Harmar Stair Lifts are a relative newcomer to the stair lift market. Harmar has with its recent purchase of Summit Company dramatically increased its presence in the electric stair lift arena. Before the acquisition, Harmar already offered a lineup of wheelchair lifts, scooter lifts, as well as wheelchair and mobility scooter ramps and vertical platform lifts and incline platform lifts.

The purchase of Summit enlarges this offering towards products that people can use inside a home. Since the Summit acquisition, Harmar has introduced the new, innovative stair lift called Pinnacle Indoor Premium stair lift. Let's review here the entire Harmar stair lifts product line. It consists of a straight Pinnacle Indoor Premium stair lift, straight stair lift Summit, Heavy Duty Summit Max, and Summit Outdoors.

Harmar Pinnacle Indoor Premium stair lift

Harmar Pinnacle Premium chair lift is the most recent introduction into the stair lift marketplace. The Pinnacle distingishes iself with the up to 75 feet long track, and the innovative, low energy consumption rack-and-pinion drive. This is very important as the Pinnacle is a battery powered stair lift. The new, patented drive mechanism consumes half the energy of other stair lifts, therefore extending the battery life dramatically. Even when the power is out temporarily, the Pinnacle will be able to perform many many round trips safely on a single charge.

Harmar Summit SL350 AC or DC stair lift

The Summit SL350 can be installed either with the DC or the AC power drive, depending on your preference. If you prefer a more powerful option, and have solid, interruption free electric power in your house, you would probably want to opt for the AC version. When the safety of knowing that you will be able to ride the stair lift even when the power is cut is important to you, the DC version may make more sense.

The SL500 has up to 500 lbs. carrying capacity and is capable of transporting an overweight person up to 20 feet up and down the stairs. Due to the heavy duty construction, the rider will during the ride with the SL500 face down stairs, which is unusual, but improves stability of the system. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, the 180 degree swivel will bring the passenger to a comfortable and safe exit position.

This is the outdoor version of the Summit SL350, with the necessary trappings including the weatherproof rail and carriage, as well as the protective covers for the additional protection from the elements.
