A straight stairlift that gets the details right

The S100 is TKE's straight-staircase stairlift — TKE being the accessibility arm of TK Elevator, formerly thyssenkrupp, whose German engineering has made them a Which? Recommended Stairlift Provider. It's a compact, discreet lift that fits narrow staircases, folds away neatly, and can usually be installed in just a few hours on its slim single rail.

We supply, install and maintain the S100 across the North East — and because TKE's UK experience centre is in Stockton-on-Tees, you can even try one before you decide.

Why it stands out

  • Safety that thinks ahead — built-in obstacle detection stops the lift instantly if anything is on the stairs, and it won't set off until the seat belt is fastened and the armrests are down.
  • Controls anyone can use — the ergonomic joystick works with a finger, thumb, wrist or the side of the hand, ideal for arthritic hands.
  • Keeps the stairs usable for everyone — the seat, footrest and even the rail itself fold away; the automatic hinge rail keeps a doorway at the foot of the stairs completely clear.
  • Safe getting off at the top — the seat swivels automatically towards the landing, away from the drop.
  • Reassurance built in — an optional key lock stops unauthorised use, and the alarm button can be programmed with three phone numbers so help is a press away.
  • Built to last — German engineering with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Ideal for

Straight staircases in any home — and anyone who wants the reassurance of a major manufacturer with local support. Curved or multi-flight stairs? See the TKE S200.
