Which stairlift fits your stairs?
Start with the route the chair needs to travel. One uninterrupted flight, stairs that turn, and exterior steps need different equipment. The staircase and the person using the lift both matter when choosing a model.
Straight Stairlifts
A straight stairlift follows one continuous flight without bends or turns. A landing at the top or bottom does not automatically mean you need a curved lift. Rail length, walking space and room to get on and off still need checking.
Curved Stairlifts
A curved stairlift follows stairs with bends, turns or intermediate landings. Its rail is configured or made for the staircase, including the stopping and parking positions. A rail from another home is not automatically suitable for yours.
Outdoor Stairlifts
Exterior steps need a stairlift designed for outdoor use. The assessment considers the stair layout, weather exposure, drainage and charging location to identify suitable equipment and placement.
What needs to fit besides the rail?
Stair width alone cannot confirm whether a lift will work for you. We also consider:
- Walking and seated clearance: space for other people on the stairs and for the rider’s knees and feet along the route.
- Landings and nearby doors: room to approach the chair, turn and get off, and where the rail and chair will park.
- Seat and controls: seat size, footrest position, capacity requirements and whether the user can reach and operate the controls.
- Folding and parking: folding the seat and footrest reduces space occupied when the lift is parked; a compatible folding or sliding rail may help keep a nearby doorway clear.
Getting on and off: a swivel seat turns toward the landing. Powered swivel or footrest options may reduce the manual effort needed, depending on the model and the user’s needs.
Features vary by model and configuration. A battery-powered lift can keep operating during a power outage while sufficient charge remains; the number of trips depends on the model, batteries and staircase. We explain the charging arrangements for the selected lift.
You do not need to take technical measurements before contacting us.
Choose a new, pre-owned or rental stairlift
The best starting point is how long you expect to use the lift, the features you need and the complete cost for your staircase.
New stairlifts
Pre-owned stairlifts
Stairlift rentals
New stairlifts
A new stairlift may suit ongoing use or a particular seat, control or rail configuration. Compare the available models and useful options against the complete installed price. The suitable configuration and supply schedule depend on your staircase and the selected equipment.
How much does a stairlift cost?
For purchase planning, our price guide gives these broad installed ranges:
- Straight stairlifts
- CAD $2,000–$5,000+ Installed
- Curved stairlifts
- CAD $10,000–$15,000+ Installed
These ranges cover different models and conditions, not every new model or configuration. The rail length and turns, new or pre-owned equipment, selected features and installation requirements affect the quote. Outdoor lifts and rentals need their own assessment and pricing.
Use the ranges for planning and ask us to confirm the equipment, installation, selected options and applicable taxes in your quote.

Tell us about the staircase
Call or use the assessment form. Tell us your city or postal code, whether the stairs are indoors or outdoors, and whether they run straight or include turns or intermediate landings. Mention nearby doors, the expected length of use and any seating or control concerns.
Complete the in-home assessment
A Stairlift Store specialist measures the staircase and discusses how the lift will be used. We check the route, landing space and user requirements before explaining suitable equipment and buying or rental options.
Review the recommendation and quote
Compare the recommended lift, rail, useful options and installed price. We explain the applicable warranty and service arrangements, and confirm availability and expected scheduling before you decide.
Schedule installation and demonstration
Once the equipment and appointment are confirmed, we install and test the stairlift, then demonstrate its operation. This includes the controls, getting on and off, folding functions and charging arrangements for your model.
Stairlift warranty and ongoing support
Our warranty for new and pre-owned stairlifts includes lifetime coverage on the motor, gearbox and rail. We also provide free service calls during the first year from the installation date.
The lifetime component warranty and first-year service-call offer have separate scopes. Ask us to explain any parts or labour charges outside the stated coverage and the terms for your selected lift. Rental service arrangements are confirmed with the rental quote.
If you need help after installation, call (905) 690-7368 with the model and a description of the issue so we can discuss the next step.

Thank you Mark for responding to our phone calls so quickly & locating a stairlift chair for us to rent within a day to assist our family. You were very professional as was Adam who did the installation. Only took approximately 30 minutes for installation & instructions given were very clear. We were told if we had any further questions or concerns to contact them immediately. Very good service indeed! Would recommend thestairliftstore.ca in a heartbeat!

We cannot say enough about Mark and his service. He installed a curved stairlift at my mother-in-law’s 18 months ago, which has allowed her to stay in her home. On a few occasions, we’ve had to service the equipment and he has been so prompt to come himself or send Adam, and the issue is always resolved. We would definitely recommend this company as the personalised touch is appreciated.

Recently my father had a stroke while down in florida, and was getting ready to come home for treatment, however it was decided he was going to need a lift. I called Mark at The Stair lift store, explained the situation and 3 days later we had a new lift installed. It was a pleasure dealing with someone who actually picked up the phone, and i was able to actually get information directly on the phone from him at the time. Adam on the install was courteous and professional. I would absoultly recommend these guys should you need a lift or service
