RELIABILITY COUNTS. ELECTROPEDIC SINCE 1964
The single most important consideration when buying any stairlift — indoor, outdoor, or curved — is reliability and long‑term service support.
Everything else (features, price, weight capacity, comfort) matters, but none of it matters more than knowing the lift will work every day and that you have a dependable company standing behind it when you need service.

Navigating your home safely shouldn’t feel like an uphill battle. For seniors, individuals living with limited mobility, or families caring for loved ones with physical disabilities, the staircase can transform from a standard architectural feature into a serious safety hazard. Every year, millions of adults face the difficult choice of remodeling their homes, moving into single-story residences, or entering assisted living facilities simply because they can no longer navigate multi-story configurations safely.
Fortunately, modern accessibility technology provides a practical alternative. Residential home stairlifts allow you to stay in the home you love by transforming any staircase into a secure, smooth path of transit.
At Electropedic-Kraus Stair Lifts, we believe that your comfort is everything. Since 1964, our family-owned and operated company has dedicated itself to providing the highest quality electric home care equipment. Led by Lloyd Kraus and third-generation specialists Zachary Kraus, Paul Kraus, and Ryan Kraus, we are passionate about helping our clients age in place safely.
If you have questions about home modifications or want to explore our inventory, we invite you to call our mobility specialists directly at (800) 727-1954 for an expert consultation.
A stair lift (frequently referred to as a stairlift, chair lift for stairs, stairway chairlift, or motorized stair chair) is a specialized mechanical device designed to safely transport individuals with physical challenges or limited mobility up and down a staircase.
Unlike a residential elevator or home lift, which requires major construction, extensive structural modification, and load-bearing walls, a home stairlift installs directly onto your staircase steps via a discrete rail system.
The Motorized Track (The Rail System) Peoria Stair Lifts: The low-profile track is securely mounted directly to the stair treads (never the drywall or wall framing). It houses either a rack-and-pinion gear or a rolling cable drive system to glide the carriage smoothly.
The Battery-Powered Carriage Gilbert Stair Lifts: The motorized drive unit sits hidden beneath the seat structure. Modern units use continuously-charging DC batteries. This ensures that even during a sudden power outage, your lift will continue working for dozens of trips, keeping you safely connected to all levels of your home.
The Mobility Chair (The Seat Assembly) Glendale Stair Lifts: A comfortable, ergonomic seat equipped with a sturdy seat belt, folding armrests, and a folding footrest. Higher-end models feature thick, padded upholstery, adjustable seat heights, and a manual or power swivel seat that rotates at the top landing so you can exit safely onto flat ground, away from the stairs.
Safety Sensors & Control Interfaces Chandler Stair Lifts: Pressure-sensitive obstruction sensors line the edges of the footrest and motorized carriage. If a stray object, pet, or grandchild is on the stairs, the lift instantly stops before making contact. Controls include easy-to-use toggle switches or ergonomic joysticks located on the armrest, as well as wireless remote controls to "call" or "send" the lift from one floor to another.
Stairway chairlifts are not designed exclusively for individuals who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters. In fact, they are universally beneficial for anyone for whom walking up and down stairs causes physical exhaustion, joint pain, or vertigo.

