Platinum Stairlifts
Platinum Stairlifts began making stairlifts in 1996. Its range of custom built straight and curved models are manufactured in Yorkshire and sold by approved local dealers across the UK. The company specialises in making high quality stairlifts tailored to their customers’ needs.
Platinum offers customers the option of an Ergo seat on its Horizon Plus and Curve models. The Ergo seats come is a choice of designs; the Standard, Plus and Space. They are ergonomically designed for maximum support and comfort. The key feature of Ergo seats is that they can be adapted to meet the precise individual needs of the user.
For instance, the Ergo Space may be the best solution if you have particularly narrow stairs. And people with shorter legs may benefit from the Ergo Plus, as it’s designed so users can comfortably rest their feet on the footplate.

The Horizon is Platinum’s straight stairlift. It is designed to operate on a single anodised aluminium rail on staircases that run in a straight line. It can be installed with a hinged rail so the lift can be folded out of the way when not in use. The Horizon can be adapted to an outdoor stairlift that can be used outside in all weather.
