Built for Safety. Every detail of our Rubex electric powered stairlift is designed with your safety in mind. We build safety sensors into the footrest, include a locking mechanism in the seat belt, and give the motor instant reversing capability. With automatic limits at each end of the track, standard mechanical and electrical slack cable safety devices, and a fail-safe mechanism that prevents operation until the seat is in the correct position, this stairlift is one of the safest on the market today. It is ETL listed and meets ASME A17.1 and A18 safety standards for public and private use. We also include call stations for both top and bottom landings, which can be mounted to the wall or to the floor. Read more about AmeriGlide stair lift safety standards.
Easy "Homeowner" Installation. Unbelievably, the AmeriGlide Rubex electric powered stair lift simply plugs into the nearest outlet. No special wiring is needed! You can install it on either the right-hand or left-hand side of your staircase; you can even switch it from side to side without any additional parts.
Sleek Design Compliments Any Decor. The AmeriGlide Rubex electric powered stair lift is available in an attractive almond finish with your choice of vinyl seat color. When not in use, you can easily fold up the padded seat and flip up the footrest and your stair lift only takes up 14 inches of space. It's so compact, other people in your household always have full use of the stairs.

Why buy an AmeriGlide Stairlift? We can give you 10 reasons.
AmeriGlide is the quality manufacturer of stair lifts and other mobility products. There are many many reasons to buy an AmeriGlide stair lift. Check out what some of our customers have to say in the Testimonials section of our site. The following Ten Best Reasons to Buy an AmeriGlide Stair lift comes directly from the President of AmeriGlide.
- Quality: AmeriGlide refuses to have the quality of our stair lifts surpassed by any manufacturer. We back our quality up with a 10-Year Drive Train Warranty and a 5-Year Parts Warranty. Please see the warranty section of our site for details.
- Reliability: Each part of the AmeriGlide stairway lift has been designed to make sure you can depend on your lift when you need it most. Little things have been added such as a power indicator light on the track assuring you that unit is ready to use. The aircraft cable in the drive system is rated 4,200 lbs. breaking strength. A spare fuse is under the 115-volt plug so you can replace it yourself if necessary. The motor and gear have been tested in excess of 30,000 cycles equal to 16 years of use and neither showed excessive wear. Last but not least, AmeriGlide stair lifts do not have circuit boards which are prone to failure for a host of reasons from power surge, lightning, to poor construction.
- Minimal Maintenance: As strange as this may sound for a mechanical device, there is simply very little maintenance required for the AmeriGlide stairlift. Lubrication of the track is needed every 4-6 months. Nothing more! The gearbox on the AmeriGlide stairlift is completely sealed, preventing the possibility of oil leaking onto your carpet unlike most lifts that have gearboxes with vent plugs. Also, virtually all other lifts use rack and pinion gears to drive the lift. These must be lubricated with dust-collecting grease to prevent damage from occurring. AmeriGlide?s cable drive system does not require lubrication, allowing you to leave dust-collecting grease in the garage.
- Peace of Mind: The AmeriGlide stairway lift was designed to make sure nothing was missed. Footrest safety sensors stop the lift in either direction should it strike anything on the stairs. The seat is equipped with a seat belt and a safety switch that prevents the unit from running unless the seat is in its proper position. Limit switches shut the unit off in the same place at the top and bottom of the stairs automatically. This is our way of offering you and your family member's peace of mind regarding your safety.
- Comfort/Safety: The AmeriGlide stairlift has a wide, thick, padded seat that folds up when not in use. The large rocker switch on the arm of your choice and a 180-degree swivel seat make using the lift simple. The fold-up footrest adjusts give your feet support and the backrest makes sure you are as comfortable as when you are sitting in your favorite chair. Every facet of the lift was designed to enable you to relax and enjoy using your AmeriGlide Stairlift.
- Flexibility: The AmeriGlide stairway lift can be placed on either side of a staircase, and the unit control can be placed in either arm. By adding or cutting the track, you can modify the length of the unit should you ever need to relocate. Standard call controls are mounted on the floor at each end of the staircase and can be placed on the wall and operated by hand. Either location allows you to call the lift to you regardless of where the lift is on the track. This flexibility enhances the resale value of the lift, and yes, the warranty is transferable should you decide to resell your lift!
- Easy Installation: AmeriGlide stairlifts were designed and engineered from start to finish with homeowner installation as the end objective. The result is a stairlift that is unsurpassed in ease of installation. The heaviest part of the lift is 100 pounds allowing for a true one man installation. We have eliminated any stripping or connecting of individual wires and created a system that simplifies installation of the base unit onto the track.
- Technical Support/Service: Our technical department is open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm. We will not be surpassed by any manufacturer in service or support.
- Warranty: Our warranty is unsurpassed in the industry. We offer the only 5 year warranty on 100% of the component parts of our lift. No exceptions, no exclusions, no games!
- Value: The AmeriGlide stairlift is the best value in the industry today. Of course, we have the best price, but value is more than just price. We also provide all the elements that create value for our customers, including quality, service, support, reliability, and warranty. We want to thank you for considering AmeriGlide as your stair lift solution. You can pay more for a stair lift, but you can't buy more value than AmeriGlide Stairlifts. Let us help you regain your freedom with AmeriGlide Stairlifts.

