1.
Peace of Mind The Summit stairway lift was designed by a four-man team to make
sure nothing was missed.
Footrest safety sensors stop the lift in either direction should it strike
anything on the stairs. The seat is equipped with a seat belt and a safety
switch that prevents the unit from running unless the seat is in its proper
position. 2. Comfort The Summit stairway lift has a wide, thick, padded seat available in
vinyl or rich, leather upholstery that folds up when not in use. The large
rocker switch on the arm of your choice and a 180-degree swivel seat make
using the lift simple.
A magazine rack was added to make sure every consideration was given to meeting
your needs. The fold-up footrest adjusts to two different levels to suit
your needs, and the backrest has three different positions to make sure you
are as comfortable as when you are sitting in your favorite chair.
3.
Reliability Each part of the Summit stairway lift has been designed to make sure
you can depend on your lift when you need it most.
Little things have been added such as a power indicator light on the track
assuring you that unit is ready to use. The aircraft cable in the drive system
is rated 4,200 lbs. breaking strength. A spare fuse is under the 115-volt
plug so you can replace it yourself if necessary. The motor and gear have
been tested in excess of 30,000 cycles – 16 years of use – and
neither showed excessive wear.
4.
Flexibility
The Summit stairway lift can be placed on either side of a staircase, and
the unit control can be placed in either arm.
By adding or cutting the track, you can modify the length of the unit should
you ever need to relocate. Standard call controls are mounted on the floor
at each end of the staircase and can be foot operated or can be placed on
the wall and operated by hand. Either location allows you to call the lift
to you regardless of where the lift is on the track. This flexibility enhances
the resale of the lift – and yes, the warranty is transferable should
you decide to resell your lift!
5.
Maintenance-Free
As strange as this may sound for a mechanical device, there simply isn’t
any maintenance for the Summit stairway lift. No grease, no oil, no powders,
no lubricants, no parts designed to need upgrading, no battery replacements,
no maintenance of any kind.
Unlike most lifts that have gearboxes with vent plugs, the gearbox on the
Summit Lift is completely sealed, preventing the possibility of oil leaking
onto your carpet. Virtually all other lifts also use gear racks and pinion
gears (rack and pinion) to drive the lift. These must be lubricated with
dust-collecting grease to prevent damage from occurring. Summit Lifts
believes dust collecting greases belong in your garage - not in your
home.

Security
Why use eight rollers when four will work? Why make the parts ourselves when
purchasing them overseas is cheaper? Why use an aircraft cable strong enough
to tow a car?
Why
test each lift before it is shipped? Why use UL and CSA listed components
on all electrical components? Why hand-assemble each piece? Why used standard
off-the-shelf parts allowing you to service the lift yourself once the warranty
is up?
Because
Summit Lifts refuses to have the quality of their lift surpassed by anyone.
Chassis Drive Train
1. No oil / vent plug in gear – the gearbox is sealed and is filled
with grease instead of traditional gear oil. This means no chance of leaking
or spillage. The gear is one of the largest in the stairway lift market today.
The aluminum casting used in its design allows for lighter weight to go with
its maximum performance.
2. Drive system – a belt is used between the motor and gear instead
of a direct connection as manufacturers were unable to guarantee the elimination
of key noise between a coupled drive system. It also simplifies
serviceability.
3. Motor – Through the design of a dual capacitor system, the instant
reversing motor (1/3 hp, 110vac) uses only 3 wires and runs at 6 amps at
full load. This allows installation in the home without need for a dedicated
outlet.
4. Aircraft cable – using 3/16” dia. Cable instead of traditional
1/8” dia. Cable allows for a breaking strength of 4200 lbs. vs. 2000
lbs. The cable wraps on an aluminum cast drum, grooved for each wrap. This
eliminates noise and problems caused by stack winding issues. The cable system
is direct drive – meaning there are no pulleys and the cable does not
move.
