As North Carolina's premier provider of home elevators,

the lifestyle you deserve. To us, “lifestyle”
is defined by your personal needs. Whether it’s the
luxury of an elevator in the new custom designed home of
your dreams, or it’s bringing your loved one back
upstairs to the bedroom you have spent your lives sharing,
at American Elevator, your needs are our priority.
What is a stairlift and how does it work?
A stairlift is a motorized chair on a
track that is secured to your staircase. With a
Bruno stairlift provided by American Elevator, there are
no structural changes made to your home and the lift glides
along stairs without marring walls. With a push of a button,
you are gently and securely carried over stairs. When not
in use, the seat, arms and foot rest fold compactly to provide
ample space for others using the stairs. We can also install
your lift on either side of the stairway, so you decide
where to put it! At American Elevator, your comfort and
safety are our top priority. That’s why all of our
stairway lifts include a seat that swivels away from the
stair, providing a safe and comfortable way to get on and
off the lift. Our lifts are designed to ensure a smooth,
comfortable ride that will let you confidently maintain
your lifestyle and freely enjoy your whole house.
Will the stairway lift work for someone who also uses a wheelchair?
Access lifts can be useful for someone who has limited mobility.
With our swiveling seat, access to and from wheelchairs
is much easier than on some of our competitors' non-swiveling
models. Convenience features built into our lifts include
folding arms that push up and out of the way, soft padded
seats, and on some models you have the option of adjustable
seat heights.
What about safety features?
All of American Elevator’s stairway lifts are engineered with multiple safety features for your peace of mind. A multi-point safety system includes sensors that stop the lift if something blocks its path, a seatbelt for added security, and brakes that will stop the lift should something go wrong with the drive system. The swivel seats ensure an easier, safer transition from sitting to standing positions. And, the swivel seat locks your seat in place when it’s swiveled away from the landing and ensures the seat swivels only at a landing and not during the ride. Power outages are not a concern because all stairlifts are battery operated and continue to transport you up and down even with electrical interruptions. At American Elevator we have a commitment to quality that ensures nothing will prevent a smooth and safe ride.
Why Include An Elevator?
It wasn't that long ago that it was rare to find a whirlpool bathtub in a home...now they seem to be the norm. Just the same it's not uncommon now to find a home elevator in the plans of single-family homes and condominiums. In addition to the family that simply wants the convenience of an elevator; some families need one for family members or guests who have difficulty traversing the stairs. In the past, these families would often settle for a one-story home, sometimes requiring that they leave a home they already lived in and had grown to love. Now, with residential elevators being so affordable, more people are considering this option. Over 10,000 residential elevators are installed each year and the number is growing as more builders and buyers discover their many advantages:
Surprisingly Affordable
The cost for a residential elevator is also lower than many people think...costing no more than an extra guest room or third car garage in many cases.

Is a home elevator safe?
The answer is yes, when used properly. The elevator, when installed by American Elevator has several safety devices.
Doors - all landing doors are mechanically locked and can only be opened when the elevator is at that floor. The door cannot be opened while the elevator is traveling between floors.
Power failure - the elevator is equipped with a battery operated safety feature which returns the elevator to the designated floor. Emergency lighting comes on to illuminate the cab interior.
