A Stannah Stairlift from Independence 2011 may be the answer!
What is a stairlift?
A stairlift is a specially designed chair, that sits on a fixed rail track on a staircase. A person can sit on the chair and travel between floors. Stairlifts can be used on most stairwells, indoors or outdoors. The chair itself can fold up against the wall when it is not being used so that other people can walk up and down the stairs easily.
Offering a
fully custom-made system designed to suit any décor
whilst incorporating high quality design which is manufactured to International Safety Standards and complies with New Zealand building code legislation.
Several staircase configurations are achievable, with the rail being
fixed direct to the stair treads
and not the wall. A Stannah Stairlift can be fitted on all kinds of stairs, be it straight or curved, narrow or wide, indoors or outdoors. Installed by qualified lift technicians, there is no unnecessary extra builders work required
and stairlift units can be fitted on all kinds of stairs be it straight and curved, narrow or wide, indoors and outdoors.
Choose from a variety of chair options as not all staircases are the same, just as every home and every persons needs are different.
The Journey
From the moment you phone us to make an appointment, you’ll have our complete attention. And that lasts right through consultation, installation, maintenance, servicing and repairs if you ever need them.

“Independence have installed 2 stair lifts for us. We received helpful, practical and timely advice about the types of stair lift we should install. The installation was carried out very professionally and efficiently. Any subsequent queries about the operation of the stair lifts have been positively and promptly dealt with. Overall their service has been excellent. We are also comforted by the fact that they are readily available to attend to any future maintenance needs."
- Mr Johns, Wellington
"My old Stannah had serviced me for almost 30 years, so why change to another product, instead I upgraded to a new model. I am extremely pleased with my new stairlift, it is helping me stay in my home and is a great help, almost a friend."
- Mrs Hutchinson, Auckland
"I can now go up and down stairs when I need to, instead of putting things off and only doing them when I go up to bed. "
