Stairlifts are for real people just like you 2. The folding hinged rail: A common issue is that installing a stairlift on your staircase will block your doorway or intrude into a walkway at the bottom of the stairs.
Some companies will stop the track short and let you struggle to get on and off the stairlift. The proper and best solution is a "powered" folding hinged rail or track. 3 The curving track / rail stairlift If your staircase has turns and you need to travel from top to bottom in one device then a curving stairlift is required. This video shows a stair lift in Tampa FL where the staircase had three individual flights and passed through a door mid way. The lift installation took a little over four hours and allowed the home owners mother to move in and move around the house just like any other family member. The beeping as the stairlift travels is optional and is intended to alert visually impaired stair users that the stairlift is moving. Just click the photograph below to watch the video All modern stairlits are battery powered to give a smooth start and stop along with reliability even in the event of a power outage. By the same token all modern stairlifts have a swivel seat that allows you to safely use the seat without the risk of falling down the stairs.
Most manufacturers limit the swiveling feature to top or upper level turning only. This prevents the dangerous possibility of swiveling over the open staircase which presents a serious hazard. The other advantage of a top or upper level only swivel is that the rail and chair can be positioned closer to the wall due to the geometry of the swiveling action. As an option you can request a "powered" swivel seat that automatically turns you as soon as you arrive at the top of the stairs to make getting on and off so much easier. 5. The most important part of stairlift choice is safety and reliability Florida Stairlifts Inc. is careful to only use and offer stairlift products that are absolutely safe and reliable. Unfortunately there are many products available on the internet that are just substandard, lack important safety features and lead to customer stairlift complaints. Stairlifts offered for self installation or made from a "kit of parts", utilizing old technology such as cable driven stairlifts are the main culprits and should be avoided.

Homeowners with exceptionally narrow stair cases will love the ultra-thin design of this stair lift. The lift unit takes up only slightly more than 11 inches when folded, allowing able-bodied housemates and guests optimal access to the stairs.
The AmeriGlide Rave is built for durability, with a tough all-metal case construction that withstands normal wear-and-tear far better than other comparable stair lift brands.

The Rave is compatible with any standard household power outlet, and the battery that powers the unit charges at the top or bottom of the track, providing a reserve of power that keeps your stair lift going even in the event of a power outage. An arm-mounted operation switch is included as a standard feature, along with AmeriGlide's standard array of safety switches that prevent the lift from operating if an obstruction blocks your path.
The seat swivels at the top, away from the steps, so the rider can safely exit or enter the stair lift.Best of all, the AmeriGlide Rave is a product of American ingenuity and workmanship, and every unit is manufactured right here in the United States of America!
