Handicare, the global leader in mobility and accessibility solutions, announced today the launch of the 1100 Straight Stairlift in North America. Representing the next generation in stairlift technology, the 1100 offers a multitude of revolutionary features and benefits that appeal to both the dealer and consumer.

Designed to make the struggle of climbing a staircase a thing of the past, the 1100 is the perfect solution for total independence.
“The launch of the 1100 marks an evolution in stairlift design for not only Handicare but also our industry.” said Thomas Vorpahl, President of Handicare North America. “We wanted to introduce a revolutionary stairlift that is lightweight, easy to install and maintain for our dealers.