Jim from Colorado Springs, Colorado would recommend this to a friend. | |
A Little About Myself | 81 yr old of below average mechanical ability. |
Pros | Not too difficult for a numbskull like me with one exception. |
Cons | Did not fully understand the adjustment of the limit switches at the top of the glide. In my ignorance I stripped out the threads on the swith away from the wall in the switch on the track. |
Service & Delivery | Outstanding |
How can I get a replacement threaded insert ?
Need badly to get it back in action as the wife and I both need it. | |

BLC from Middletown, OH would recommend this to a friend. | |
A Little About Myself | A Church |
Pros | Easy to assemble; instruction easy to understand for most part; quiet operation; attractive apppearance |
Cons | Instructions on distance from wall were
not accurate. If we had followed the instructions to the letter the seat would hit the wall. The manual called for 3.5" and we spaced our unit at 4" and the seat
just misses hitting the wall. I would prefer that lockout feature would allow you to remove the keys out in both the lockout and unlock position. Would have been nice if the mounting hardware for concrete install had been available/included. |
Service & Delivery | Delivery was very quick! |
Overall I think the unit will be very
satisfsctory for our application. | |

Pros | Safe, Sturdy |
Cons | None |
Service & Delivery | "My Representative, was great! It was his extensive knowledge and consistent follow-up that made this process super-easy. Other places tried to sell the most expensive product they had, but he took his time and never rushed me into anything. In fact he did the opposite and had me double and triple check things to make sure I was ordering exactly what was needed and tried to help save me money. He gave me tips on the install and I always knew what to expect every step of the way. I would work with him and his company (4 medical supplies) again in a heart beat!" |
It was exactly as described. The stair lift is a smooth ride and easy to use. | |

I installed the stair lift for my mother-in-law because she was having a lot of difficulty with the stairs because of bad knees. It seemed to be a very well built unit and I was impressed with the ease of installation. | |

A satisfied caregiver from Central Illinois would recommend this to a friend. | |
A Little About Myself | Caregiver |
Pros | Sturdy, Dependable, Easy Storage, Lightweight, Safe |
Cons | None |
My mother-in-law came to live with us in October of last year and all of our bedrooms are upstairs. She has many mobility problems including bad knees and hips. If it were not for the stair lift she would be a prisoner upstairs! This gives her the ability to come downstairs -- something she would not be able to do on her own. I had a problem with my sciatic nerve 1 month ago and could not walk. The lift was my lifeline as well. The company is very good to deal with and we are happy with the lift. | |