├─► Seniors & Older Adults (Preventing catastrophic falls)
├─► Post-Op & Rehabilitation Patients (Recovering from orthopedic surgery)
├─► Individuals with Progressive Illnesses (MS, ALS, Advanced Arthritis)
└─► Wheelchair & Power Chair Users (Paired with VPLs or transfer support)
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among senior citizens. Age-related changes in balance, inner ear function, vision, and cognitive awareness make negotiating steep steps exceptionally dangerous. A residential stairlift eliminates this daily anxiety.
Conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), severe osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis can significantly impair physical strength, coordination, and leg stability. Motorized chair lifts accommodate fluctuating energy levels and muscle weakness, ensuring users remain independent even on difficult days.
Individuals recovering from major operations—such as a total knee replacement, hip replacement, spinal fusion, or cardiac surgery—frequently experience severe short-term physical limitations. For these situations, an affordable stair lift rental or a certified used stair lift can offer an excellent, budget-conscious, temporary solution.
Standard stairlifts typically accommodate weights up to 300 lbs. However, robust bariatric configurations, such as the heavy-duty Bruno Elite Straight Stair Lift, feature reinforced steel components and wider seating profiles designed to lift up to 400 lbs safely.
The decision to install a motorized chair lift goes far beyond adding a piece of medical equipment to your house. It is a profound lifestyle investment that impacts safety, finances, and emotional well-being.
Preventing Catastrophic Traumatic Injuries: The primary reason families contact Electropedic-Kraus Stair Lifts at (800) 727-1954 is safety. Eliminating the physical act of climbing stairs helps prevent debilitating fractures, concussions, and severe muscle strain caused by missteps or dizzy spells.
Preserving Autonomy and Emotional Dignity: Relying constantly on family caregivers or professional nurses to carry out basic daily tasks can feel demoralizing. A personal home stairlift restores your freedom, allowing you to move between floors independently whenever you choose.
Substantial Financial Savings Over Assisted Living: The cost of relocating to an independent or assisted living facility can easily exceed $4,000 to $8,000 every single month. In contrast, purchasing a permanent straight or custom curved stairlift is a one-time investment that saves tens of thousands of dollars by allowing you to modify your existing home instead of moving.
Peace of Mind for Long-Distance Caregivers: For children and family members who live far away, knowing that an aging parent has a reliable, professionally installed accessibility device removes immense emotional stress and constant worry about potential accidents.
Modern accessibility engineering allows manufacturers to build customized rail profiles for nearly any residential layout. Understanding your specific staircase design is the first step in determining what type of equipment you need.
| Staircase Type | Structural Characteristics | Best Product Matches |
| Straight Staircase | A single flight of stairs connecting two levels with zero turns, bends, intermediate landings, or pie-shaped steps. | Bruno Elan SRE-3050, Harmar SL300 Pinnacle, AccessBDD HomeGlide Indoor |
| Curved Staircase | Staircases with 90-degree turns, 180-degree switchbacks, intermediate landings, spiral designs, or arched architectures. | AccessBDD Flow X, Handicare 4000 Custom Curved, Bruno CRE-2110 |
| Outdoor / Exterior Stairs | Open-air stairways leading down to docks, outdoor patios, backyard decks, hillside walkways, or front porches. | HomeGlide Outdoor, Bruno Elite Outdoor exterior stairway lift |
| Wheelchair Entryways | Steps where a user cannot transfer from a wheelchair into a standard stairlift seat. | MACS PL50 & PL-72, Bruno VPL3100 Vertical Platform Lifts |
Tight Hallways & Doorway Obstructions: If the lower end of the metal track blocks a doorway or creates a tripping hazard in a high-traffic hallway, a manual or power hinged rail can be added. This allows the bottom-most piece of the track to flip up and out of the way when the lift is not in use.
Extremely Narrow Stairways: For historic homes with very narrow corridors, the AccessBDD Flow X Curved Stair Lift is a remarkable choice. It features intelligent, automated active swivel technology that rotates the chair smoothly while moving, ensuring your knees and feet never clip the opposing wall.
Vertical Platform Lifts (VPL) & Porch Lifts: When a traditional seat won't work, a vertical wheelchair elevator—like the MACS PL50—acts as an open-air elevator platform. This lets a wheelchair or mobility scooter user roll directly onto the non-slip platform, press a button, and lift smoothly up to 50 or 72 inches to access raised porches or decks easily.
Many homeowners delay modifying their living spaces because they view mobility aids as a concession to aging or injury. However, waiting until after an emergency hospital visit is a risky and preventable choice.
You should strongly consider reaching out to Electropedic-Kraus Stair Lifts at (800) 727-1954 if you recognize any of the following warning signs:
Physical Avoidance of Entire Floors: If you find yourself avoiding the upper or lower levels of your home entirely, abandoning your upstairs master bedroom, or sleeping on a downstairs couch to avoid the trip, your home's accessibility needs attention.
Significant Physical Symptoms: Experiencing heavy shortness of breath, sudden lightheadedness, or intense joint inflammation in your knees and hips after completing a flight of stairs is a clear signal from your body that stairs are becoming unsafe.
The "Clinging" Navigation Strategy: If you find yourself gripping the handrails tightly with both hands, pulling your weight up heavily, or stopping to rest several times along the way, your risk of a sudden fall is highly elevated.
A Near-Miss Incident: If you have experienced a slip, trip, or loss of balance on the steps within the past year, it is crucial to address the problem immediately before a more serious injury occurs.
Purchasing an electrical mobility device requires careful consideration of mechanical configurations, user physics, and financial realities. At Electropedic-Kraus Stair Lifts, we help streamline this process to ensure a stress-free experience.
Every home and staircase layout is entirely unique. Our factory-trained specialists will visit your residence to take highly accurate measurements, calculate the exact angle of incline, examine your structural landings, and check for surrounding doorway clear paths. We will also carefully evaluate the user's specific physical needs, weight capacity requirements, and joint flexibility to identify the perfect seat ergonomics.
Because we are authorized factory dealers for over 5 major manufacturers, we do not push generic, one-size-fits-all products. We analyze models across multiple leading brands to find your best fit:
Bruno Independent Living Aids: Masterfully engineered and manufactured in North America; highly reliable.
AccessBDD & Handicare: World-renowned for European design innovations, ultra-compact single rails, and advanced automatic swivel engineering.
Harmar Mobility: Famous for highly efficient, lightweight tracks like the Pinnacle SL300, which features an innovative oversight-free gear rack that requires absolutely zero messy grease or lubrication.
We strongly believe that home accessibility should be affordable for every family. To make this possible, we offer comprehensive purchasing flexibility:
Brand New Equipment: Full factory warranties with state-of-the-art features for long-term reliability.
Certified Pre-Owned & Refurbished Lifts: High-quality used stairlifts are available at 1/2 OFF the regular new retail price.

Short-Term Rentals: Ideal for temporary post-operative rehabilitation or family members visiting for a few months.
Flexible Financing & Trade-Ins: We buy, sell, and trade equipment to help structure low, comfortable monthly payments.
Warning on DIY Kits: Attempting to install a stairlift on your own using generic online kits is highly dangerous. A minor calculation error can lead to a mechanical failure or a catastrophic derailment.
