The Platinum Ultimate is a single-rail curved stairlift designed to fit staircases that other lifts struggle with. Its rail starts on the first step rather than running out across the hallway floor, so nothing sticks out at the bottom of the stairs.
It can be set up to travel forward facing, has a powered footplate, and an optional powered swivel makes getting on and off easier. It carries users up to 19 stone as standard, or 25 stone in the heavy duty version.
Every price is a starting price that includes installation, VAT and a parts and labour warranty (3 years on new, 2 years on reconditioned). Your exact price depends on your staircase and the options you choose, and we confirm it in writing after a free home survey.

There is very little independent owner feedback on the Ultimate. We found one genuine owner review, which reported juddering and noise on the bends. Platinum has since introduced a redesigned speed limiter that it says removes the metal noise on bends. Platinum’s brand page on Trustpilot has only seven reviews across all its models, with a low overall score and complaints about breakdowns and waits for parts.
