How DHG Services Offers the Full Handicare Stairlift Range

When it comes to improving mobility at home, few solutions are as effective and immediate as a stairlift. For many households, it is the key to unlocking full use of the home again—restoring independence, comfort and confidence on a daily basis.

At DHG Services, one of the most important advantages we offer is access to the complete range from Handicare—one of the most trusted names in stairlift design and manufacturing. This means homeowners are not limited to a single option or system. Instead, they can choose from a full spectrum of solutions, including straight stairlifts, curved stairlifts, and both indoor and outdoor models.

This guide explains how that works, what the Handicare range includes, and why DHG Services is able to deliver such a comprehensive offering for homes across the UK.


Understanding Stairlifts and Why Choice Matters

A stairlift is a motorised chair or platform that travels along a rail fixed to a staircase, allowing users to move safely between floors without using the stairs directly.

While the concept is simple, the reality is that no two staircases—or households—are the same. That is why having access to a wide range of lift equipment is essential.

Some homes have straight staircases with no turns. Others have curves, landings, or complex layouts. Some need indoor solutions, while others require lifts for garden steps or external access.

DHG Services is able to meet all of these needs because it works with a complete portfolio of systems, including the full Handicare stairlift range.


Why Handicare Is a Leading Stairlift Brand

 

Handicare is widely recognised across the UK and internationally for producing reliable, well-designed stairlifts that combine safety, comfort and modern engineering.

Their systems are known for:

  • Slim, space-saving designs
  • Smooth and quiet operation
  • Battery-powered systems that work during power cuts
  • Customisable seating and rail options
  • Advanced safety features built into every model

This breadth of design is what allows DHG Services to offer solutions for almost any staircase configuration.


The Complete Range Available Through DHG Services

One of the key strengths of DHG Services is the ability to supply and install the full Handicare range, rather than a limited selection.

This includes:

Because of this, every installation can be tailored precisely to the property and the user.


Straight Stairlifts: Simple, Efficient and Fast to Install

 

Straight stairlifts are designed for staircases that run in a single line without bends or turns. They are the most common type of stairlift and are often the quickest to install.

Handicare’s straight stairlift range includes models such as the 1100 and 1000 series, which are designed to fit neatly onto the staircase while taking up minimal space.

For example, the Handicare 1100 features one of the narrowest rails available, helping to keep more of the staircase clear for other users.

Why Choose a Straight Stairlift?

  • Fast installation, often within a day
  • Cost-effective compared to curved systems
  • Minimal structural changes required
  • Ideal for standard staircases

DHG Services is able to supply and install these systems quickly, making them a practical solution for homeowners who need immediate support.


Curved Stairlifts: Designed for Complex Staircases

 

Not all staircases are straightforward. Many homes feature turns, corners, or intermediate landings that require a more advanced solution.

Handicare offers a range of curved stairlifts specifically designed for these layouts, including:

  • Single-rail systems such as Freecurve
  • Twin-rail systems such as the 4000

These systems are custom-built to match the exact shape of the staircase, ensuring a smooth and continuous journey from bottom to top.

Benefits of Curved Stairlifts

  • Fully tailored to your staircase
  • Continuous travel across multiple levels or turns
  • Smooth movement around bends
  • Designed to maximise available space

Because DHG Services has access to the full Handicare curved range, it can provide solutions even for the most complex staircases.


Indoor Stairlifts: Everyday Comfort and Reliability

 

Indoor stairlifts are the most common installations and are designed for daily use within the home.

Modern Handicare systems include features such as:

  • Fold-away seats, arms and footrests
  • Remote controls for easy operation
  • Swivel seats for safe access at the top of the stairs
  • Safety sensors that stop the lift if an obstruction is detected

These features ensure that the lift integrates smoothly into everyday life without disrupting the rest of the household.

DHG Services ensures that each installation is positioned and configured to suit both the staircase and the user’s specific needs.


Outdoor Stairlifts: Safe Access Beyond the Front Door

 
 

For many homes, the challenge is not just inside—it starts at the front door or in the garden.

Handicare outdoor stairlifts are designed specifically for external environments, with features that allow them to operate reliably in all weather conditions.

These lifts are:

  • Weather-resistant and UV-protected
  • Built to handle rain, cold and temperature changes
  • Supplied with protective covers
  • Available for both straight and curved staircases

Outdoor curved systems, such as the Handicare 2000, are engineered to handle complex external stair layouts while maintaining safety and comfort.

Why Outdoor Stairlifts Matter

  • Improve access to the home entrance
  • Make gardens and outdoor spaces usable again
  • Reduce the risk of slips on external steps
  • Provide year-round independence

DHG Services installs both straight and curved outdoor stairlifts, ensuring accessibility is not limited to the inside of the home.


How DHG Services Delivers the Full Range

Offering a full range of stairlifts is not just about access to products—it requires the expertise to match each system to the right home.

DHG Services achieves this through a structured process:

1. Detailed Home Assessment

Every installation begins with a survey of the staircase and property layout. This ensures the correct type of lift is selected.

2. Access to Full Product Range

Because DHG Services works with the complete Handicare portfolio, it can recommend:

  • Straight or curved systems
  • Indoor or outdoor models
  • Different rail types and seating options

There is no need to compromise or force a single solution onto every home.

3. Custom Design for Curved Systems

Curved stairlifts are manufactured to match the exact dimensions of the staircase, ensuring a precise fit and smooth operation.

4. Professional Installation

Trained engineers install the lift safely and efficiently, ensuring all components are properly aligned and tested.

5. Ongoing Support

After installation, DHG Services provides maintenance and support to keep the lift running reliably over time.


The Importance of a Tailored Solution

Every staircase is different, and every user has unique needs.

Some homeowners require a simple, cost-effective solution for a straight staircase. Others need a fully customised curved system that navigates multiple turns. Some need indoor comfort, while others require outdoor durability.

Because DHG Services can offer the full Handicare range, it can tailor every installation to:

  • The structure of the home
  • The mobility needs of the user
  • The frequency of use
  • The available space

This flexibility is what ensures the best possible outcome for each customer.


Key Features Across the Handicare Range

While each model is different, many features are consistent across the Handicare range:

  • Battery-powered operation for use during power cuts
  • Safety sensors to detect obstructions
  • Foldable components to save space
  • Remote controls for ease of use
  • Smooth start and stop for comfort
  • Secure seatbelts and locking mechanisms

These features are designed to provide both safety and ease of use, making stairlifts suitable for a wide range of users.


Who Benefits from a Stairlift?

Stairlifts are not only for one type of user. They can benefit:

  • Older adults who want to remain in their home
  • People with mobility conditions such as arthritis
  • Individuals recovering from surgery or injury
  • Households planning ahead for future needs

By restoring access to the entire home, a stairlift can significantly improve quality of life.
