Our Highest Weight Limit on a Straight Staircase

The Handicare 1000 XXL is the heavy duty version of the Handicare 1000 straight stairlift, rated for users up to 31.5 stone (200 kg). That is the highest weight limit we offer on a straight staircase.

It keeps the slim aluminium rail of the standard 1000, with the gear rack hidden inside the track, and adds the larger Smart XXL seat with extra space between the arms.

What Owners Say

Owner reviews of the XXL itself are rare. Handicare as a brand scores 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot (around 2,000 reviews) and 4.9 out of 5 on Feefo for Handicare working with Age Co, with frequent praise for polite engineers and tidy installation. A minority report faults or slow repair callouts, including one US review of an XXL; aftercare depends on who supplies and services the lift.
