Specifications are taken from published manufacturer and dealer information and can change. Weight limits and warranties vary by seat and option, so always confirm them in your written quote. Which companies can quote depends on your ZIP code.

How to read the comparison

Weight capacity is the most the lift is rated to carry. Choose a model with some headroom above the user's weight; heavy-duty models also have wider seats.

Folded width is how far the lift sticks out from the wall with the seat, arms and footrest folded. On a narrow staircase, a smaller number leaves more room for everyone else.

Warranty terms are often split: many brands cover the motor and gearbox for longer than the other parts. Labor cover usually comes from the installer, not the manufacturer.

The staircase decides the price far more than the brand does, and the same model can cost different amounts from different installers. Your guide price takes your own staircase into account.
