As one of the most advanced curved stairlifts available, the Flow X blends innovation, comfort, and elegant design to support your independence at home. Whether your staircase is narrow, steep, or uniquely shaped, the Flow X offers a reliable and stylish mobility solution tailored to your needs.
Seamless Movement & Space‑conscious Design
The Flow X is engineered for smooth, effortless movement on any staircase, including tight curves and narrow layouts. It installs directly onto your staircase, not your wall, minimizing disruption and preserving the look of your home. Its slim design and modern aesthetics help it blend naturally into your décor, making it one of the most space-efficient curved stairlifts available.
Advanced Technology for Any Staircase
Using state‑of‑the‑art engineering, the Flow X can be installed on staircases as narrow as 24 inches. Its signature Advanced Swivel and Leveling (ASL) technology enables the chair to rotate while in motion, keeping you safely positioned at all times. This unique capability makes the Flow X one of the most versatile stairlifts in the world.

ASL Technology: Safe, Smart & Efficient
Safe Positioning at Every Stop
ASL technology keeps the seat in the ideal position as you travel, ensuring you can get on and off the lift safely at both the top and bottom of the staircase.
Continuous Motion for a Smoother Ride
Because the Flow X swivels while in motion, you avoid extra stops and unnecessary repositioning.
Designed for Narrow and Steep Staircases
Even on staircases with tight turns, steep angles, or limited space, the Flow X can be installed closer to the steps and on either side of the staircase.
Ergonomic Support with Every Movement
With ASL technology, the footrest rotates in unison with the seat, keeping your legs and feet naturally aligned.
Flexible Rail & Parking Options
The Flow X offers multiple configurations to suit your home:
Standard Vertical Start
Ideal for staircases with doors near the bottom; requires only 7 inches of space.
Vertical Short Start
Works where space is extremely limited; needs just 4 inches.
Horizontal Overrun
