Indy stair lifts for steep and narrow staircases
A staircase can turn into an obstacle a little at a time. First the basement gets visited less, then the trip to the bedroom becomes something to plan around. A stair lift, also called a chair lift or stairlift, puts every floor back within reach at modest cost and with no building work.
Nationwide Lifts of Pennsylvania offers the Indy Pinnacle, made for narrow stairways, and the Indy XL, which carries up to 600 pounds.
The Indy Pinnacle is a compact stair lift with a design well suited to narrow stairways. Park it at either end of the stairs and call it when you need it.
The folded chair sits just 11 inches from the wall and the rail about six inches, which leaves generous room for anyone walking past.

You should not have to give up your bedroom, or your home, because of a flight of stairs. We install Indy stair lifts in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, the Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia that carry you between floors seated, belted and in control.
The lift travels on a slim rail screwed to the steps. There is no wiring in the walls and no structural work, and safety edges bring the chair to a halt if anything is in its path. To have your stairs measured, call 570-217-8426 or request a free home assessment.
Cost depends on the staircase and the model. Our guide to paying for a stair lift in Pennsylvania covers the price factors and the programs that may help.
Many older Pennsylvania houses have steep, narrow stairs, which we discuss in stair lifts for older Pennsylvania homes. If a wheelchair needs to move between floors, look at our wheelchair lifts, home elevators and the LUMA shaft-less elevator.
