INDOOR STRAIGHT STAIR LIFTS

Operating an indoor straight stairlift is simple: take a seat, fasten the seatbelt and push the armrest paddle control. Apply constant pressure on the paddle control (which can be located on the left or right armrest) to travel up or down the steps. Our stairlifts are engineered to travel slightly faster going upstairs than down. 

When a stairlift user reaches the top of a staircase, the rider swivels the seat to safely exit away from the stairs. The Easy Turn seat on a standard Bruno indoor straight stairlift allows the rider to turn and lock the seat at either 67- or 90-degrees, enabling them to get off the stairlift safely.

Two wireless remote controls are included with Bruno straight stairlifts to  allow the stairlift to be “called” up or down the stairs for use by a second person or to stow the stairlift on the other end of the rail. The remotes should only be used when a rider is not on the stairlift.

Seat Design

Many stairlifts are highly adjustable to comfortably fit a wide variety of body types. Width between the armrests is adjustable by over three inches.  The seat height is adjustable by over four inches, and the footrest height is also adjustable. Space between armrests on an Elan is fixed.

Our straight indoor stairlift chairs feature a padded back-rest and ergonomic design. The higher backrest on the Bruno Elite adds even more comfort. In addition to being comfortable, Bruno straight indoor stairlift chairs feature a contemporary design and color that blends in with the aesthetics of most homes.

Gain extra space on steps when the stairlift is not in use by folding up the armrests, seat and footrest.

Rail Design

Indoor straight stairlifts feature a unique vertical rail that provides a visually-pleasing, sleek design while maximizing open space on the steps. Because Bruno indoor straight stairlifts have the narrowest rail in the industry, the stairlifts install closer to the wall and create the most open space possible on the steps.

Unlike many brands that use a horizonal rail with an exposed gear rack, the Bruno indoor straight stairlift rails have a covered, inverted  gear rack on the back side of the  rail. This gives a clean appearance and eliminates exposure to grease or dirt.

Our stairlifts feature a “soft start/stop” mechanism which reduces maximum travel speed to a gentle stop at both the top or bottom.

Installation of Straight Indoor Stair Lifts 

Installing a straight indoor stairlift typically takes only two to three hours. After the rail length is cut to the correct size, it is affixed to “feet/supports” that are attached to the stairs. Approximately four “feet” are used to secure a typical indoor straight stairlift.

Our indoor straight stairlifts can be installed on either side of the staircase. At Stair Lift Contractores, we will provide a recommendation based on your staircase configuration and needs.

Why Stair Lift Contractors Should Install a Straight Indoor Stair Lift

It’s tempting for “mechanically inclined” people to want to install a straight indoor stairlift themselves. However, Stair Lift Contractors chairlifts are sold and installed by us to ensure precise and safe installations.  Because stairlifts are installed to help keep people safe, it’s extremely important for a dealer to install the stairlift to exact factory specifications and best-practices. For this reason, all Stair Lift Contractors have gone through Bruno factory training in installation and service.

Safety Features of Indoor Straight Stair Lifts

Designed with safety first, Stair Lift Contracotrs straight indoor chairlifts feature multiple safety features. In addition to the EasyTurn swivel seat system that allows a rider to exit the stairlift away from the stairs, our straight stairlifts also have safety sensors integrated into the footrest and seat carriage that will stop the stairlift if it encounters an obstruction.

All our indoor straight stairlifts use a retractable seat positioning belt.

Stair Lift Contractor indoor straight stairlifts offer a Limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on the motor; and a limited lifetime parts warranty on all other parts.  This is the best warranty in the ndustry. The motor is warranteed to the original purchaser.
  
On New Stairlifts, All parts and electronics areare warranted for two years after the date of installation.

Maintenance Tips for Indoor Straight Stair Lifts

Straight indoor stairlifts require little maintenance beyond keeping the rail clean and free of debris. Clean all rail surfaces, with exception of gear rack, with Pledge® lemon polish or similar wax-based cleaner monthly and keep the battery-charger plugged into a live outlet.

Use a mild soap and water mix for cleaning the chair and avoid using vinyl conditioners. For tough stains, try an all-purpose cleaner such as Formula 409® or Fantastic®, rinse and dry.

Remember to have a straight indoor straight stairlift cleaned, inspected and lubricated annually by a factory-trained Bruno dealer.

Power Supply for Straight Indoor Stair Lifts

Two 12v batteries power our indoor straight stairlifts, charging continuously wherever the lift stops along the rail. This allows the stairlift to operate even in a power outage, typically, for 10-15 round trips, depending on stair length, angle, and rider weight.

The charger plugs into a standard 110v household outlet, and it provides visible “red, green and yellow” charge status indicators. The charger may be plugged in at top or bottom of the staircase.

Long-Term Non-Use of a Straight Indoor Stair Lift

When an indoor straight stairlift will not be used for an extended period, turn off the circuit breaker switch on seat carriage and unplug the battery charger from the wall. When ready to use again, recharge the batteries by turning on the circuit breaker on the stairlift carriage and reconnecting the battery charger to the wall. Wait until the charger LED status lights display that the batteries are fully charged (green). 

