is recommended you sit the user in a chair that is up against a wall, and
measure the distance from the wall to the users knees. Once this information
is forwarded to the manufacturer, they can assist you with determining if
you have enough room to use your lift properly.

What is the weight capacity?
Summit® Stairway Lifts have two lifting capacities. Our
Summit® Stairway Lift is rated at 300 lbs capacity. The Summit
MAX is designed for people up to 500 lbs. Both are designed for use by one
person at a time.

Is it safe?
Several features are designed into the Summit® Stairway Lift
to assure the safety of both the user and others within the home. The footrest
has safety sensors to stop the lift in either direction should it strike
anything on the stairs. A swivel safety switch makes sure the seat is in
the proper position before allowing the unit to run, and a seat belt is standard.
The aircraft cable used for lifting is rated for 4,200 lbs. and has mechanical
and electrical safeties to stop the lift if the cable is not properly tensioned.
Limit switches shut the unit off in the same place at the top and bottom
of the stairs automatically. The constant pressure controls are designed
to stop the lift the second the controls are released. This is all part of
making sure you and your family members will be safe.
