Is a stairlift right for you?

  • The stairs feel unsafe, or there has been a fall or near-fall
  • Arthritis, a heart or lung condition, or a hip or knee problem makes stairs hard
  • The bedroom, bathroom or laundry is on another floor
  • You can sit down and stand up with little help
  • You want to stay in your own home

Caregivers often make the first call, and that is fine.

Use a wheelchair full time?

A stairlift needs you to move from the chair to the seat. If that is hard, a Bruno vertical platform lift carries you and your wheelchair up porch or garage steps, with capacities up to 750 pounds. For shorter rises, a wheelchair ramp may be all you need.

Stairlift questions

How much does a stairlift cost in Michigan?

A basic straight stairlift from Clock Mobility starts at around $3,800, a custom curved stairlift starts around $10,000, and an outdoor stairlift typically costs $7,000 and can range up to $10,000 or more. Installation is added to the lift price. Your written quote comes after a free at-home measurement.

What is the difference between a straight and a curved stairlift?

A straight stairlift uses a standard rail on a staircase with no turns, so it costs less and installs sooner. A curved stairlift has a rail custom-built for your stairs so it can turn corners, cross landings or follow a spiral. Bruno’s Elan and Elite Straight Rail models are straight; the Elite Curve Rail is curved.

Can a stairlift be installed outdoors?

Yes. Bruno’s Elite Straight Rail and Elite Curve Rail stairlifts come in outdoor versions with weatherproofing for porch, deck and garden steps. Outdoor models cost more than indoor ones; see the prices above.

Do you sell used stairlifts, or buy them back later?

Yes. Clock Mobility sells reconditioned and used stairlifts, and buys back stairlifts that Clock Mobility installed. Call the nearest store to ask what is available for your stairs.

How long does installation take?

A normal install takes 4 to 8 hours on the day. Straight rails are kept in stock, so a straight stairlift can go in soon after you order. A curved rail is custom-built for your stairs and takes 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. After the install, the installer tests the lift and shows you how to use it.

Do you install stairlifts in Wyoming, Kentwood or Rockford?

Yes. Those towns are served by the Grand Rapids store, and the installer travels to your home. The same is true for Holt, Okemos and East Lansing (Lansing store), Oshtemo, Paw Paw and Plainwell (Kalamazoo store), and Acme, Interlochen and Elk Rapids (Traverse City store). See the store list above for the towns each store covers.

What happens at the at-home assessment?

A Clock Mobility specialist measures the stairs, checks the landings, the power outlet and any doors at the top or bottom, asks about the person who will use the lift, and talks through straight, curved and outdoor options. You then receive a written quote. The visit and the quote are free, there is no travel charge, and the store usually sets up the visit within 24 to 48 hours of your call.

What warranty comes with a Bruno stairlift from Clock Mobility?

A 2-year limited warranty on parts, a limited lifetime warranty on the rail, gearbox and motor, and 30 days on labor. After the warranty ends, Clock Mobility can still get factory-direct Bruno parts for your lift; parts availability is set by Bruno.

How fast can I get service on my stairlift?

Call any Clock Mobility store and you can talk to someone about the problem right away. A service visit to look at the lift can usually be set up within 3 days or less. Service calls carry a fee that depends on the distance to your home.

Can veterans get a stairlift through the VA?

Bruno holds a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract with the VA for stairlifts and vertical platform lifts, and Bruno administers it. Veterans can ask their VA care team about getting a Bruno lift through the FSS, or call a Clock Mobility store with questions.

Can I finance a stairlift?

Yes. Clock Mobility offers financing on stairlifts through several lenders. Call the nearest store and we will go over the options with you, or see our funding options page.

Can the stairlift be removed when it is no longer needed?

Yes. The rail is fixed to the stair treads, not the wall, so a stairlift can be removed and the small screw holes filled. Clock Mobility removes stairlifts; the cost depends on the type of lift and the distance.

Will a stairlift work during a power outage?

Bruno stairlifts run on batteries that charge continuously while the lift is parked on the rail, so the lift can still make trips during a short outage. Keep the lift parked at a charging point when not in use.

Does a stairlift fit a narrow staircase?

Often, yes. The seat, footrest and armrests fold up when not in use so other people can walk past. The installer checks the stair width at the assessment and will say if a particular model fits.
