The perfect match The idea of having a stairlift may take a bit of getting used to. We understand this. Maybe you worry that it will be obtrusive. So we’ve kept these thoughts in mind when designing the Flow2.

Thanks to our monorail technology we can match almost any staircase requirement including; extreme steepness, very narrow stairs or limited space on top or at the bottom of your staircase. The Flow’s monorail follows the curve of your stairs, minimising its obtrusiveness.

Additionally, the contemporary yet functional design blends perfectly into your home, becoming a part of your interior, just like a new piece of furniture. With many upholstery and rail colour options, you can choose whatever suits your interior best.

A smooth ride

A smooth ride Whether you’re going up or down, you’ll always experience a very smooth and safe ride with the Flow2 stairlift.

Thanks to our proven monorail concept and patented Advanced Swivel and Levelling (ASL) Technology the chair and footrest rotate to the optimal and safest position during the ride.

This saves you time and allows the Flow2 to easily handle the tightest and steepest staircases, while you sit comfortably on your stairlift. This enables you to get off safely as the chair is already in the right place upon arrival.

thyssenkrupp is the only stairlift manufacturer on the market that offers ASL Technology.

With the ergonomically positioned footrest you’ll experience less knee flexion, adding an extra comfort to your journey. When not in use the Flow2 occupies only a small part of the stairs, so your loved ones can easily walk up or down without being obstructed in the corridor or hallway.

12 Safety

The stairs are a worry, whatever your age.

Managing the stairs is one of the reasons senior citizens feel they have to move out of the homes they love so much. Yes, stairs are a worry, but haven't they always been so?

Taking up the laundry, carrying a baby, rushing down to answer the door... the stairs can be a hindrance. But there's no reason they should become an insurmountable problem.

Here is some good advice to make your stairs safer: • Make sure you have a secure handrail • Keep your hands free to hold onto the handrail • Ensure your staircase is well lit • Make sure carpets or rugs are securely fitted • Always keep the stairs clear • Avoid wearing slippery shoes or socks on the stairs • Wait for the steps to dry after cleaning • And if the stairs become a real problem, a stairlift is the answer Made-to-measure technology is the future. Your future.

Discover the many features and configuration possibilities of the thyssenkrupp stairlift products.

We're convinced this could be the perfect solution for a long and happy life at your home.
