The stairlift
A single-tube rail, mounted to the steps rather than the wall. It is the narrowest curved rail on the market, which is exactly why it works in homes where the staircase was never designed to share space.
Every rail is measured, manufactured and finished for one staircase only— yours.
Modul-Air Smart
The slimmest curved rail available, so there is still room to walk up beside it.
Fitted to whichever side keeps your doorways, windows and landings clear.
Seat, footrest and armrests fold away. An optional hinged rail clears the bottom step entirely.
Battery driven and charging at every stop, so the stairlift still takes you down if the power goes.
Soft start and stop with optional powered swivel seat that turns you safely onto the landing.
Choose from a range of upholstery and rail colours to complement your home and personal style.
WHO CAN BENEFIT
Most people call us about someone they love. If any of these sound familiar, a stairlift is worth a conversation.
The staircase is usually the first part of the home to feel unsafe. A stairlift removes that daily risk without anyone having to move house.
Arthritis, hip and knee conditions turn every step into a decision. The stairlift takes the load off the joints entirely.
For anyone using walking aids (walking stick, frame or a wheelchair, etc), the upper floor stays accessible.
Fitted before a fall happens rather than after one. Fall prevention is one of the most common reasons why our customers choose us.
Pricing
Every staircase is different, so each quotation is personalised. Several factors can affect the cost of your stairlift, and we’ll assess these during your free home assessment before providing a quotation.
Layout
The shape of your staircase. Straight staircases are generally simpler, while bends, landings and turns may require a more customised rail.
Turns
Changes in direction. Each turn adds rail length, tooling and installation time.
Options
Customisation. Additional options and upholstery choices can affect the overall cost.
Site
Your home environment. Staircase width, access, landings and other site conditions may affect the installation requirements.
We assess your staircase and requirements before providing a personalised quotation.

From our customers
Anita Ang
We were looking for a chairlift for my mother-in-law after her operation 3 years ago, we found Upstairs Solution while browsing online, they were the most reasonable in terms of cost.
My mother-in-law is very happy with the chairlift and we are very satisfied with their professional service. We highly recommend them.

Common questions
Still unsure about something? Send a photo of your staircase on WhatsApp and we’ll answer directly.
Price depends on whether the rail is straight or curved, how many turns it makes and the options you choose. A straight rail is the most affordable; a curved rail is manufactured for one staircase only, so it is quoted after we measure. Our indicative starting prices are published on the pricing page.
Usually, yes. The Otolift Modul-Air Smart uses a single-tube rail mounted to the steps rather than the wall, which is the narrowest curved rail on the market. We confirm the exact clearance at the free home visit before anything is ordered.
Yes. Because the rail fixes to the steps and not to the wall, most HDB maisonettes and terrace homes are straightforward. We check the step profile and landing on site and tell you plainly if your staircase is not suitable.
Most straight staircases are installed in a single day. A curved rail is manufactured to your measurements first, so there is a lead time before fitting, and the installation itself usually takes a little longer.
The lift is battery driven and charges at every stop, so it keeps working in a power cut and will still take you down. Batteries are the one part that wears out on schedule, and we replace them as part of servicing.
Yes. We handle annual servicing, safety inspections, breakdown callouts and battery replacement with our own team. Common spare parts are held locally, so most faults are fixed on the first visit.
