No, the Brooks 130 is designed exclusively for straight staircases. It offers a straightforward, cost-effective solution for homes with direct flights of stairs without bends, turns, or landings. For staircases with curves or corners, a custom-made curved stairlift would be required instead.
Yes, the stairlift is battery-powered with DC operation, meaning it continues to function reliably even if there’s a power cut in your home. The batteries recharge automatically when the stairlift is parked at charging points, ensuring it’s always ready for use and providing uninterrupted access to all floors of your home.
Safety is a priority in the design of the Brooks 130. It comes equipped with obstruction sensors that automatically stop the lift if anything is detected on the stairs, preventing accidents. Additional features include a seatbelt for secure seating, soft start and stop technology for gentle movement without sudden jerks, and a key lock to prevent unauthorised use. The padded seat also swivels at the top for safe dismounting.
Operation is simple and intuitive, making it accessible for users of all abilities. A easy-to-use joystick on the armrest allows you to control direction with minimal effort. For added convenience, wireless remote controls let you call or send the stairlift up or down the stairs from either end, which is particularly helpful if multiple people need to use it or if you’re carrying items.

Installation is typically quick and straightforward, often completed in a few hours with no major building work needed. The rail attaches directly to the staircase treads, not the wall, so there’s minimal mess or disruption to your home. A professional surveyor will assess your stairs first to ensure a perfect fit.
