New Flow X Stairlifts

New Flow X Stairlift

The New Flow X Stairlift is a premium made-to-measure stairlift created for homes where staircase shape, available space and appearance all matter. Designed by Access BDD, the Flow X uses an exceptionally compact single-rail system and intelligent swivelling technology to negotiate curves while keeping the chair positioned comfortably throughout the journey.

Able to fit staircases as narrow as approximately 610mm, the Flow X is particularly impressive in properties where a conventional curved stairlift may occupy too much room. Its discreet rail, contemporary seating and extensive adjustment options make it an attractive choice for customers seeking a high-quality bespoke stairlift rather than a purely functional mobility aid.

Made for Difficult, Curved and Narrow Staircases

Unusual stairs can present some of the biggest challenges when installing a stairlift. Tight turns, steep gradients, narrow treads and multiple changes in direction require a system capable of adapting precisely to the property.

The Flow X solves this with a custom-manufactured rail designed around the individual staircase. Stairlifts2U supplies the Flow X with up to 5 metres of bespoke track, allowing the installation to follow complex layouts while preserving as much usable staircase width as possible.

Its single rail sits close to the steps and can be positioned on either side of the staircase. Compared with bulkier rail arrangements, this helps leave more room available for relatives, visitors and other household members who continue to use the stairs on foot.

Advanced Swivel and Levelling Technology

One of the Flow X’s standout features is Access BDD’s Advanced Swivel and Levelling technology, known as ASL.

Instead of simply travelling forward around every turn, the chair can rotate while the stairlift is moving. This intelligent positioning helps keep the user’s body in a comfortable orientation while enabling the lift to negotiate confined areas more efficiently.

The technology is a key reason why the Flow X can be installed on staircases measuring from approximately 610mm wide. It also allows the stairlift to travel on gradients of up to 72 degrees, giving installers considerably more flexibility when dealing with steep or awkward stairs.

Designed Around the Person Using It

Comfort is about more than the seat itself. Getting onto the stairlift, sitting securely and standing again at the destination all need to feel natural.

The Flow X features wrap-around ergonomic armrests shaped to provide support when lowering yourself into the chair and when standing up. Their open-access design also creates more room when transferring on or off the stairlift.

Seat height can be adjusted through four positions between approximately 515mm and 585mm, allowing the installation to be better matched to the user’s height and preferred seating position.

Two footrest sizes are available, with five adjustment positions providing further scope to achieve a comfortable fit.

Control Your Stairlift With Minimal Effort

A soft-touch joystick is integrated into the armrest for simple directional control. When it is not required, the joystick folds neatly away rather than protruding from the chair.

Armrest detection is built into the operating system, while the Flow X’s automatic stopping functionality provides another layer of protection during use.

A one-handed retractable seatbelt makes securing yourself easier, particularly for users who have limited strength or dexterity. Seatbelt detection also prevents travel until the system recognises that the belt has been correctly fastened.

Stay Connected While Travelling

An optional call device can add another useful level of reassurance.

Up to three telephone numbers can be stored, allowing the stairlift user to contact selected friends, relatives or carers directly from the Flow X. For somebody living independently, this feature can provide additional confidence without requiring a separate telephone to be carried during every journey.

Reliable Battery-Powered Operation

The Flow X uses two 12V batteries, providing a combined 24V supply.

Battery operation means the stairlift can continue to function during many household power interruptions rather than immediately becoming unusable if the mains electricity fails. The batteries recharge through the stairlift system, keeping the lift ready for regular day-to-day journeys.

A robust rack-and-pinion drive and 350W motor provide the mechanical power required to move smoothly around the staircase.

Suitable for Users Up to 125kg

Despite its slim appearance, the Flow X supports a maximum user weight of 125kg, approximately 19 stone 9lb.

Its compact dimensions therefore do not come at the expense of substantial everyday capability. The combination of a supportive seating position, adjustable components and carefully controlled movement makes the Flow X suitable for a broad range of people experiencing reduced mobility.

A Curved Stairlift That Can Complement Your Interior

For many homeowners, appearance becomes particularly important when investing in a premium stairlift. The staircase is often one of the first features visible when entering a property, so a large mobility product can have a noticeable effect on the room.

The Flow X has been created with this in mind.

Multiple seat finishes are available, while the rail can be supplied in standard colours or specified in a custom colour. This gives considerably more freedom to coordinate the stairlift with carpets, walls, woodwork and surrounding furnishings.

Its single-rail configuration further contributes to the understated appearance, producing a cleaner installation than many traditional curved stairlift systems.

Premium Accessibility Without Dominating Your Staircase

The Flow X is particularly suited to customers who have been told their staircase is narrow, steep or difficult to accommodate. Its ability to rotate the chair as it travels allows it to make efficient use of limited space while providing a comfortable seated journey around bends and corners.

This combination of bespoke engineering and compact design can make previously challenging staircases accessible without unnecessarily restricting the space available to everyone else.

For households comparing curved stairlifts, narrow stairlift solutions, bespoke stairlifts and premium home mobility equipment, the New Flow X Stairlift offers an advanced alternative designed around both the user and the property.

Choose a Stairlift Designed Specifically for Your Home

No two curved staircases are exactly alike, which is why the Flow X is not treated as a one-size-fits-all product. The rail is manufactured around the individual route of your stairs, while seating adjustments and finish options allow the final installation to be tailored further.

If reduced mobility is making it harder to reach bedrooms, bathrooms or other floors of your home, the New Flow X can provide a sophisticated long-term accessibility solution while helping you retain your independence in familiar surroundings.

Its combination of a custom-built rail, space-saving technology, modern styling and intelligent seating movement makes the Flow X one of the most versatile options for customers looking to buy a new curved stairlift.
