Recommended Model: Elan Straight Indoor Stair Lift. The Elan is the most popular choice for standard straight staircases (usually 13-16 steps). With a 300-lb lift capacity, modern styling and a Limited Lifetime Warranty, the Bruno Elan gives years of reliable service at an affordable cost

While many people find a standard Elan straigth indoor stairlift best fits their needs, it is capable of being further personalized.

The Elan straight indoor stairlift is also popular for straight indoor stairways because the rail takes up less space than any stairlift on the market.
