of the Platinum Ultimate Curved Stairlift, along with a point to weigh up before you buy.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
The Ultimate runs on a made-to-measure rail fixed to your stairs, not the wall. As a result, most homes need no building work before fitting.
Compact Design
The seat, arms and footrest fold away neatly when the lift is parked. Therefore other people can still use the stairs with ease.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The Ultimate runs quietly and glides smoothly around each bend. Consequently the ride stays gentle from the bottom step to the top.
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 forward-facing seat can be set up to suit you, giving a clear view of the stairs ahead. For example, you can choose seat and finish options to match your home.
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
The Platinum Ultimate Curved is one of several curved-rail options — here are a few close alternatives. The Platinum Curve is a close match on size and capacity and the Acorn 180 Curved folds slimmer at 335mm for tighter stairs, while the DeVi Up Curved is a close match on size and capacity.
