Handicare is a Netherlands-based global manufacturer of mobility solutions, including a diverse range of stairlifts for straight, curved, narrow, and outdoor staircases. Handicare products are known for their slim design, advanced features, and customisation options.

​

Key product models

1. Handicare 1100 (Straight Stairlift)

  • Best for: Straight staircases, especially narrow ones, due to its ultra-slim profile.

  • Unique feature: A patented "grease-free" rail that uses a four-wheel friction drive system instead of a toothed rack, making it clean and low-maintenance.

  • Space-saving: The narrowest straight rail on the market, with foldable seat, armrests, and footrest.

  • Safety: The four-wheel drive technology includes an automatic stop in case of a motor failure.

  • Options: Includes a "Slide Track" option that automatically moves the track away from a doorway at the bottom of the stairs. 

 

2. Handicare 1000 (Straight Stairlift)

  • Best for: A versatile, robust, and reliable straight stairlift.

  • Heavy-duty option: Features XL and XXL versions with weight capacities of up to 200kg (31.5 stone).

  • Outdoor option: A dedicated outdoor model is available, which is weather-resistant and comes with a waterproof cover.

  • Seat options: Multiple seat options include a perch seat for users with limited hip or knee flexibility.

  • Clean design: Like the 1100, its discreet aluminum track minimises intrusion into the living space. 

 

3. Handicare Freecurve (Curved Stairlift)

  • Best for: Challenging or narrow curved staircases.

  • Unique feature: A single-tube, custom-built rail that is both slim and highly adaptable to complex staircase shapes.

  • Customisation: A wide range of upholstery and colour options for the seats and rail.

  • Advanced options: Includes a "Turn-and-go" feature for particularly narrow stairs where the user's knees need to be rotated away from the banister.

  • High-end seats: Comes with a choice of seat styles, including the Elegance, which features extra cushioning, and the Active Seat, which assists users in standing.

. Handicare 2000 (Curved Stairlift)

  • Best for: A traditional and reliable curved stairlift for a variety of layouts.

  • Rail system: Features a twin-tube rail system for enhanced stability and a smooth ride around bends and landings.

  • Customisation: Also features a range of seat styles, upholstery choices, and powered options. 

 

Core features and technology:

All Handicare stairlifts include a range of standard and optional features for safety and comfort. 

  • Continuous charging: All models charge continuously along the track, so the batteries are always ready, regardless of where the lift is parked.

  • Safety sensors: Detect any obstructions on the stairs and automatically stop the lift.

  • Battery backup: Ensures the lift can continue to function during a power cut.

  • Swivel seat: Manual and powered swivel seat options allow for safe and easy entry and exit, especially at the top of the stairs.

  • Remote controls: Two remote controls are included for calling and sending the lift.

  • Savaria One Touch Alert: A two-way communication system on some models for emergency contact. 

 

Reputation and customer service:

Handicare has a strong reputation, particularly in partnership with UK charities.

  • Industry recognition: The company and its partners, like Age Co, have received awards for exceptional customer service.

  • Customer feedback: Reviews on Trustpilot show high satisfaction, praising the professional service, quick installation, and the quality of the products.

  • Installation: Installation is typically handled by trained technicians and can be completed quickly, sometimes the next day for straight models.

  • After-sales service: Standard warranty is usually one year, with extended options available. Handicare also provides maintenance services and emergency repair options. 

 

Cost:

The price of a Handicare stairlift varies by model, customisation, and purchase options.

  • Straight stairlifts: New models generally range from £2,000 to £3,000. Reconditioned straight models start at a lower price point, around £1,500.

  • Curved stairlifts: Prices start from approximately £3,950 for curved models due to the custom-built rail system.

  • Heavy-duty and other options: Specialised models like the Handicare 1000 XXL cost more due to their increased weight capacity.

  • Rentals: Handicare products can also be rented, providing a lower-cost option for temporary needs.

  • No direct buy-back: Handicare does not directly buy back used stairlifts, but some dealers may offer this service, and removal is offered for free with a new purchase.
