At ACME Home Elevator, we've never met a set of stairs we couldn't put a lift on. Stairlifts can run on either side of the stairs. They can take an inside or outside curve and maneuver through landings — easily managing 90 and 180-degree turns. (The stair diagrams show you how they work.)

Yes. In fact, there are models specifically manufactured with outdoor conditions in mind. An outdoor unit is weatherized to protect against the elements and comes with a chair cover. To prevent unauthorized use by others, it is equipped with a keyed operation system.

It depends on the manufacturer of the lift, but a stair chair can accommodate up to 350 pounds.

Many stairlifts provided by ACME Home Elevator operate on battery power when you've lost power to your home.

Stairlifts are called many different names, including stairglide, stair chair, chair lift, battery-powered chair, stairway lift, stairway elevator, staircase chair and stair climber. They're also thought of as home medical equipment and durable medical equipment.

Medicare does not cover the cost of a stairlift. Some private insurers do. Check your policy or talk with your agent to determine what applies in your situation.

In more than 30 years of the founder's experience the only regret he's heard is: Why did I wait so long?
