What are Stair Lifts?
Stair lifts (or chair lifts for stairs) are battery-operated motorized chairs designed to transport individuals with limited mobility up and down staircases safely and comfortably. Built specifically for people facing mobility challenges, these electric stair lifts provide a convenient solution that allows the elderly, disabled (handicap), or those with temporary injuries to navigate stairs independently within their homes.
Attached to a track found on the staircase and utilizing a rack-pinion drive system, stair lifts ensure a smooth journey by gliding along the track, eliminating the need for manual assistance or strenuous efforts.

FAQs
- Do stair lifts need electricity?
Yes, stair lifts are electric-powered. They typically run on a battery system that recharges automatically when parked at the top or bottom of the stairs. This ensures a smooth and reliable ride whenever you need it.
- Is it expensive to run a stair lift?
The stair lift cost in Singapore is relatively affordable, thanks to their energy-efficient, low-power battery systems that consume electricity only when operating, with automatic recharging cycles for minimal energy impact.
- Can My Home Support A Residential Stair Lift?
Installation of a residential stair lift is not an issue for most homes. For starters, your staircase has likely bared the load of having large pieces of furniture such as beds or dresses being carried up or down it. The stress and pressure placed upon the stairs by the chair lift is in fact less than that of such furniture.
Another cause of concern that many homeowners have is whether their walls would be damaged by the installation and subsequent operation of the system. Since the track is installed directly onto the stairs, and not the walls, any force generated against the walls will be not be sufficient to cause it harm.
A professional installer should be hired for the installation of the chair lift for stairs at home. Proper measurements need to be taken to ensure that no part of the stairs or walls will be damaged during the operation of the stair lift, and more importantly that the user is kept safe.
- How Does A Residential Stair Lift Work?
The residential chair lift transports its user by travelling along a railing that has been attached to the staircase with mounts on every few steps. Depending on the steepness of the stairs, more mounts may need to be installed in order to provide adequate support.
Since it is a motorised system, the residential stair lift will require electricity from a standard wall outlet that has to be within 6 feet of the top or bottom of the flight of stairs.
- Is It Safe To Be On The Stair Lift?
Yes, our products have been designed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our users. Features such as user friendly swivel levers coupled with quality materials used in production, ensure that users are kept from harm when using our stair lifts.
- Can My Home Stair Lift Be Removed?

- What If My Stairs Have Many Curves?
Installation of the stair lift can be done on curved staircases. In fact, stair lifts are designed to work on most staircases in Singapore. Chair lift companies offer options for both straight and curved staircases, so even if your stairs have a turn, there’s likely a stair lift solution available.
Specific models have been designed to fit stairs with curves and turns. A professional installer will be needed to measure and design the rails to fit your staircase specifically.
