Five different power lift recliners from Golden Technologies and Pride Mobility that stand you up gently and recline to zero gravity.
Pride Mobility
Pride's feature-packed Ultra adds VivaLift! Tilt, which rocks the seat back so your knees rise above your heart, on top of true-infinite positioning. Heat pads in the shoulders, lumbar and seat, a lower-back massage, a power headrest, hideaway cup holder and wireless phone charger are all standard.
Golden Technologies
Golden's patented Twilight Tilt tips the whole chair base back, armrests included, for a deep zero-gravity cradle, combined with MaxiComfort positioning. It is a five-zone chair built for long hours of comfortable rest.
Golden Technologies
Golden's small-to-tall favorite comes in sizes from petite to extra-wide, with the signature pocketed-coil seat, extended padded arms for steadier transfers and two-zone MaxiComfort recline.
Golden Technologies
The original MaxiComfort chair features an adjustable three-pillow waterfall back, plush rounded arms and an extra-wide chaise pad for lower-leg support, with a programmable AutoDrive hand control for favorite positions.
Golden Technologies
One of Golden's most popular chairs pairs an overstuffed bucket seat and biscuit back with two-zone MaxiComfort positioning. Sizes run up to heavy-duty versions rated for 600 lb.

How the chair movesStair lift chair buyer's guide
Most stair lift chairs climb a toothed rack with a pinion gear, a proven and affordable design. Harmar's Pinnacle line uses a grease-free helical worm drive, and Savaria's Handicare 1100 uses a friction drive with no gear rack at all. Each approach trades a little cost for cleaner rails or a quieter glide.
Keeping it runningStair lift chair buyer's guide
A stair lift chair needs little more than an annual check of batteries, sensors and hardware. Warranties range from two years on parts to limited lifetime coverage on drives and rails, and local service matters more than the paperwork, so buy from a dealer who installs and repairs what they sell.
Choosing a railStair lift chair buyer's guide
The first question is the shape of your staircase. A single, uninterrupted flight takes a straight rail, which ships from stock, installs in a few hours and costs the least. Any turn, landing, spiral or fan step needs a curved rail that is measured, fabricated and bent to your exact stairs, usually in one to three weeks.
Choosing an environmentStair lift chair buyer's guide
Outdoor lifts use sealed electronics, marine-grade or vinyl upholstery, stainless or anodized hardware and a fitted cover. The mild climates of California and Arizona are well suited to outdoor packages from Bruno, Savaria, Harmar and AccessBDD for porches, hillside entries, pool decks and garden steps.
What to budgetStair lift chair buyer's guide
New straight stairlifts from the four major American and European makers typically start around $3,000 installed, while custom curved lifts generally begin near $9,000 and rise with rail length and complexity. Certified pre-owned straight rail lifts from our used inventory can cut that in half (used lifts are straight rail only, since curved rails are custom-made for one staircase), and short-term rentals are available for recovery after surgery.
How installation worksStair lift chair buyer's guide
Straight rails bolt to the stair treads, not the wall, so no structural changes are needed. Curved rails are photo-measured with calibrated camera systems, then fabricated and installed in a single visit. Our technicians handle electrical, top-landing brackets and folding rails for doorways at the bottom of the stairs.
What keeps you safeStair lift chair buyer's guide
Every model on this page includes a seatbelt, obstruction sensors on the footrest and carriage, a swivel seat that locks at the top landing and battery backup that keeps running during a power outage. Capacities range from 275 lb on compact curved lifts up to 600 lb on the Harmar Pinnacle SL600HD.
Sixteen home residential straight-rail stair lift chairs from Bruno, Harmar, Savaria-Handicare and AccessBDD. Straight rails install in hours, cost the least, and are the only type we can offer certified pre-owned at half off.
Bruno Independent Living AidsStraight indoor
Bruno's best-selling straight lift is built in Wisconsin around a slim vertical rail that sits tight to the wall and leaves most of the tread open for family and pets. It is the value choice in the Bruno line without giving up American build quality.
Bruno Independent Living AidsStraight indoor
The Elite is Bruno's signature straight lift, known for a notably quiet, smooth ride and a larger, more supportive chair. Power swivel and power folding footrest options make getting on and off easier for riders with limited strength.
Bruno Independent Living AidsStraight outdoor
Built for porches, decks and entry steps, the outdoor Elite uses marine-grade vinyl, outdoor-painted steel and a cover that travels with the chair. It is rated for temperatures from 0 to 125 degrees, which covers even a desert summer.

Harmar MobilityStraight indoor
The SL300 uses Harmar's patented nylon-polymer gear rack and helical worm drive, so there is no grease on the rail to collect dust or pet hair. It folds to one of the most compact profiles in the industry, a strong fit for narrow tract-home and ranch-house staircases.
Harmar MobilityStraight indoor
The SL600 steps up to a larger, more comfortable seat while keeping the Pinnacle's grease-free drive and slim 10.5 inch folded width. An automatic folding rail option clears doorways at the foot of the stairs without the rider pressing a button.
Harmar MobilityStraight indoor
With a 600 lb rating, the SL600HD carries more weight than any other residential stairlift on this page. It adds a wider padded chair, a taller backrest and a retractable seatbelt for bariatric riders who need extra stability during transfers.
Savaria CorporationStraight indoor
Savaria's most affordable model relies on a proven rack-and-pinion drive and offers a choice of two seat styles. Folded, it takes up a little under 11 inches from the wall, and a manual flip-up rail can remove the tripping hazard at a lower doorway.

Savaria Corporation (Handicare)Straight outdoor
With its outdoor package the Handicare 1000 adds water-resistant, UV-protected components for porch steps, patio stairs and garage entries. The enclosed rack keeps debris out of the drive, a real advantage on exterior stairs.

Savaria Corporation (Handicare)Straight indoor
The 1100 uses a patented friction multi-drive with no toothed gear rack at all, giving it the slimmest, most elegant rail in Savaria's line. A unique slide track moves the rail out of the way as the chair travels, and a fold-up hinge clears lower doorways.

A vertical platform lift carries a wheelchair or scooter rider straight up to the porch without transferring out of the chair. A ramp needs a foot of length for every inch of rise, so a 48 inch mobile-home porch would need a 48 foot ramp; a porch lift fits in about a 5 by 5 foot footprint.
Mac's Lift Gate, Inc.Vertical platform lift
Built in Long Beach, California by a veteran-owned family company, the PL-50 is the classic mobile-home porch lift. It runs on household current, includes an emergency hand crank and a folding safety ramp, and carries an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty.
