K2 Stairlift
Our best-selling stairlift
Our popular K2 stairlift offers a simple design and reliable rack and pinion performance. Built with a slim profile, it folds up to less than 11" from the wall to leave room on the stairs when not in use. Comfortable and easy to use, it accommodates up to 350 lb and features width-adjustable armrests. The K2 takes only a few hours to install on either side of your stairs, and is battery powered with built-in charging.

Space-saving design
A stairlift that is slim, strong and simpleGreat for even narrow staircases, the Savaria K2 folds up compactly when not in use, making it easier to access the stairs for those not using the stairlift. The folded depth is 10 ¾" from the wall with the standard L seat. If you choose the optional V seat the depth when folded is 11 ¼".

Rail Extension Brackets
If you have a door near the top landing of your stairlift, rail extension brackets can be added to reduce the intrusion of the rail.
Manual Flip-up
If you have a door close to the bottom of the rail, you can add a manual flip-up rail to eliminate the tripping hazard of the rail intrusion.
Continuous Charge System
Add a continuous charge system to ensure that charging occurs along the entire length of the rail rather than just at the top and bottom landings.
Paddle
Add a paddle to the seat swivel handle for easier turning.
Emergency Stop
An emergency stop button can be added to the armrest.
Outdoor package
If you live in a moderate climate, the K2 can be installed outside. Choose the outdoor package which includes a stainless-steel rack and support legs, and zinc-coated hardware for added weather resistance. The seat is UV-rated and water repellent, with closed cell foam cushion. Two radio-frequency (RF) controls are included along with a chair cover. The upgraded battery provides a longer lasting charge for weather variations.
K2 Seat Options
The K2 offers the L seat (arms width: 17.24 – 20.39"), a traditional shape chair in beige wipe-clean vinyl with toggle switch at the end of the armrest to control up/down.
The V seat (arms width: 16.85 – 19.2") features a more open back, which some people find more comfortable if more space is needed on the seat. The V seat includes a large toggle switch on the top of the armrest for movement control.
