Common Questions About Stair Lift Chairs
Will a stair lift fit my stairs?
In most homes, a stair lift will fit without issue. Standard stair lifts typically require a minimum staircase width of 28 inches for a seated rider to travel safely and comfortably.
If your staircase is narrower, a perch-style stair lift may be an option, allowing the user to ride in a semi-standing position. (Call us for pricing and availability.)
In addition to width, you’ll also want to measure the total length of your staircase to ensure proper rail sizing.
What side of the stairs does a stair lift go on?
Stair lifts can be installed on either side of the staircase. When deciding, stand at the bottom of the stairs and determine whether you want the lift on the left or right side.
Your existing handrails can remain in place—stair lift brackets attach to the stair treads, not the wall.
Will you come out and measure my stairs for me?
Yes. In most areas of the United States, we can arrange for a professional to measure your stairs. This service is available for an additional fee, depending on location.
That said, many homeowners prefer to measure their stairs themselves—it’s simple, quick, and we provide clear measuring instructions to guide you through the process.

How do you use a stair lift?
A stair lift is not a wheelchair lift. If you use a wheelchair, you’ll need to transfer into the stair lift seat.
Many stair lift seats swivel at the top or bottom of the staircase, making it safer and easier to get on and off. On most models, the rider travels sideways up and down the stairs.
Is home stair lift installation available?
Yes. Professional stair lift installation is available in most parts of the U.S. for an additional cost. Please call for a quote.
That said, many of the residential stair lifts we sell are designed for DIY installation. With our written manuals and video guides, a homeowner—or a family member or friend—can typically complete a clean, professional-looking installation using basic hand tools in 3–4 hours.
A salesperson told me I could get fined for installing my own stair lift—is that true?
While some local trade groups have attempted to restrict DIY installations through lobbying efforts, there is no documented record of a homeowner being fined, arrested, or penalized for installing their own stair lift.
What is the weight capacity of a stair lift?
Weight capacity varies by model. Stair lifts are currently available with capacities of 250, 300, 375, 400, and up to 500 pounds.
Always check the specifications for each model, or call us to make sure you choose the right stair lift for your needs.

What’s the difference between AC and DC stair lifts?
AC Stair Lifts
-
Powered directly by household electricity
-
Operate as long as power is available
-
Typically louder and use bulkier tracks
-
Ideal for commercial or high-traffic environments like churches or offices
DC Stair Lifts
-
Powered by onboard 12-volt batteries
-
Recharge automatically when parked at the top or bottom
-
Quieter, smoother operation
-
Slimmer rails and a more discreet appearance
-
Continue working during power outages
What if my stairs have a turn?
Most staircases are straight, but some homes have curves or landings.
-
Curved stair lifts are custom-built to follow the shape of your stairs and typically start around $9,500, depending on design and location.
-
Homes with two straight staircases and a landing often choose two straight stair lifts—a practical and widely used solution that thousands of homeowners have successfully adopted.
In many urban areas, we can arrange for consultation, sales, and professional installation of curved stair lifts.
Will Medicare pay for a stair lift?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover stair lifts. Stair lifts are classified as a home modification, not durable medical equipment.
Some customers explore private insurance, VA benefits, grants, or financing options instead.
Do I have to pay for shipping?
-
Flat-rate shipping of $200 anywhere in the continental U.S. (Unless a Promotion is active)
-
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available at an additional cost
Do you charge sales tax?
We only collect sales tax for stair lifts shipped within Illinois. Orders shipped to other states are not subject to Illinois sales tax.
Where can I find stair lift reviews?
Please visit our Testimonials page to read real feedback from customers who have purchased and installed stair lifts through us.
Do you provide a stair lift measuring guide?
Yes—we provide a step-by-step stair lift measuring guide. All measurements should be taken in inches for accuracy.
