Built for daily stair transfers, travel, and fast deployment in the home, the LITE delivers the core power of a motorized stairlift is lightest full-featured stairlift on the market.
Unlike traditional installed stairlifts that require permanent rails and home modification, the LITE operates as a fully portable stairlift that climbs and descends straight staircases using motorized auto-braking traction tracks.

The lithium-ion battery can be charged on or off the unit, allowing flexible charging in homes, vehicles, or care facilities.
The LITE operates on wood, carpet, tile, concrete, and most standard indoor and outdoor stair surfaces and folds compactly to fit into the trunk of most vehicles, making it an excellent option for families who travel, snowbirds, rental programs, and multi-location caregivers.

Common Questions
Does the stairlift come fully assembled?
Yes, the stairlift comes fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box. This means you can start using it immediately without any hassle or need for additional assembly, ensuring a seamless and convenient experience from the moment it arrives.
What are the physical requirements for operating the LITE Mobile Stairlift?
To operate this LITE safely, the operator should be in good physical health and capable of handling the stairlift’s controls. We recommend that the operator be comfortable hauling the 44-pound stairlift when storing and deploying it and be able to operate it with a patient’s weight.
To test these physical requirements, the operator should comfortably support the rider’s weight while the chair is tilted back.

It takes just 2 hours to charge the battery fully, and once it's charged, you can use it for up to 100 flights of stairs up and down. This means you won't have to wait long to get back to using your stairlift, and it will keep going strong for plenty of trips before needing another charge.
