Compare Savaria and Handicare Stairlift Models
The K2, K2 Plus and Handicare 1100 are designed for straight staircases. Savaria also includes Handicare models in its stairlift range. The differences in seat design, rail, charging and powered options matter when choosing a lift you will use every day.
Model availability changes, and older or pre-owned units may have different features and ratings. We confirm the exact unit and configuration before quoting.
Savaria K2 — A Compact Straight Stairlift
The K2 has folding arms, seat and footrest, with a choice of seat styles. Savaria lists a folded depth of 10¾ inches from the wall with the L seat, or 11¼ inches with the V seat.
Its standard battery charging points are at the ends of the rail; continuous charging is an option. Powered seat swivel and footrest options are also available. During assessment, we check the space needed for the seated rider, seat turning and access at both landings.
Savaria K2 Plus — A Higher-Capacity Straight Option
The K2 Plus combines a reinforced rail with different seat configurations. Savaria specifies up to 400 lb for residential use with the Plus seat. A manual flip-up rail reduces the rated capacity to 300 lb, so the configuration matters when a doorway is close to the stairs.
The Plus seat also offers more room between the armrests. The assessment checks seat fit, required capacity and landing clearance together before recommending a unit.
Handicare 1100 — Covered Rail and Powered Options
The Handicare 1100 is part of Savaria’s range of straight stairlifts. It uses a four-motor friction drive with an enclosed rail and continuous battery charging along the track.
A powered swivel option turns the seat at the top landing, while a powered footrest folds without reaching down. An optional sliding track can help with some doorway layouts. We check which features the available unit includes and whether they suit your home.

Other Straight and Curved Options
The Handicare 1000 is another straight-stairlift model in Savaria’s range. For a staircase with bends or turns, the Handicare Freecurve uses a custom single-tube rail. It serves a different staircase layout from the K2, K2 Plus and 1100.
Explore our straight stairlift options or curved stairlifts to understand the difference. Availability and suitability are confirmed for the specific model and home.
New and Pre-Owned Savaria Stairlifts
We can discuss new and pre-owned Savaria options according to what is available when you enquire. A suitable pre-owned lift may help reduce the purchase cost, but the model name alone does not establish whether it will fit your stairs.
For a used unit, the assessment includes its condition, rail compatibility, charging, controls, seat and available features. Pre-owned stairlifts offered for installation are inspected, tested and prepared for the home. Features and specifications are checked against the individual unit.
See our pre-owned stairlift options for more about availability and preparation. If the need is temporary, you can also ask about stairlift rentals.
Savaria Stairlift Prices and K2 Quotes
A Savaria K2 stairlift price depends on the unit and the installation it needs. Rail length, seat configuration, powered features, doorway clearance and whether the lift is new or pre-owned can all affect the quote.
General straight-stairlift budget across brands: approximately CAD $2,000–$5,000+ installed, as outlined in our stairlift price guide. A price for your Savaria K2, K2 Plus or Handicare 1100 is confirmed after the available unit and installation requirements are assessed.
When comparing quotes, check:
- The exact model, condition and seat configuration.
- The rail length and any folding or sliding rail arrangement.
- Delivery, installation, powered options and any separately priced work.
The warranty and service coverage included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a Savaria stairlift fit narrow stairs?
Some configurations have compact folded profiles, but a folded measurement alone cannot confirm a fit. We also assess the space needed while someone is seated, how the seat turns at the landing and whether doors or other access routes would be obstructed.
Can a Savaria stairlift be installed outdoors?
Only an appropriate outdoor model and configuration should be considered. Some Savaria outdoor packages are intended for moderate climates, so their suitability must be checked against the location and exposure. Our outdoor stairlift assessment considers the stairs, weather exposure and power requirements.
Do Savaria stairlifts work during a power outage?
The K2, K2 Plus and Handicare 1100 operate on rechargeable batteries. A charged battery can provide a limited number of trips during an outage. The number depends on the unit, battery condition and journey. Charging arrangements vary by model and configuration.
How long does installation take?
A straightforward installation can often be completed in a few hours once the unit and rail are ready. Custom curved stairs and more involved fitting requirements can take longer. The installation time and any ordering or preparation time are confirmed for your quote.
What warranty does The Stairlift Store provide?
Our standard coverage for new and pre-owned stairlifts includes a lifetime warranty on the motor, gearbox and rail, plus free service calls during the first year after installation. Your quote confirms the coverage for the recommended unit. See our warranty and support FAQs.
