There are many straight stairlifts on the market today.
Operating on a straight track they have different features and options available to the consumer.
Here we are going to look in detail at the Minivator Simplicity 950 plus, the GTi of the straight stairlift world!
One important thing to note here is that if you have a staircase that goes around a fan or turn at the top then a straight stairlift is not the product for you.
Years ago, stairlift companies would install your lift and install a wooden platform at the top accommodating any turn in the staircase however, with health and safety being of paramount importance, reputable stairlift companies will no longer install these platforms and you need to be looking at a curved stairlift instead.
When you buy a new or reconditioned straight stairlift from Leodis Stairlifts, rather than be tied down to one manufacturer, we can offer you choice from the leading suppliers.
We have a wealth of knowledge and experience at our fingertips, our impartiality coupled with the fact that we’ve been established since 1991, enables us to advice you of the best stairlift for your specific needs.
One of our most popular stairlifts is the Minivator/Handicare Simplicity 950 range. The 950 plus is the top range model in this series, it’s one of the quietest, smoothest straight stairlifts out there.

The 950+ has a simple, slim design.
The carriage runs whisper-quiet along the straight track and a unique feature of this series of stairlifts is the ability for the stairlift to charge anywhere on the track.
This feature enables you to park your stairlift at any point on the track and then call or send it using one of the 2 remotes, supplied as standard. This feature is ideal for those who may have limited hearing.
The fire retardant, wipe clean upholstery comes in 6 colours to complement your decor.
Located on the end of the arm, a toggle control is effortless to use and the lockable key switch, located under the arm, enables you to restrict the use of your stairlift – an important factor if you have your grandchildren coming to stay!
The ‘smart’ seat is fitted with a retractable seat belt for your safety and folds away neatly when not in use.
The seat is swivelled using a paddle. However, should you wish to have even more comfort and ease of use, the Minivator Simplicity 950+ stairlift, has the added option of having a powered swivel fitted and even a powered foot plate too.
The Minivator stairlift offers different colour options which you can choose to match your décor. Below you can see the 6 different colour swatches, Sand, Jade, Ruby, Sapphire, Cocoa and Slate.
This straight stairlift is built with quality, safety and reliability in mind and to the highest of standards.
The slimline carriage has a diagnostic display so you can read the status of your stairlift making any fault-finding easier and more cost-effective.
The manufacturer has thought of everything and should you have an area with restricted access, Handicare, have solved this problem too.
This stairlift is available with either a hinged track or the innovative sliding track (as you can see in the below video), which slides as your chair moves, leaving doorways and halls free from obstruction.

If you’re having trouble with your hips or knees this straight stairlift is also available for installation with a perch/stand seat so the user is nearly in the standing position.
You can see why this stairlift is one of our best sellers.
The Simplicity 950+ has been designed purely with your safety and comfort in mind but Handicare didn’t stop there – from the colour choices available to the optional extras they want YOU to have a stairlift that fits in with your life and your home.
