6 Reasons to Choose a Summit Stair Lift
1.
Peace of Mind
The Summit stairway lift was designed by a four-man team 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. The aircraft cable has mechanical and electrical safeties to stop
the lift in place and shut down the power if the cable is not at its proper
tension. 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 members peace of mind regarding your safety.
2. Comfort
The Summit stairway lift has a wide, thick, padded seat available in
vinyl or rich, leather upholstery 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.
A magazine rack was added to make sure every consideration was given to meeting
your needs. The fold-up footrest adjusts to two different levels to suit
your needs, and the backrest has three different positions to make 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
Summit stairway lift.
3.
Reliability
Each part of the Summit 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 – 16 years of use – and
neither showed excessive wear.
4.
Flexibility
The Summit 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 foot operated or 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 of the lift – and yes, the warranty is transferable should
you decide to resell your lift!
5.
Maintenance-Free
As strange as this may sound for a mechanical device, there simply isn’t
any maintenance for the Summit stairway lift. No grease, no oil, no powders,
no lubricants, no parts designed to need upgrading, no battery replacements,
no maintenance of any kind.
Unlike most lifts that have gearboxes with vent plugs, the gearbox on the
Summit Lift is completely sealed, preventing the possibility of oil leaking
onto your carpet. Virtually all other lifts also use gear racks and pinion
gears (rack and pinion) to drive the lift. These must be lubricated with
dust-collecting grease to prevent damage from occurring. Summit Lifts
believes dust collecting greases belong in your garage - not in your
home.
6.
Security
Why use eight rollers when four will work? Why make the parts ourselves when
purchasing them overseas is cheaper? Why use an aircraft cable strong enough
to tow a car?
Why
test each lift before it is shipped? Why use UL and CSA listed components
on all electrical components? Why hand-assemble each piece? Why used standard
off-the-shelf parts allowing you to service the lift yourself once the warranty
is up?
Because
Summit Lifts refuses to have the quality of their lift surpassed by anyone.
That’s
why.
Features of the Summit Stair Lift
Chassis & Drive Train
1. No oil / vent plug in gear – the gearbox is sealed and is filled
with grease instead of traditional gear oil. This means no chance of leaking
or spillage. The gear is one of the largest in the stairway lift market today.
The aluminum casting used in its design allows for lighter weight to go with
its maximum performance.
2. Drive system – a belt is used between the motor and gear instead
of a direct connection as manufacturers were unable to guarantee the elimination
of key noise between a coupled drive system. It also simplifies
serviceability.
3. Motor – Through the design of a dual capacitor system, the instant
reversing motor (1/3 hp, 110vac) uses only 3 wires and runs at 6 amps at
full load. This allows installation in the home without need for a dedicated
outlet.
4. Aircraft cable – using 3/16” dia. Cable instead of traditional
1/8” dia. Cable allows for a breaking strength of 4200 lbs. vs. 2000
lbs. The cable wraps on an aluminum cast drum, grooved for each wrap. This
eliminates noise and problems caused by stack winding issues. The cable system
is direct drive – meaning there are no pulleys and the cable does not
move.
Customer
Features
1. Seat – the seat is wide for larger passengers and has the following
features:
Optional colors – 3 in vinyl and 3 in leather
A large, easy to use paddle switch on the armrest
A 3-position adjustable height back rest for optimum comfort
180 degree swivel as standard
2. Unit – the chassis has several unique features as well:
A magazine rack that can be used for books, newspapers, etc.
A 2 position adjustable height footrest for persons of varying height and
disabilities
Eight rollers instead of the traditional four. This gives a more consistent
ride with less movement. It also cuts in half the load on each roller eliminating
flat spots and premature roller wear
3. Track – features of the aluminum extruded track include:
A completely smooth bottom. This allows the lift to sit firmly on the stair
noses and reduces permanent ridges or marks left once the lift is removed.
Track splices located immediately next to the roller channels to provide
for an optimum ride at each splice – not on the bottom of the track.
Conduit channels in the track to reduce installation time and improve the
look of the overall installation. This eliminates holes in the wall /
stairs.
Installation &
Service
1. Weight – the heaviest component of the lift is 70lbs, allowing for
a true one-man installation.
2. Installation – if the track is cut prior to going out to the home,
this installation can be accomplished easily in 90 minutes. This is done
by providing several small, yet important features in the design:
Track brackets on the wall side only
A trough extruded in the track for use as a conduit for the call control
wires
Footswitch call controls (can be used as a wall mount if desired). These
are mounted to the floor at each end of the track
No
stripping or connecting of individual wires. Internal wires – including
the power cord – are connected via modular plugs
By
placing the hardware needed in the proper location prior to shipping, hardware
packages are eliminated.
3.
Flexibility – the unit can be cut down in length, track can be swapped
between units, or it can be reversed in the field without cutting any wires
or using any additional components. It is ideal for renting.
4. Seviceability – the electrical components are easy to reach for testing
when service is needed. Harnesses can be unplugged to perform voltage checks.
