Revolutionary Friction Drive
Lightweight Rail Design
Ultra Slim Profile
The all-new 1100 Straight Stairlift from Handicare is the first in North America to feature friction-drive technology. Light years ahead of the competition, featuring a very modern-looking seat, multi-drive technology, a lightweight powerpack and rail that discreetly blends in with any home décor.
A truly next-gen stairlift with features in a class all of its own.

Friction Drive
One hundred thirty years in the making, the Handicare 1100 Straight Stairlift features next generation technology with an ultra-streamlined design that takes up less space on your stairs.
With the 1100, we eliminated the traditional tooth rack system and invested in Friction Drive to power our next gen stairlift. We’ve achieved a quieter, smoother, more robust stairlift design that’s much easier to maintain. Your customers will love using this stairlift every day.
Designed for all Interiors
We designed the 1100 to be a smart, stylish complement to everything else in your customers home. The modern aesthetic is welcome in any home décor and is available in a warm vanilla beige upholstery.
Featuring our comfortable Style Seat in a leatherette finish, the seat surface is easily wipeable and cleans easily when accidental spills occur.
Features Your Customers Care About

Compact and Upgradable
The 1100 folds up easily maximizing the space for family members to go up and down the stairs as needed. We know back pain and aches can occur anytime, that’s why we made the 1100 easy to upgrade. Powered footrest and seat swivel can be added after installation for your customer’s convenience.

Easy-to-Use and Maintain
Ergonomic and intuitive to use, the joystick on the armrest smoothly operates the 1100. Your customers with pets can rejoice, the 1100 features four brush heads that constantly clean the rail from dust and hair, ensuring the lift is always spotless. The tooth rack free design also eliminates grease and oil from dripping on carpeted or wooden staircase.

Always Charged
The 1100 comes standard with Continuous Charge, the lift is always being charged even while in use anywhere on the track! No need for the lift to make contact with a charging point, a plus for anyone that unseats early.

Remote Control
Send for the 1100 at the touch of a button with the included remote controls. Two are included with holders for both the top and bottom landings.

Safety First
The optional powered footrest allows you to fold and unfold the footrest without having to bend down, an anti-slip texture on the footrest provides a better foot grip when seated and departing. The 1100 is also fitted with multiple safety sensors which stop the stairlift whenever it runs into an obstacle.

Swivel Automatically
The 1100 makes it easy to get off the lift at the top of landings, simply hold the toggle switch in the direction of the landing to turn the seat for a controlled departure. With 80 degrees of tilt, you face more of your top landing providing a greater security blanket when getting up from the 1100.

Retractable Seatbelt
The 1100 comes equipped with an easy-to-use retractable seat belt, a standard feature that provides added security when safely seated in the lift.

Patented Multi-Drive Technology
We’ve built multi-drive into a stairlift! In the unlikely event that one of the motors fails, the others pick up the slack to provide enough power to reach the top or bottom of staircases 10x over! An emergency stop button is also located on the bottom of the chair.
