Do You Have a Narrow Staircase?
If your staircase is narrow, you may think a stairlift isn’t possible – but with our slimline designs, there are safe and reliable solutions for most homes. The minimum width for stairlifts varies depending on whether your staircase is straight or curved:
- Straight staircase – 600mm (23 inches)
- Curved staircase – 660mm (26 inches)
Our team can carry out a free home assessment to confirm the best stairlift for your narrow staircase.
Key Measurements
To make sure your narrow stair lift fits safely, our engineers take four key measurements:
- Staircase length
- Staircase width
- Bottom clearance (space at the base of the stairs)
- User dimensions (back-to-knee, back-to-toe, and seat-to-head)
Even if your staircase is below the usual width, there are often workarounds such as slimline seats and folding rails.
To ensure your staircase is wide enough for stairlift installation, take a look at our helpful stairlift measurement guide. If you find there’s not enough space for the stairlift you want, reach out to us, and we will assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum width for a stairlift?
Most stairlifts need a staircase width of at least 600mm (straight) or 660mm (curved). Our slimline models are designed to work in even tighter spaces.
Can you put a stairlift on very narrow stairs?
Yes. Narrow stair lift models are built to fold away when not in use, making them ideal for homes with limited space.
How much does a stairlift for narrow stairs cost?
The cost depends on your staircase type and whether you choose a new or reconditioned model. At Halton Stairlifts, we provide free quotes with no obligation. Learn more in our guide to stairlift costs.
Do narrow stairlifts work on curved staircases?
Yes – while more complex, we can install slimline stairlifts for curved staircases with tight turns. Our engineers will design a bespoke track to fit.
