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.

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.
