Versatile, Safe, and Compact Accessibility for Any Staircase

The Gecko Powered Stairclimber is a revolutionary mobility solution designed to safely transport individuals up and down stairs, including spiral, flared, narrow, and straight staircases — without the need for costly building modifications. Featuring a patented anti-tipping system, this powered stairclimber offers exceptional control, stability, and comfort for both the passenger and the operator.

Engineered for a wide variety of accessibility and evacuation needs, the Gecko ensures maximum versatility in virtually any environment, from modern office blocks to historic landmarks where stairlift installations may be restricted. Thanks to its lightweight yet robust build, it is easy to manoeuvre, store, and deploy wherever it’s needed most.
