Helix Mobile Stairlift – Battery Powered Stair Climbing Chair
The Helix Mobile Stairlift is a portable, battery-powered stair climbing chair designed for curved, rounded, spiral and straight staircases. Its independent motorized crawler tracks are designed to maintain stable contact while navigating turning and irregular stair layouts that standard straight-stair mobile stairlifts cannot accommodate.
Portable Stairlift for Curved and Straight Stairs
Unlike permanent rail-mounted stairlifts that require custom installation and home modifications, the Helix provides portable seated stair access without permanent installation. The user remains seated in an upright position while an operator controls powered movement up or down the staircase.
With a 400 lb weight capacity and climbing range of up to 120 flights per charge, the Helix is designed for frequent stair use in homes, caregiving environments, recovery situations, travel and rental applications.
Designed for Curved, Rounded and Spiral Staircases
The Helix features a flexible crawler track system designed for curved, rounded, spiral and straight stairs. Its independent drive tracks help maintain contact around turns and changing stair geometries. The unit can operate on wood, carpet, tile, concrete and most common stair surfaces when properly secured.
