Platinum Ultimate Curved Stairlift

Facing Your Fears

Now, here's something truly unique - the Platinum Ultimate offers a forward-facing travel option. That means you can ride up or down the stairs facing forwards, unlike the majority of stairlifts which take you up the stairs side-on. Whilst sideways travel is still an option, this feature is a game-changer for those who feel a bit nervous about stairlifts. You can see where you're going, which can make the whole experience feel more natural and secure. It's like walking up the stairs, without the pain and effort!

The 'First Step Start' - A Small Change with Big Impact

One of the coolest features of the Platinum Ultimate is what they call the 'First Step Start.' In plain English, this means the stairlift can start right on the first step of your stairs, not on the floor. Why does this matter? Well, it's all about keeping your space clear.

 

With traditional stairlifts, you often end up with a rail sticking out into your hallway, which can be a tripping hazard or just plain ugly. The First Step Start eliminates this problem entirely. Your hallway stays clear, your doors remain unobstructed, and you get to keep your floor space. It's a win-win-win situation!

Tailor-Made for You

The Platinum Ultimate isn't a one-size-fits-all solution - it's more like a tailor-made suit for your stairs. Every unit is hand-crafted to your specific needs and the unique layout of your home. You get to choose everything from the upholstery colour to the operating functions. Want the controls on the left arm instead of the right? No problem. Need a higher weight capacity? They've got you covered with options up to 25 stone (that's 160kg for those keeping score). If you're more than 25 stone, perhaps the Bruno Elite Curved is the option for you.

Safety First, Second, and Always

When it comes to mobility aids, safety isn't just a feature - it's a necessity. The Platinum Ultimate takes this seriously, with safety edges to prevent trapping, an over-speed governor, and a retractable seat belt. Like all stairlifts, it's battery-powered, so you won't be stranded halfway up the stairs during a power cut.
