Using the latest technology, Handicare’s twin rail system is custom built to create a perfect fit for your stairs. The 4000 offers a range of automatic options tailored to your needs, including a folding hinge to avoid obstructing nearby doorways, and powered swivel and footrest for ultimate ease of use.
Its stable twin rail design delivers a smooth ride whilst enabling tight bends. This system offers the tightest rail bends on the market, making it an ideal choice for spiral or curved staircases and narrow hallways.
The rail colour can be fully customised to suit your décor, and the seat can be customised with a range of colours in three style options: the Style, the Smart, or the Simplicity.

Perch Seat

This means that Perch Seats may also provide a solution for particularly narrow staircases where a user would not have room to travel in a seated position.
