Ameriglide Stair Lifts
Ameriglide Stair Lifts are specifically designed to be reliable and safe. Ameriglide only makes straight stair lifts so you'll want to look elsewhere if you require a curved stair lift. The reason the company only makes straight stairlifts is because Ameriglide believe in making stair lifts that are cheap, reliable and easy to install.
Installation of an Ameriglide stair lift only takes about 2 hours and can be done by anyone with basic DIY ability; this means you can buy a low cost stair lift from Ameriglide.
Why buy an Ameriglide stair lift
Each stair lift from Ameriglide uses a state-of-the-art cable drive to move the chair along the track. The Ameriglide stair lift has been designed so the cable does not move, never needs lubrication, and does not rub against itself, resulting in a safe, quiet, maintenance free drive train. Most competitors use a rack and pinion (meaning gear and teeth) drive system. The systems must be cleaned and lubricated regularly to prevent wear and tearto the components. Gear teeth can also be hazardous should a child reach into the rack area.
Ameriglide uses aircraft cable with a diameter 3/16 instead of traditional 1/8 diameter. This type of cable allows for a breaking strength of 4200 lbs. vs. 2000 lbs, so safety is never an issue.
Ameriglide off two main types of stair lift: a mains AC stair lift and a battery DC stair lift. Each type offer the user certain advantages depending on your needs.

This unit does not contain circuit boards, which are delicate, highly sensitive to vibration, and often prone to failure.
