Flow X Stair Lift
A slim, single rail stair lift made for narrow, straight and curved staircases. Smooth, comfortable and safe, so you can keep enjoying every level of your home.
A stair lift for narrow and curved staircases
The Flow X suits both straight and curved staircases, including tight stairways where many stair lifts simply won't fit. Its rail is fitted to your stairs rather than your wall, so installation is quick and tidy with minimal disruption to your home.
With Advanced Swivel and Levelling (ASL) technology, the seat can rotate while it travels. This lets the Flow X fit staircases as narrow as 610 mm, making it one of the most versatile stair lifts available.
- Fits straight and curved staircases
- Fitted to the stairs, not the wall
- Single slim rail on either side of the stairs
Designed around you
Every detail of the Flow X is focused on comfort, confidence and ease of use.
Single Rail Design
One discreet rail sits close to the steps and can be fitted on either side of the staircase, even where stairs are narrow and steep. Your stairs stay clear and easy to use for the rest of the family.
Foldable Joystick
A soft-touch joystick gives you easy control and folds neatly into the armrest when not in use.
Smart Seatbelt
A one-handed seatbelt with built-in detection checks you are properly secured before each journey begins.
Call Device
Add the optional call device to stay connected with family and friends. It can call up to three different phone numbers directly from your stair lift, so help is only a button press away.
Light the way to a safer ride
Light Assist improves visibility and confidence, especially at night or in low light. It is designed to bring safety, elegance and peace of mind to every journey.
Motion Sensing
As you approach, a soft light turns on to light up the seat, footrest and surrounding area, guiding you safely into position.
Armrest Glow
Discreet armrest lighting gives a gentle glow throughout your ride, with adjustable brightness to suit your home.
Seatbelt Cues
Clear colour signals show your seatbelt status at a glance.
Set up to suit you
The Flow X is adjusted to your needs during installation, so getting on and off feels natural and every ride is comfortable. Its tapered armrests give you extra support when sitting down and standing up, and the open-access armrest position makes transferring onto the seat easier than ever.
- Seat height adjustable to 4 positions (515 to 585 mm)
- Footrest in 2 sizes, adjustable to 5 positions
- Wrap-around armrests for a secure, supported ride
- Smooth rack and pinion drive at 0.1 m/s
