Curved stair lift

Tailored access for your complex staircases

Every staircase is different — and that’s where a curved stair lift truly shines. Leaf Home’s Helix Custom and Uplift Modular curved stair lifts are made to match the exact shape of your stairs, from gentle bends to full spirals. Each lift is built for safety, comfort, and a smooth, quiet ride. With professional installation and local support, you get a stair lift custom-built for your home, backed by trusted warranty coverage and years of experience.

Why choose a curved stair lift?

Not every staircase is a straight shot. If yours has a turn, a landing, or a bend, a curved stair lift is made to follow that shape exactly. Each rail is measured and built to match your stairs, so the ride feels smooth the whole way up. With both custom and modular options, there’s a solution for nearly every home. Our installers handle everything — from measuring to fitting — so the lift blends in, works quietly, and keeps you moving more safely.

Key features & benefits

Custom and modular design options

Curved stair lifts are crafted to follow the exact path of your stairs — every bend, landing, and return. Custom rails are hand-measured for a perfect fit, while modular curved stairlifts use pre-bent sections that connect seamlessly. Both designs hug the stairs closely to keep the rail low-profile and out of the way.

Seamless, quiet operation

Each ride starts and stops softly for a steady, comfortable motion. The lift’s motor runs quietly, and the battery keeps the lift moving even during a power outage. Continuous charging along the rail means your lift is always ready to go.

Safety & control

Built-in obstruction sensors stop the lift if anything is in the way. A retractable seatbelt, swivel seat, and simple controls make every ride safer and easier to manage.

Hassle-free curved stair lift installation

Installing a curved stair lift doesn’t require major home modifications. The rail attaches directly to your stairs, not the wall, so there’s no need for drywall repairs or construction. Our team handles everything neatly and keeps the process simple from start to finish.

Step 1: Measure

We begin by looking at your staircase and taking precise measurements. Each curve, landing, and turn is recorded so the rail is shaped to fit your stairs perfectly.

Step 2: Customize

Once the measurements are complete, we help you choose the features that best suit your needs — including seat style, control type, and comfort options.

Step 3: Test and certify

After installation, we’ll walk through the system together. Try the controls, take a test ride, and see how smoothly everything moves. Before leaving, our installer checks every safety feature to help ensure you feel confident using your new lift.

Very little. Regular cleaning and a quick yearly inspection by a Leaf Home technician help keep your lift in top shape.

Yes. Each curved stair lift runs on a battery-powered system that keeps working even when the power goes out. You can expect around 15-20 trips on a full charge before it needs to recharge, depending on the model.

No. The seat, arms, and footrest all fold up to 15.5-16” neatly to leave plenty of room on the steps. In tighter spaces, you can choose a model with a folding or “parked” rail to keep the stairs clear.

Leaf Home curved stair lifts can carry up to 250-350 pounds safely, depending on the model.

Leaf Home stair lifts include a limited lifetime warranty, plus one year of battery coverage. Our local service team is always available for maintenance, inspections, or any questions you may have.

Traditional Medicare doesn’t usually cover stair lifts, but some Medicare Advantage plans or Veterans Affairs programs may help. Leaf Home also offers financing options to help make your lift more affordable.