The limit switches are larger and more durable than other lifts to assure
long life.
5. Spare parts – a large number of the components are off the shelf
items available at OEM stores around the country. This allows for immediate
access to parts needed if service is required.

FAQ
What
is a stairway
lift?
It is a motorized lift that attaches to a staircase and carries a physically
challenged or disabled person up and down the stairs. A moving chair is guided
by a narrow track attached directly to the steps. The Summit Stairway Lift
requires no modifications to the structure of the home for installation.
How
much room is required to install a stairway lift?
The track on a Summit stairway lift takes up less than 10” of your
staircase. When folded up, the unit uses less than 14” space. If your
staircase is less than 36” wide, it is recommended you sit the user
in a chair that is up against a wall, and measure the distance from the wall
to the users knees. Once thisis forwarded to the manufacturer,
they can assist you with determining if you have enough room to use your
lift properly.
How
much weight is the stairway lift capable of carrying?
The Summit stairway lift is rated at 300 lbs capacity. This is designed for
use by one person at a time.
Is
it safe?
Several features are designed into the Summit stairway lift to assure the
safety of both the user and others within the home. The footrest has safety
sensors to stop the lift in either direction should it strike anything on
the stairs. A swivel safety switch makes sure the seat is in the proper position
before allowing the unit to run, and a seat belt is standard.
The aircraft cable used for lifting has mechanical and electrical safeties
to stop the lift if the cable is not properly tensioned along with a rating
of 4,200 lbs. Limit switches shut the unit off in the same place at the top
and bottom of the stairs automatically.
The constant pressure controls are designed to stop the lift the second the
controls are released. This is all part of making sure you and your family
members will be safe.
How
much will it cost to maintain the stairway lift and have it serviced?
The Summit stairway lift is unique in this area as it is the only lift on
the market that makes the claim “no maintenance needed” during
the warranty period of the lift - AND it has the longest standard warranty
of any american manufacturer, covering all parts (except upholstery wear
& tear - labor not included) for a period of 3 years.
Most other units use rack and pinion drives requiring regular lubrication
with grease. Summit believes dust-collecting grease belongs in your garage
- NOT IN YOUR HOME.
The Summit Stairlift is Made with
Pride in the USA
Summit
Lifts is proud to manufacture our stairway lift right here in the Heartland
of the United States. Your lift is hand assembled and prepared by one of
the dedicated craftsmen at Summit Lifts.
About Summit LIfts and its
Founders
We,
at Summit Lifts, bring 75 years of accessibility lift experience into
our manufacturing, service, and design.
Our goal is simply to provide you with the highest quality lift available.
To that end, we began a two-year project to design a stairway lift that would
be without equal in terms of safety, reliability, maintenance, comfort and
flexibility. A lift we could build in our own facility from scratch –
reminiscent of days when things were done the right way. No shortcuts. No
cheap substitutions.
The result: a lift that has the longest standard warranty in the industry
and the only lift requiring no maintenance for the duration of its warranty.
A lift so durable that it has a warranty unmatched in today’s market.
A lift made in America the traditional way.
Beginnings…
When Mark Hill started painting for a small company that made stairway
lifts in 1972, he was looking for a place that rewarded hard work and
determination – a place where people cared about the quality of their
work – where you were more than just a number. He worked at such a place
for 20+ years learning every aspect of assembly, production, and quality.
He was continually promoted through the blue-collar ranks to a Supervisor,
where he oversaw production of accessibility equipment for several years.
In 1981, Mike Vogt began working for that same small stairway lift
company as a draftsman. He had been looking for a good job in order to get
married to his high school sweetheart and live out the American Dream. His
10 years of designing lifts were followed by 9 more years of running the
company’s Service “Complaint” Department and retail sales
division.
Mark Jackson began his career at 19 as an apprentice in a local blow-mold
business and worked his way to becoming a CNC Machinist and Tool Maker. During
his twenty years with the same company, he learned 2D and 3D CAD software
and machine programming to create precision parts. Mark spends his free time
with his family and keeping up with the responsibilities of a homeowner.
Mark, his wife of 17 years, and 3 children are active in their church. His
dream for Summit Lifts is to provide a reliable and affordable lift for persons
with difficulty with stairs.
They each have several children – are still married to their first wives
– understand words like commitment, loyalty, integrity – and had
an undying loyalty to their company. Each of them had planned on retiring
from their jobs after 43 YEARS of service and discussed this among themselves
due to their friendship with one another – but in today’s world
of corporate buyouts and mergers, they were not allowed to fulfill this
dream.
When this happened, they discussed whether a company could be run like those
from days gone by – where faith in God and family was more important
than the bottom line – where hard work was rewarded – where the
word quality was something more than empty rhetoric. It is out of this background
that Summit Lifts, Inc. was started.
Three men- looking to make a product that helped others, running a company
where shortcuts are not an option, and believing that the words “Made
in America” still mean something.
