The need for mobility aids like in-home stair lifts is higher than ever. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that older Americans will make up a higher percentage of the total population than children by 2034. Because aging comes with its challenges, Williams Lift Company offers residents of New Jersey several types of stair lifts, allowing you to find something that works best for your needs and your available space.
Stair lifts, or stairlifts, are devices that are used to help people get up or down stairs or move onto or off raised landings. They are often used by seniors, those suffering from injuries, and those recovering from surgeries, allowing them to travel to different floors without exerting more energy than needed and without causing aches and pains.
Stair lifts generally feature a track or rail that is mounted to the staircase during installation. The track contains a chair with a built-in motor and is controlled by a switch or a remote for easy operation. These aids are specifically designed with seniors in mind, ensuring user comfort and easy operation. Their padded seats, integrated foot and armrests, and adjustable designs help users get the support and personalization they need.
Most stair lifts are battery-powered so they can be used during power outages. Their built-in battery packs are typically long-lasting and easy to charge, so they’re ready for everyday use.
One of the most common options for homes is a straight stair lift. Straight stair lifts generally feature a single track that goes straight up a staircase. At Williams Lift Company, we offer models from trusted brands like Bruno, Harmar, and Brooks by Acorn, including:
This model features a covered track, offering a clean look. It provides wireless call/send controls to allow convenient operation and supports up to 300 pounds.
This unit provides reliable performance in a compact size. It offers an upscale appearance to look great in your home and can support up to 400 pounds.
With a padded seat and backrest, a built-in footrest, and a swiveling seat, this option is designed for comfort. It also comes with a seatbelt to help secure you during use.
For people with staircases that are curved, L-shaped, or U-shaped, a straight stair lift won’t work for your space. We offer curved stair lifts, allowing those with mobility concerns to maneuver their homes effortlessly. Because not all curved staircases are the same, our experts will need to evaluate your space and custom-fit your stair lift to your available setup. They can even be made to fit spiral staircases. Williams Lift Company offers curved stair lifts from Bruno, providing customers with high-quality, long-lasting options.
If your space requires a completely unique option, we offer custom stair lifts that can be personalized to suit your needs. These options can be further customized by optional add-ons, like overruns that extend the stop position, the ability to move the chair away from the top or bottom of the stairs when parked, and more.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, Williams Lift Company offers used stair lifts for sale. Through our buy-back program, we purchase gently used models, give them a detailed inspection to ensure they are working properly, and resell them at a discount. Most of these models were originally purchased through our company, so you can trust they’re reliable and built to last.
If you live in New Jersey and think a stair lift in your home could be a viable solution for your accessibility needs, reach out to our team. We offer professional installation services that leave you with a strong, sturdy, and dependable setup that will last for years. Our professionals have over 50 combined years of experience, allowing us to handle simple or complex jobs. We also address any questions or concerns and discuss usage guidelines and tips for safe use, so you feel comfortable once we’re gone.
Should you need repairs down the road, our factory-trained technicians can come out and ensure everything is working right. They are trained to perform work on all Harmar, Brooks by Acorn, and Bruno stair lifts, even if they were purchased from another company. In most cases, our team will head over within a day or two, allowing your unit to get up and running in no time.
While the cost of the stair lift will vary based on the model, straight models are typically quite a bit less expensive. The average cost of a straight stair lift is around $3500, while curved models tend to cost around $14,000 on average.
At Williams Lift Company, we work diligently to provide our customers with quality products and services in a timely manner. After meeting with you in your home and assessing your space, we’ll be able to give you a free estimate for the work. Once you’ve agreed to an installation, our team will make it out as quickly as possible, which is usually between four and eight weeks when it comes to curved models.
Not at all. In most cases, our professionals can have the entire installation complete in less than one day.
Yes. Because we mostly mount stair lifts directly to the staircase rather than the wall, removal can be completed by our team in only a few hours.
No one should have to suffer because of accessibility issues within their own home. At Williams Lift Company, we offer residents throughout New Jersey different types of stair lifts to fit their needs and their budgets. We even provide rentals if you need a short-term solution due to injury, post-surgery recovery, or a visit from a friend or family member who struggles with mobility.
