Yorkshire Stairlifts
If you have limited mobility and are looking for a company to supply and install a stairlift, then we have a range of models you can pick from in Yorkshire. All Age Co stairlifts are provided by the experts at Handicare. Our range includes straight, curved and reconditioned stairlifts. No matter what model you pick, it will improve your independence at home.
Our trusted stairlift engineers will guide you through the various models available and fit the one you choose. We are here to help you select and customise the features that best suit your needs.
Straight Stairlifts in Yorkshire
One of the most common types of staircases is a straight one. Therefore, anyone with this type of staircase will need a straight stairlift installed to help them live independently.
Straight stairlift rails have no curves, corners, or bends and can easily navigate narrow staircases due to their slim build.
If you’re unsure where to start, our friendly team is here to advise you on the most suitable stairlift for your home, including the various features available with each model in our range.
We offer a range of straight stairlift models to choose from.
Age Co 1000
- Neat and compact design
- Manual swivel seat for easy access
- Various upholstery options to suit your style
- Slimline rail with a solid aluminium cover for a sleek look
- Weight capacity of up to 137kg/21.5st. Heavy-duty motor able to carry up to 160kg/25st
Age Co 1100
- The slimmest track on the market
- Easy to clean, grease-free rail
- Powered by Handicare’s patented ‘four-wheel drive’ friction technology incorporating four quiet motors
- Foldable seat, footrest and armrest to save even more space

Our straight stairlift models have features that include cut-out safety sensors, which will stop the stairlift if an obstruction is detected on the rail. They also include batteries so the stairlift will continue to work despite a power cut. These stairlifts also include adjustable seat and footrest heights.
All our models offer a perched seat stairlift option for users looking for leaning support.
Curved Stairlifts in Yorkshire
If you have a spiral staircase or one that changes direction in your home, you will need a curved stairlift. These stairlifts can be tailored to fit your home and specific needs. A stairlift engineer will visit your home for free to take measurements of your staircase and help you choose your preferred model.
We provide a variety of curved stairlifts, and similar to our straight stairlifts, we offer unique perch curved stairlifts. This allows those who find sitting uncomfortable to stand and lean against a supportive, perched seat. Other models in our range include the Age Co 4000 and the Freecurve, which are ideal for narrow, curved staircases.
Age Co 4000
- Double rail system
- Custom-built for your stairs
- Powered options to suit your mobility needs
- Suitable for both spiral staircases and straight stairs with a sub-landing
- Standard weight limit of 125kg/19.5st. Heavy duty motor able to carry up to 160kg/25¼ st
Age Co Freecurve
- Single rail design (less than 8cm in diameter)
- Slim, stylish design ideal for narrow stairs and tight bends
- Powered hinged rail as an optional extra; allows the stairlift rail to be folded out of the way to avoid blocking doorways or access at the bottom of the stairs
- Standard weight limit of 136kg/21.5st
These stairlift models have safety sensors that automatically cut out the stairlift if it encounters an obstruction, power options to ensure continued operation during power cuts (internal batteries for the 4000 and DC power for the Freecurve), and two handheld remote controls, ideal for multiple users.
What happens next?
Once you’ve chosen your stairlift, a Handicare engineer will come to fit it. Installation typically takes around a day. If you have any further questions about what happens after choosing your preferred stairlift, be sure to see our Frequency Asked Questions page, or call one of our advisors, who will be happy to assist you.
Reconditioned Stairlifts in Yorkshire
If a new stairlift is out of your budget, we can help you find a solution. One great option is to buy a reconditioned stairlift, which is a slightly cheaper alternative. A reconditioned stairlift still has to pass the same safety standards, and there are a variety of models from which you can choose.
These stairlifts are unique because only the motor is reconditioned—ensuring the essential driving mechanism operates like new. The motor is thoroughly tested and restored to its original performance. The rest of the components, such as the rail and seat, are not reconditioned but are carefully inspected to ensure they meet our high safety and quality standards. This means you can enjoy a reliable stairlift at a lower cost, with the peace of mind that the key component has been professionally restored.
You can also take advantage of a Low Price Guarantee on Age Co stairlifts, which means we will match any like-for-like stairlift quotation provided in writing by any other reputable company within the UK stairlift market for a new or reconditioned model.
We also offer stairlift rental in Yorkshire, if you need a stairlift for a short period. Please give us a call, and we’ll be able to help you arrange this.
Stairlift Servicing in Yorkshire
After installation, it is recommended that you get your stairlift serviced once a year for new models or every six months for reconditioned stairlifts. Naturally, a stairlift is something that you are likely to use every day, and because it is being used so regularly, it can become worn, which is why you must get it checked by an engineer. To learn more about our stairlift servicing options, please visit our Servicing Page.
Our experienced engineers ensure that your stairlift is safe and functioning correctly. Each of our stairlifts, including reconditioned models, comes with a two-year warranty, offering you peace of mind from the start.
A common question when considering a stairlift is whether it requires servicing immediately, especially for a new unit. The good news is that a new stairlift doesn’t require immediate servicing, as we offer a standard one-year warranty, we go the extra mile with a 2-year warranty on all Age Co stairlifts, which includes one free service.
For added protection beyond the two-year warranty, homeowners can purchase extended warranty for their curved or straight stairlift. Depending on the level of warranty you choose, this can cover various issues, from accidental damage to electrical breakdowns, ensuring your stairlift continues to perform well for years.
Stairlift Maintenance: Keep Your Stairlift in Top Condition
With proper care, a new stairlift can provide years of reliable service without any functionality issues. To ensure your stairlift remains in excellent working condition, here are some key maintenance tips:
- Keep the rails clear of any obstructions to ensure smooth operation.
- Clean the rails regularly with a dry cloth or use a vacuum hose attachment for hard-to-reach areas to prevent dust build-up.
- If you have pets, remove pet hair from the rails to avoid clogs.
- Limit the use of the stairlift and do not let children play on it or tamper with the controls.
- Always follow the maximum weight capacity guidelines to ensure safe operation.
- Schedule regular servicing to maintain safety and functionality.
If you encounter any issues with your stairlift, don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team for advice or to arrange maintenance services.
