Stair Lifts

Curved Stairlifts

When your staircase turns a corner, has a mid-landing, or spirals, you need a curved stairlift — one with a rail manufactured to the exact shape of your stairs. Ocel Builders measures, orders, and installs curved stairlifts across Minnesota so the ride is smooth from the very first step to the last.

A lift that follows your staircase exactly

Not every staircase runs in a straight line — and for the ones that turn, pause at a landing, or spiral, a curved stairlift is the safe, comfortable answer. The difference is the rail: rather than a standard length, it’s fabricated to trace the precise path of your stairs, so you glide around every corner in one continuous, smooth ride.

What makes curved stairlifts special

  • Custom rail — measured and built to your staircase’s exact turns and landings.
  • Continuous ride — rounds corners and landings without stopping or transferring.
  • Handles anything — 90° and 180° turns, multiple flights, even spirals.
  • Same safety features — swivel seat, seat belt, sensors, and battery backup.

The process, start to finish

We begin with a free in-home measurement, capturing the exact geometry of your stairs. Your custom rail is then manufactured, and once it arrives we install and test the lift — usually in a single day. Because precision matters here, this is exactly the kind of job you want a licensed, experienced installer handling.

Custom work, honest guidance, funding help

Ocel Builders has fabricated and installed curved stairlifts throughout Minnesota for decades. As a registered Medicaid provider (NPI/UMPI), we can also help you fund the lift through DHS waivers or VA grants. Prefer a straight run? See straight stairlifts. Book your free measurement today.

Frequently asked

Questions about curved stairlifts

Why do curved stairlifts cost more than straight ones?

The rail is custom-manufactured to match your staircase's exact turns and landings, which takes precise measurement and fabrication. Curved stairlifts in Minnesota typically start around $10,000, though waiver and VA funding can cover much of it.

How long does a curved stairlift take to install?

Because the rail is built to order, expect a couple of weeks from measurement to installation. The install itself is usually completed in a day once the custom rail arrives.

Can a curved stairlift handle a landing or a 180° turn?

Yes. Curved rails are built to follow landings, 90° and 180° turns, and even spiral staircases, carrying you smoothly around each bend without stopping.
