More details from BrooksWhat Brooks includes
Simple controls. Thoughtful features.
- Soft start and stop to avoid sudden movement
- Easy-to-use armrest direction control
- Remote controls to call or send the lift
- Low-voltage rechargeable operation

A closer look
Five details worth trying and understanding.
A stairlift is used every day. Controls, transfer position and the space left on the stairs deserve as much attention as the lift itself.
2
Wireless remote controls
Call or send the stairlift between floors when it is needed by somebody else.
3
Safety cut-out sensors
Brooks describes five sensors across the footrest and carriage, designed to stop the lift if its path is blocked.
4
Locking swivel seat
The seat can turn and lock at 45° or 90° to help with getting on and off at the landing.
5
Simple paddle control
Press the armrest paddle in the direction of travel and keep it held while the stairlift moves.

Questions before you call
Brooks stairlift questions, answered plainly.
Does a Brooks stairlift attach to the wall?
Brooks says its straight stairlift rail fixes to the stair treads rather than the wall. The staircase still needs to be assessed before suitability is confirmed.
Will the stairlift work during a power cut?
Brooks states that the Lincoln runs on rechargeable batteries and can continue to work during a blackout when it has been left switched on and charging correctly.
How much space does it leave on the stairs?
The seat, arms and footrest fold away. Exact clearance depends on the staircase and installation, so measurements should be checked for your home.
What is the stated weight capacity?
Brooks publishes a maximum capacity of 20 stone (127 kg) for the straight stairlift shown here. Scott will confirm the appropriate product and current specification before any order.
Is the Brooks Lincoln suitable for curved stairs?
The Lincoln information shown here is for a straight staircase. If your stairs turn, split or include intermediate landings, tell Scott at the start so the correct route can be discussed.
What guarantee does Brooks provide?
The Brooks supplier page states a 12-month guarantee from installation for mechanical failure caused by manufacturing defects. Current terms and cover must be confirmed with the quotation.
One conversation to start
Tell Scott about the stairs. He’ll help make the next step clear.
No online estimate can replace seeing the staircase and understanding the person using it. Call with your postcode and a few photographs when you are ready.
