Because of the demand for stair lifts in the market, there are simply a lot of new and upcoming stair lift manufacturers to watch out for. However, despite of the new competitors, only four companies have managed to stand out among the rest: Summit Lifts, ThyssenKrupp Access, Acorn Stair Lifts and Bruno Living Aids Incorporated.

Founded by three gentlemen, Summit is a company that strives to prove that a company can be run just like they were run during the old days where God and family remains to be the top priority and rewards are earned by sheer hard work and not some company politics.
Throughout the years, these three gentlemen have managed to ingrain their work values to employees. Together, they worked to produce quality products that serve their customers the best way they can. They do not substitute with substandard materials and they continue to hang on to their belief that there is no other way of doing things than doing it the right way.
To prove that the tag “Made in America” still matters, the company provides each of their product a three – year manufacturer’s warranty without any maintenance – the longest warranty any stair lift manufacturer has yet to offer.
