Why Test Ride a Stair Lift?
There is a ton of information on stair lifts that you can gather online, whether it be stair lift guides, videos, and pictures. However, nothing compares to being able to see and test ride the lift before deciding that it is the best solution for you.
Taking the time to test-ride a stair lift before purchasing it can make the decision process much easier for you. It’ll provide an opportunity to feel the comfort of the seat, smoothness of the ride, and speed of the lift. It will also enable you to better determine if an upgrade option, such as a manual folding rail or powered footrest, is needed to further maximize safety and comfort.

Expert Tip: While it is not required, we do recommend taking a few pictures of your staircase with your smart phone before making a trip to our showroom. The pictures will allow our stair lift expert to get a better idea of what type of lift you’ll need, and be able to better estimate the cost of the lift that you’ll need. Measurements of the width and length of the staircase would be great to have as well.

Lifeway Mobility San Francisco's "go-to" stair lifts are Bruno's Elan and Elite (straight & curved) because of their durability, safety features and robust warranty.
Bruno’s straight stairlift models are built with a narrow vertical rail design, which allows for installation on straight staircases that are 32” or wider. The Bruno curved rail on the other hand has a steel rail design that must be custom built to fit the curves and turns of each individual staircases.
Upgrade Options for Stair Lifts
There are several upgrade options for the Bruno stair lifts that are sometimes needed depending on the mobility of the person in need of a stairlift. One of the straight Bruno Elan models in our showroom is standard (without any options) and the other is equipped with three powered options -- swivel seat, folding folding footrest and folding rail. We have these options available for customers to to test to see if they could use one or more of them to further enhance safety.
Our experts can help determine if an option is needed for you or your family member when learning more about your staircase, the lower and upper landing areas, and watching you or your relative get on and off the lift in the showroom. Below is a list of the stair lift options that are most commonly added by our customers (when needed):
Manual or Power Folding Rail - This option is recommended when the rail extends into a hallway that receives a lot of foot traffic to prevent it from becoming a trip hazard. It is also recommended when the lower landing of the staircase is near a doorway. Available for straight rail Bruno stairlifts and the Handicare Freecurve- Power Folding Foot Rest - A great option if the person in need of the lift has hard time bending
when sitting or standing. Allows you to conveniently fold the footrest up or down with a push of a button rather than having to bend while sitting to fold it up. - Power Swivel Seat – Perfect option if the person in need of the lift is unable to swivel the seat manually. With the power swivel seat, the seat will swivel away form the stairs automatically with a push of a button (located on armrest).
