Bruno is quick to explain that their stair lifts are not just for handicapped, but are for eveyone who feels a bit of a pinch going up and down stairs, and would like to bring peaceful flow into their everyday lives. This by effortlessly gliding from one floor to the other, and having the whole house to themselves without the struggle.
Bruno Independent Living Aids manufactures these models of straight rail indoor stair lifts: Electra-Ride LT, Electra-Ride II, and Electra-Ride Elite. Bruno's curved stair lift is named Electra-Ride III, model CRE-2110.
Electra-Ride LT
The Bruno Electra-Ride LT is designed as a battery powered straight stair lift that packs a good number of features into a budget-minded stairlift. It is intended to provide just about anyone the capability of allowing themselves the luxury of effortlessly traveling between floors of their home. The most prominent features besides the affordable price in Electra-Ride LT are elegant, covered rail that will enhance the image of your stairs, the generously sized seat, the flip up feature for the seat, the arm rests, and the foot rest to save space on the stairs when the unit is not in use, and the smooth start/smooth stop feature.
Electra-Ride II
The Bruno Electra-Ride II is designed as a safe, reliable, and versatile straight stair lift. It features fold-away arm rests on the seat that allow an easy transfer from a wheelchair. This, besides the adjustability of the arm rests from 22 inches to 25 inches, is the biggest advantage of Electra-Ride II. The time-tested rack-and-pinion drive will provide this chair lift with a reliable ride with no hesitations.
Electra-Ride Elite, Model SRE-2010
Bruno Electra-Ride Elite is not for everyone. It offers an elegant, slim, streamlined design that fits into the most elegant of homes. A true combination of safety and reliability.
The slimline design starts with the rail - it takes only 6 inches of space measured from the wall, thereby leaving the stairs largely available for anyone who chooses to use the stairs in a conventional way. A slimlined, foldable, seat will offset-swing out at the top and bottom of the stairs, allowing for an easy exit that will not cause you strain in your mid-torso.
Electra-Ride III, the curved rail model
Bruno Electra-Ride III is a battery powered elegant stair ride that will complement any curved stairs. With its elegant design, it will in fact enhance the look of your curved stairs. Besides the good looks, the Electra-Ride III also sports a solid, 400 lbs. carrying weight capacity, which could classify the Electra-Ride III half-way towards the heavy duty category. Additional features that will make your ride more comfortable and safe include the offset swivel seat, the digital diagnostic display, and adjustable seat heights and widths.
Several options can be installed - multiple upholstery colors can be picked up, the powered swivel seat option, the powered folding option. If your stairs have a flat landing mid-stairs, the mid-stairs charging station can be installed also.
