Sandy’s Premier Source for Stairlifts, Elevators, and Lifts

Yes. A short-term rental may work well during surgery recovery or rehabilitation. Salt Lake Stairlifts currently offers a three-month straight-stairlift rental package that includes installation and removal. We’ll measure the staircase first and confirm that we have suitable rental equipment before we schedule installation.

Contact us before the rental period ends. We’ll explain extension pricing and compare it to buying a new or used stairlift. That comparison helps you decide whether continuing the rental still makes financial sense as your timeline changes.

Yes. We’ll plan the rail so the rider has room to get on and off while keeping the hallway usable. A folding rail may help when the lower section reaches into a doorway or walking path. We’ll measure the landing and recommend a setup that best fits how people move through the space.

Not always. Many staircases have enough width to keep the existing handrail in place. On tighter stairs, moving one handrail may create more walking room. We’ll measure the staircase with the lift folded before we recommend any changes.

Manufacturers build stairlifts to carry a seated rider within the model’s weight rating. Loose items may interfere with the controls or safety sensors, so follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. For everyday use, many households keep frequently used mobility aids on both floors rather than carrying them in the lift.

Start with the total installed price rather than the equipment price alone. Find out whether the company includes measurement and rail fitting. Then review the warranty and local service support. A cheaper unit may end up costing more later if it doesn’t fit the staircase or lacks nearby repair support.

Yes. Installers secure the rail brackets to the structural stair treads using hardware appropriate for the staircase. They work carefully around the finished surface to keep the mounting points clean. We’ll inspect the stairs first and point out any surface concerns before installation begins.

Start with a weight rating that comfortably supports the rider. Salt Lake Stairlifts offers 300- and 350-pound options, along with a 600-pound model for higher-capacity needs. We’ll also make sure the seat and heavier-duty equipment fit comfortably on the staircase.

A local stairlift dealer may continue servicing the unit after the original warranty expires when parts and model support remain available. Before buying, ask who handles future repairs and battery replacement. Salt Lake Stairlifts provides local support after installation, so you know who to contact.
