Stairlift - Recommendations

Hi Folks, looking for advice for an elderly relative who is looking to have a stairlift installed in their house.
There have a been a few 'salesmen' round which is when I became away and had to hunt them. The were effectively selling snake oil.
The issue is that my grandfather is a large man (26 stone). My own thoughts are that he's unlikely to be able to get a stair lift that will handle that weight. Indeed some of these salesman were trying to sell him model, which when I looked, had a max weight way below what he is.
My questions are:
1. Is there a stairlift that you can recommend that can cope with that weight?
2. Any reputable companies that you can recommend? (There are lots of companies out there but when you scratch the surface the reviews are terrible; sub standard products, fail to hear from them once they have the money, etc.).
Thanks for your help.
