AmeriGlide AC Rubex Stair Lift
An AC Rubex Stair Lift from AmeriGlide is truly a gift that keeps on giving. This is because AmeriGlide was the first to use aircraft grade steel cables on motorized drums to power a stair lift. This is a design that is carried over from the elevator industry and makes sure that your loved ones are always safe while using their AC Rubex Stair Lift. In fact, this stair lift meets ASME A17.1 and A18 requirements and is ETL listed.
Because of the AC Rubex Stair Lift's bulletproof steel cable drive system you can count on the AC Rubex Stair Lift for years of service. AmeriGlide even backs it with a 10 year drive train and 5 year parts warranty.
Unlike other stair lifts, the AC Rubex Stair Lift comes standard with a capacity up to 350 pounds and can be configured with a keyed based unit, keyed call-send controls, a grocery basket, and a cargo rack. An outdoor package is available as well, letting the AmeriGlide work in covered outdoor locations (but not completely exposed locations).

My mother-in-law came to live with us in October of last year and all of our bedrooms are upstairs. She has many mobility problems including bad knees and hips. If it were not for the stair lift she would be a prisoner upstairs! This gives her the ability to come downstairs -- something she would not be able to do on her own. I had a problem with my sciatic nerve 1 month ago and could not walk. The lift was my lifeline as well. The company is very good to deal with and we are happy with the lift. |

| BLC from Middletown, OH would recommend this to a friend. | |
| A Little About Myself | A Church |
| Pros | Easy to assemble; instruction easy to understand for most part; quiet operation; attractive apppearance |
| Cons | Instructions on distance from wall were not accurate. If we had followed the instructions to the letter the seat would hit the wall. The manual called for 3.5" and we spaced our unit at 4" and the seat just misses hitting the wall. I would prefer that lockout feature would allow you to remove the keys out in both the lockout and unlock position. Would have been nice if the mounting hardware for concrete install had been available/included. |
| Service & Delivery | Delivery was very quick! |
| Overall I think the unit will be very satisfsctory for our application. | |

| I installed the stair lift for my mother-in-law because she was having a lot of difficulty with the stairs because of bad knees. It seemed to be a very well built unit and I was impressed with the ease of installation. | |

| Service & Delivery | "My Representative, was great! It was his extensive knowledge and consistent follow-up that made this process super-easy. Other places tried to sell the most expensive product they had, but he took his time and never rushed me into anything. In fact he did the opposite and had me double and triple check things to make sure I was ordering exactly what was needed and tried to help save me money. He gave me tips on the install and I always knew what to expect every step of the way. I would work with him and his company (4 medical supplies) again in a heart beat!" |
| It was exactly as described. The stair lift is a smooth ride and easy to use. | |
