How Much Does a StairLift Cost?

 

“How much does a stairlift cost?” The costs of stairlifts vary and are dependent upon many different factors, some of which include; style, make, model, where you purchase the unit from, etc.

There is no (one-size-fits-all) solution when it comes to stairlift equipment, which is why it is essential to understand what type of stairlift you need to gather the most accurate pricing estimates.

Straight Stairlifts Vs. Curved – Understanding the Difference

There are two main types of stairlifts you must decide between first, a straight lift, or a curved one.

Straight stairlifts are the most common. They come with a standardized straight rail, designed to fit most straight staircases and travel in one direction- up or down the track in a straight path.

Curved stairlifts come with a custom railing system designed to safely navigate curves, turns, and intermediate landings when traveling up or down a curved staircase.

NOTE – Straight stairlifts that do not require custom modifications or curved tracks, generally cost less than custom curved stairlifts. Also, both types of chair lifts come with indoor and outdoor options.

Additional Considerations That Affect Costs

Stair climber costs can vary depending on several factors, some of which include:

• how long your staircase is and how long your stair chair will need to travel.
• the width of your stairwell.
• whether or not you require/prefer special features for additional comfort and use.
• the manufacturer/dealer you choose.

How Much Does a Straight Stairlift Cost?

Stairlift costs for a straight staircase typically range between $2,200 – $5,000, depending on whether the unit is pre-owned or brand new.

The final price for a straight stairlift will depend on the dealer you use, the model you’ve selected, and any additional features you’ve chosen, such as a folding rail or power swivel seat.

How Much Does a Curved Stairlift Cost?

If you need a lift for a curved staircase or a (straight staircase with a landing), usually a custom track will have to be made to fit the staircase, which will, of course, cost you more.

Costs for a curved stairlift generally start at around $9,000 – $9,500 and rise from there depending on upgrade options and staircase configuration.

How Much Does an Outdoor Stairlift Cost?

Outdoor stairlifts are great for patio steps, decks, and docks that are difficult or even dangerous to navigate without secure assistance.

Much like indoor lifts, outdoor stair climbers also come with options for straight or curved staircases.

Outdoor stairlifts are specially designed to withstand the natural elements (heat, cold, rain, etc.) and maintain optimal functionality outdoors.

Straight outdoor chair lifts generally cost between $3,000 and $7,000, Whereas curved outdoor chair lifts start around $12,000 and increase from there depending on the length/complexity of the outdoor staircase.
