Accessibility market trend: seat lifts are Germany's most common type of stairlift

Accessibility is no longer a topic for the future, but the present. And the seat lift is leading this development. Around three out of four stairlifts in Germany are now seat lifts - and the trend is still rising. This is not only due to the price, but also to the combination of technology, comfort and suitability for everyday use that makes it the first choice.

The seat lift at a glance

Market share: over 75% of all stairlift installations in Germany

Price advantage: entry usually from approx. 3,500 to 5,500 euros (incl. installation)

Funding: grants from the care insurance fund of up to 4,180 euros per person, up to 8,360 euros possible for two applicants

Installation time: in many cases within one day

Area of application: straight, curved or narrow stairs - indoors and outdoors

In comparison to platform lifts or hoist lifts, which often cost between 10,000 and 18,000 euros and require structural adaptations, the sit-on lift is the most economical solution for the majority of private households. It can be retrofitted almost anywhere, takes up hardly any space and blends harmoniously into the living environment.

Why the seat lift is convincing

Space-saving and unobtrusive: the rail follows the course of the stairs with millimetre precision, the seat can be folded up and disappears when not in use.

Easy to operate: control via armrest button, remote control or app; automatic swivel seats facilitate access.

Technically sophisticated: battery operation with emergency operation in the event of a power failure, soft start and obstacle detection have long been standard features.

Design & comfort: ergonomic upholstery, choice of colors and quiet running make it part of the living space - not a foreign body.

Sustainable thinking: many models are available as certified used or rental lifts, with a guarantee and maintenance option.

"Today, the seat lift stands for freedom, not restriction," explains the management of Regional Treppenlift. "It shows that accessibility is not a luxury, but a quality of life that everyone can afford - with or without funding."

A comparison of subsidies and value for money

The significant price difference explains the market share, but the decision is rarely made solely on cost grounds. More and more people are opting for the installation of a seat lift as a preventative measure, long before mobility becomes a problem. Regional Treppenlift advises this target group independently of manufacturers - with a focus on the actual need, not on the maximum price.

The company supports customers throughout Germany from the initial consultation to funding applications and commissioning. With experienced partners, transparent processes and clear recommendations, Regional Treppenlift ensures that accessibility does not remain an unmanageable project, but a solvable goal.

Today, the seat lift is a symbol of a new attitude: barrier-free living is not a compromise, but a conscious decision for quality of life.
