Essential Features for Safe Stair Travel

Designed with everyday comfort and ease of use in mind, the HomeGlide offers simple, reliable stair mobility for your home.

Call Device

Our optional call device ensures you stay connected with friends and family, with up to three different telephone numbers stored and available directly from your stair lift.

Slim Rail

The HomeGlide features a sleek aluminum rail with a clean, low-profile appearance that blends naturally into the home. Mounted directly to the staircase rather than the wall, the system allows for a faster, more efficient installation with minimal impact to your living space.

Seatbelt

A retractable seatbelt helps provide added safety and stability throughout every ride on the HomeGlide stair lift. The built-in safety sensor confirms the belt is properly secured before movement begins, while the one-handed buckle design makes fastening and releasing simple and convenient.

Joy Stick

With a comfortable soft-touch grip, the integrated joystick is user-friendly and requires minimal effort to take you up and down your staircase with ease.

Folding Rail

For staircases with limited space at the bottom landing, an automatic folding rail option helps keep the area clear and accessible. After the lift is used, the lower section of the rail folds up automatically, reducing obstruction and maintaining open walkway space in your home.

Discreet Design

Engineered with modern manufacturing techniques and technology, the HomeGlide stair lift range can be fitted to almost all straight staircases as narrow as 740 mm (29 inches).

Upgrade Your Ride with Added Comfort Features

Take your stair lift experience a step further with enhanced features designed for greater comfort, convenience, and everyday ease. Building on the dependable performance of the standard model, this upgraded option delivers an even smoother and more supportive ride.

Powered Swivel

The HomeGlide Extra package includes an upgraded powered swivel seat for added convenience and ease of use. As you hold the joystick, the chair automatically rotates at the top landing, helping provide a smoother and safer transition when getting on or off the lift.

Powered Linked Footrest

With the HomeGlide Extra package, your HomeGlide comes with a powered linked footrest. This feature makes it almost effortless when unfolding the chair as the footrest is connected to the seat – eliminating the need to bend down and have any unnecessary strain on your body.

Keylock

The HomeGlide Extra and Outdoor packages include a built-in keylock feature to help prevent unintended or unauthorized use of the stair lift. This added security is especially useful in homes with children or in shared and public environments, allowing access to be limited when needed.

Seat Height Adjustment

The HomeGlide Extra package offers four adjustable seat height options to create a more personalized fit for each user. This added flexibility helps improve overall comfort and seating support for a smoother riding experience.
