Features of the Summit Stairlift
 

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.
