The Helix Mobile Stairlift is the only battery-powered portable stairlift in the Mobile Stairlift lineup designed to safely operate on curved, rounded, spiral, and straight staircases. For homes with winding steps, quarter-turn landings, pie-shaped stairs, or irregular staircase layouts where most mobile stairlifts cannot operate, the Helix delivers a powerful, portable solution without permanent installation.
Unlike rail-mounted stairlifts that require custom fabrication, home modification, and long installation timelines, the Helix operates as a fully portable, seated stairlift that climbs stairs using motorized crawler tracks. The user remains securely seated in an upright position while the operator controls smooth, powered movement up or down the staircase. This eliminates dangerous manual lifting and significantly reduces physical strain on caregivers.
With a 400 lb weight capacity and an industry-leading up to 120 flights of stair travel per charge, the Helix is engineered for higher weight support, frequent daily use, and long-term reliability across complex stair environments. Whether used for daily home access, post-surgical recovery, travel between locations, or rental programs, the Helix provides dependable stair access wherever curved or straight stairs exist.
The Helix is designed to operate on wood, carpet, tile, concrete, and most common stair surfaces. Its flexible crawler track system maintains stable contact while navigating rounded edges and turning step geometries that standard straight-only mobile stairlifts cannot handle. When not in use, the unit folds compactly and fits into the trunk of most vehicles, making it ideal for families who travel, snowbirds, multi-location caregivers, and backup emergency stair access.
Unlike many low-cost stair climbers sold online, the Helix is backed by a real American company with U.S.-based phone support, replacement parts, warranty coverage, and long-term service infrastructure. It also qualifies for Mobile Stairlift’s 7-Day Money Back Guarantee, allowing families to test the unit inside their own home with confidence. With Free Shipping and No Sales Tax, buyers receive predictable, all-in pricing with no checkout surprises.
For homes with curved staircases where traditional options are limited or extremely expensive, the Helix delivers a powerful, portable, and budget-conscious alternative that restores safe stair access without permanent installation.

Common Questions
What are the physical requirements for operating the Helix Mobile Stairlift?
To operate this Helix safely, the operator should be in good physical health and capable of handling the stairlift’s controls. We recommend that the operator be comfortable hauling the 65-pound stairlift when storing and deploying it and be able to operate it with a patient’s weight.
To test these physical requirements, the operator should comfortably support the rider’s weight while the chair is tilted back.
What floor types does the Helix Stairlift work on?
This stairlift works on a variety of floor types, including cement, wood, and iron stairs. It’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It can also be used on carpeted stairs, but only if the carpet is fully attached to the stairs. It might slip under the tracks if it's a throw or a runner.
Does the Helix come fully assembled?
Yes! All of our products, including this chair, come fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box.
