Stair Lift - Summit Stair Lifts Features.

Footrest safety sensors stop the stair lift in either direction should it strike anything on the stairs.
The stair lift seat is equipped with a seat belt and a safety switch that prevents the unit from running unless the seat is in its proper position.
The aircraft cable has mechanical and electrical safeties to stop the stair lift in place and shut down the power if the cable is not at its proper tension.
Limit switches on the stair lifts shut the unit off in the same place at the top and bottom of the stairs automatically.
Summit stair lifts has a wide, thick, padded seat available in vinyl or leather upholstery that folds up when not in use.
The large rocker switch on the arm of your choice and a 180-degree swivel seat make using the stair lift simple.
A magazine rack is included.
The fold-up footrest adjusts to two different levels to suit your need.
The backrest has three different positions to make sure you are as comfortable.
A power indicator light on the stair lifts track assuring you that unit is ready to use.
The aircraft cable in the drive system is rated 4,200 lbs. breaking strength.
A spare fuse is under the 115-volt plug so you can replace it yourself if necessary.
The motor and gear have been tested in excess of 30,000 cycles – 16 years of use – and neither showed excessive wear.
Summit stair lifts can be placed on either side of a staircase, and the unit control can be placed in either arm.
Standard call controls are mounted on the floor at each end of the staircase and can be foot operated or can be placed on the wall and operated by hand.
Either location allows you to call the lift to you regardless of where the lift is on the track.
The warranty is transferable should you decide to resell your lift!
No grease, no oil, no powders, no lubricants, no parts designed to need upgrading, no battery replacements, no maintenance of any kind.
Unlike most lifts that have gearboxes with vent plugs, the gearbox on the Summit Stair Lift is completely sealed, preventing the possibility of oil leaking onto your carpet.
Virtually all other stair lifts also use gear racks and pinion gears (rack and pinion) to drive the lift. These must be lubricated with dust-collecting grease to prevent damage from occurring. Summit Stair Lifts believes dust collecting greases belong in your garage - not in your home.