INDOOR CURVED STAIR LIFTS

ALWAYS THE LOWEST PRICE: 1-800-551-2010

Operating a Bruno Elite indoor curved stairlift is easy: take a seat, clip the seat positioning belt and apply constant pressure to the armrest control to travel up or down the staircase. The armrest control can be installed on either side of the chair, depending on a user’s preferences.

When the stairlift reaches the top landing, the rider can safely exit the stairlift by swiveling the seat away from the stairs. A standard  Bruno Elite curved indoor stairlift can swivel and lock at 60 and 90 degrees. There is also an option for the rail to be fabricated so it extends far beyond the steps or curves.

Fold the armrests, seat and footrest when the stairlift is not in use to gain extra space on the staircase. 

A second stairlift user can “call or send” the indoor curved stairlift by using one of two wireless remote controls. The remotes are intended for when a rider is not on the stairlift.

Handcrafted Rail Importance for Curved Stair Lifts 

Bruno is the only manufacturer to handcraft custom curved stairlift rails, ensuring they precisely trace each angle, elegantly contour to the staircase, and maximize open step space.

While a handcrafted curved rail stairlift takes longer to manufacture than a machine-made rail, it’s worth the wait. In addition to an exceptional fit and appearance, the rail serves as the foundation for an extra-smooth, stable ride. Each Bruno Elite curved rail stairlift is truly one-of-a-kind!

Rail Configurations of Curved Indoor Stair Lifts 

A significant advantage of Bruno handcrafting its indoor curved stairlift rails is the ability to fabricate the rail to precisely follow every angle of the stairs and to craft it to accommodate individual needs.  For example, a popular option is to have the curved rail extend well beyond the steps or curve either 90- or 180-degrees at the top of bottom landing. This extra “park position” configuration ensures a stairlift user can get on or off the lift far away from the stairs and/or park the stairlift out of sight.

Chair Adjustability for Indoor Curved Stair Lifts 

Because Bruno Elite indoor curved stairlifts offer multiple adjustability settings, they are comfortable for a wide variety of body shapes and sizes.  The seat height is adjustable by approximately four inches and the  space between armrests by over three inches.  In addition, the footrest height is adjustable. 

A high, padded armrest and generous-sized padded seat further enhance the comfort-level of a Bruno Elite indoor curved stairlift

Color Choices

In addition to the standard warm grey seat color, there are four other color choices: cream, white, expresso and charcoal.

Power Footrest

Ideal for people with back or balance issues, a power footrest automatically raises or lowers when the seat is raised, eliminating the need to lean over.

Power Swivel Seat

A Bruno power swivel seat offers easy rotation at the top landing—just press the armrest control, and the seat automatically swivels.

Larger Seat

An optional larger seat increases the width by over 4 inches and increases the depth.  Additionally, the armrests are also able to accommodate several more inches of max width. 

Larger Footrest

A larger footrest option expands both the length and width of the footrest by 2 inches (about 51 mm for added comfort and security.)

Park Rail Positions 

Handcrafted Bruno curved stairlift rails can include a "park position" added to the top or bottom, extending the rail for safer entry/exit or discreet parking. Park positions are available as straight "overruns" or 90- or 180-degree turns.

Installation Process of Indoor Curved Stair Lifts 

On average, it takes less than a half day to install a Bruno Elite indoor curved stairlift. Only factory-trained Bruno dealers install Bruno stairlifts to ensure the most precise, safe and professional installations.  A common misperception is that stairlift rails attach to the wall; rather, an indoor curved rail is anchored to the stair treads using the minimum number of “feet/supports.”  

If the indoor curved stairlift is no longer needed, it can be easily removed by a Bruno dealer. 

Warranty of a Curved Indoor Stair Lift 

Bruno Elite curved indoor stairlifts extend a Lifetime Limited Warranty to the original owner.  The most comprehensive warranty in the industry, including all major components – motor, gearbox drive train and rail – are free of defects in workmanship or materials as long as the original purchaser owns the lift. 

All other parts are covered from any defect in material or workmanship for two years after the date of installation and all labor, provided by a Bruno dealer, to address any defect is covered for 30 years. This industry-leading comprehensive warranty is offered free of charge. 

Power Supply for Indoor Curved Stair Lifts 

A Bruno Elite indoor curved stairlift is powered by two 12v batteries that charge whenever parked at the top or bottom of the rail, enabling multiple trips even during a power outage, depending on stair length, angle, and rider weight. The charger plugs into a standard 110v outlet, with green, yellow, and red indicators showing battery status.

 For split-level homes, an optional mid-rail charging point allows the stairlift to charge at the middle landing.

Preparing an Indoor Curved Stair Lift for Extended Non-Use 

When a Bruno Elite curved indoor stairlift will not be used for an extended period of time, turn off the power  switch located near the seat, and unplug the charger from the wall. To ready the stairlift for reuse, reconnect the charger to the wall, turn on the power switch near the stairlift seat and wait until the LED light turns green on the charger to depict the batteries are fully charged. 

Safety Features of Curved Indoor Stair Lifts 

There are safety sensors on the footrest and carriage of Elite indoor curved stairlifts that will stop the lift if the stairlift encounters an obstruction on the stairs.  There is also a safety seat positioning belt for peace of mind.
