A curved stairlift is the optimal choice for spiral staircases or ones that have a landing or bend along the way. The Handicare 2000 boasts the tightest track bends in the industry today, allowing it to fit most staircases.
Each 2000 is custom built based off of the specific parameters of your home’s architecture to ensure it fits tightly against your wall, ensuring your staircase is left with the maximum amount of space. If space at the bottom of your staircase is a concern, we can eliminate it altogether when the seat is parked upstairs by adding a powered hinge that lifts and folds the track away when not in use.
The 2000 provides a wide range of versatility – from its seat and track options to its upgrade options.
Available option(s) for this stairlift
- Powered hinged rail: With the powered hinge the track can be folded away from the doorway giving clear access.

Introduction
Need Fault / Error Codes For Minivator / Handicare Stairlifts?
Years ago, the Minivator stairlift company was bought by Handicare to bring the Minivator 950, 1000 and 2000 under the Handicare brand.
We have codes for most types of Handicare stair lifts including the now branded Handicare 950, 1000 and 2000.
Minivator / Handicare 2000 Codes
These 3 models of Minivator / Handicare lifts share the same codes between them
When your stairlift is working, you’ll normally not notice the code display on the lift. Usually a green coloured display, the status code display is located on the downward side of the 950 stairlift and on the front of the 1000 stair lift, below the seat.
On the 2000 curved model, you can also see the codes under the seat, next to the on off button.

Smart Seat
We don’t believe that the seat on your stairlift is just for sitting. We understand that everyone has a unique set of needs and preferences that ensure they have a comfortable ride, every time. As a result, we developed the Smart Seat – our most versatile design that provides users an array of options and upgrades.
We ensure that the seat is fitted just for you with fully adjustable settings for height, width and depth. Should you prefer to upgrade to a powered swivel or attach a body harness, the Smart Seat easily allows you to do so.
Easy-to-clean and maintain, the Smart seat will also look great in your home. A leather-grain finish with six color options to choose from, this durable seat is also water-resistant and extremely easy to clean. Our popular Perch seat also muses its design off of the Smart seat.
Available Options
- Body Harness: For those who may require extra support and stability as they ride the stairlift.
- Powered footrest: The powered footrest option removes the need for you to bend down to fold or unfold the footrest.
- Powered swivel seat: The powered swivel option will automatically swivel the seat when the stairlift reaches the top of the stairs.
