What maximum weight can a stairlift carry?

The weight limit or Safe Working Load (SWL) will vary depending upon each make and model and the options selected. Most lifts on the market are capable of carrying up to 18 Stone / 252lbs /120Kg. If you weigh more than 18st/120kg/252lbs check with your supplier as there are some models that can accommodate SWL of a greater weight. The MediTek straight lift is rated to a SWL of 160kg (25st) 350lbs and the Curved model rated to 120kg (18st) 350lbs
