HIRO 160 inner guide stair lift

Negotiate curves gracefully and safely with the patented traction drive

Space-saving solution for the inner side of curved staircases


In many houses it is not possible to run the stair lift along the outer side of a curved staircase since a door, for instance, might interrupt its path. In this case, the lift is fitted on the inner side of the staircase. This means that several storeys can be connected in tight and therefore space-saving curves without interruption.
But such a solution can also be interesting for all other types of staircase, since inner guide lifts offer a number of advantages:

  • Shorter travel path
  • Parking option in the hall, beyond the staircase
  • Smaller space requirement
  • Leaves more space to climb the stairs
  • Later extension possible to next floor up
  • Even a door on an intermediate floor is not a problem

Tight curve radiuses assure an ideal rail route


We do not use any prefabricated curved rail sections. The stainless steel guide rail is made specially to suit your staircase measurements. We can therefore achieve the tightest possible curve radiuses whatever your staircase.  We also maximise the space left for climbing the stairs.

More information on operation, colours and design etc. can be found under the heading Tips and useful information.
