THE CAREFREE WAY TO
CLIMB STAIRS
I love my
Stairway Lift!
When you're disabled, or just not able to move around as
freely as you once could, stairs can be a real problem.
But there is a simple answer. The powered stairway lift.
Easily installed to fit curved or straight stairs. They give
you back the ability to move around your own home.
Folds back-gets in nobody's way.
CALL OR STOP BY FOR A FREE DEMONSTRATION
It takes me up
and down the
stairs with the
push of a
button. Call for
details!
