AmeriGlide: Quality Materials Means Quality Products


Stair lifts are used to help people who are mobility challenged use the stairs independently. They are sometimes referred to as stair chairs because they generally utilize a chair that is attached to a track. The track spans the distance of the stairs and depending on the model can support more than 500 pounds.

One of the bestselling brands of Stair lifts is the AmeriGlide Stair Lift. There are many reasons that the AmeriGlide brand is so popular. They use only the finest materials and have independently tested all of their products for safety and reliability. The cabling used in these units is aircraft grade, which means that it has an impressive 4,200 pound breaking point.

They have tested their each of their units for over 30,000 cycles. This amounts to over 16 years of service, and even still the drive trains have only shown normal wear. The stair lifts require little maintenance as well. With their sealed gearbox there is never a need to add oil or worry about leaks. The stair lifts merely need to be lubricated properly once every 4-6 months.

All of their units are designed with safety in mind. The foot rests have a built in sensor that will stop if it detects anything, such as shoes or clothes, in the way as it travels up the stairs. This prevents damage to the unit and also ensures the occupant will remain safe.

AmeriGlide is one of the few manufacturers of stair lifts that thinks of the customer first. Everything they do is geared towards developing safe and reliable products.
