Lift Broken Right Now? Call Us Immediately.
Don't wait days for a service appointment. A lift stuck mid-track or refusing to move isn't just inconvenient — it can leave someone stranded on the stairs, so we treat it as urgent. We respond fast, including after hours.
800-527-4060If Your Lift Is Doing This, We Can Fix It
We've diagnosed and repaired virtually every fault there is. Most issues fall into a handful of categories — a mechanical fault (drive gear, track, or motor), an electrical fault (battery, charging contacts, or control board), or a safety-sensor false trigger — and knowing which one you're dealing with usually points straight to the fix. If your lift is showing any of the signs below, call us — most issues are resolved on the first visit.
Lift Won't Move at All
Could be a tripped circuit, failed battery, faulty key switch, or motor issue. We diagnose the exact cause and fix it on the spot.
Unusual Noises or Grinding
Grinding, clicking, or squealing often points to worn drive gear, track debris, or a lubrication issue. Left untreated, these worsen — we fix them quickly.
Battery Not Charging
If the lift works briefly then stops, or shows a low-battery warning, the charging contacts or battery pack may need attention. We carry spares on the van.
Remote or Controls Not Responding
Faulty handsets, a failed control board, or a damaged joystick. We test the full control circuit and replace only what's needed.
Fault Codes or Error Lights
Modern lifts display error codes that point to specific faults. Our technicians know what every code means across every major brand.
Lift Stops Mid-Journey
Obstruction sensors triggering falsely, a track alignment issue, or a safety circuit fault. We identify and resolve the exact cause.
Seat, Footrest or Armrest Problems
Damaged upholstery, a stiff swivel mechanism, or a non-folding footrest. We repair or replace components quickly to restore full comfort and safety.
Annual Servicing & Safety Check
Even a working lift benefits from an annual inspection. We clean, lubricate, test all safety systems, and flag any wear before it becomes a breakdown.
From Your Call to a Working Lift in Three Steps
We keep it straightforward. No waiting weeks for a quote, no unexplained charges.
-
01Call or Book Online
Tell us what's happening with your lift — is it silent and unresponsive, making noise, stopping mid-track, or throwing an error code? Each symptom points us toward a different likely cause, so a good description over the phone often lets us bring the right part on the first visit. We'll get a technician to you as soon as possible — same or next day in most cases.
-
02Diagnosis & Clear Quote
Our technician inspects the lift thoroughly — motor, drive gear, track alignment, battery, control board, and safety sensors — identifies the fault, and gives you a clear, upfront quote before any repair work begins. No surprises.
-
03Repair & Full Test
We carry common parts on every van so most repairs are completed the same visit. Before leaving, we run a full safety test — checking the seatbelt sensor, obstruction sensors, and emergency stop — to make sure your lift is working perfectly.

Stair Lift Repair FAQs
The questions we hear most. Something not covered? Just give us a call.
-
Yes — we service and repair all major brands regardless of who installed them. Acorn, Bruno, Harmar, Stannah, AmeriGlide, Handicare, Savaria, and more. If you're not sure whether we cover your brand, just call us.
-
We aim for same or next-day response for most service calls across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. After-hours support is also available — call us at 800-527-4060 any time.
-
Try these quick checks before calling: (1) confirm the power is on at the socket; (2) make sure the lift is seated correctly on the charging points at the top or bottom of the rail; (3) check that the key switch is inserted and turned on; (4) ensure the seatbelt is fully buckled and clicked in, since most lifts won't run with an unlatched belt. If none of these resolve it, give us a call and we'll take it from there.
-
Cost depends on the fault and any parts needed. We diagnose the issue first, then give you a clear, upfront quote before starting any work. You'll never receive an invoice that surprises you.
-
Yes. An annual service visit extends the life of your lift and catches wear before it becomes a breakdown. We clean, lubricate, and run a full safety check on every component. Ask us about service plan pricing when you call.
-
Possibly — if your lift is still within its manufacturer's parts or labor warranty, the repair may be covered at no cost. Have your installation date ready when you call and we'll check your eligibility before quoting anything. Out-of-warranty repairs are always quoted upfront before any work begins.
-
We'll give you an honest answer. If repair costs approach the value of a replacement, we'll tell you — and if a new or refurbished lift makes more sense, we can help with that too. We'd rather give you the right advice than charge for an unnecessary repair.
-
Once a year for most home stair lifts, or more often if the lift is used many times a day or sits outdoors. An annual service visit covers cleaning and lubricating the rail and drive gear, checking the batteries and charging contacts, and testing every safety sensor, the seatbelt, and the emergency stop. Regular stair lift maintenance is the simplest way to avoid a breakdown.
-
On most models, a continuous beep means the lift isn't charging, usually because it was left parked away from the charging point at the top or bottom of the rail, or the power at the wall socket is off. Move it back to the charging point and check the socket. If the beeping continues, or the display shows an error code, the batteries or charging contacts may need attention. Call us and we'll diagnose it.

Yes.
