There may come a point when the stairs at home feel more like an obstacle than a convenience, whether you are heading up to bed, down to the basement or just moving between levels. A stair lift, also called a chair lift or stairlift, solves that without taking up valuable space.
Nationwide Lifts of Missouri and Kansas installs two Indy models. The Indy Pinnacle is compact and affordable, and the Indy XL is built for riders who need a stronger, wider chair.
The Indy Pinnacle is a space-saving stair lift made for narrow stairways, where accessibility has to work within a tight layout.
The Pinnacle folds to just 11 inches from the wall, and its rail extends only six inches, which leaves extra clearance on the staircase.

The Indy XL is designed for maximum support and durability. With a lifting capacity of up to 600 lbs., it gives safe, comfortable travel to a wide range of riders.
Stairs are the most common obstacle to staying in a home you love. An Indy stair lift gets you past them safely, and in most houses it is up and running the same day the installer arrives. We serve Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Wichita.
Nothing is cut into your walls. The track bolts to the steps, the chair glides along it on battery power, and the whole unit folds flat against the side of the stairs between rides. Obstruction sensors and a seat belt are standard.
Staircase length, the model and optional features set the price, and a straight flight is the most economical. Many customers ask about insurance, so we wrote a guide to Medicare and stair lifts in Missouri and Kansas. Every quote we give is free and in writing.
Basement stairs are among the most common places we fit a lift, and our article on basement access compares a stair lift with an elevator. We also cover stairs with turns and landings and outdoor steps and decks. If the rider uses a wheelchair, a wheelchair lift or home elevator is the better fit.
