Avalon A300 Stairlift

Safety, Standards, and Engineering Leadership

The Avalon A300 is built to meet the requirements of the ASME A18.1 Safety Standard for stairway chairlifts. Our engineering team participates directly on the ASME A18.1 Committee, the group responsible for developing the safety codes used across North America.

This involvement ensures the A300 reflects not only today’s requirements, but the direction of future safety expectations. Every system—mechanical, electrical, and software—is designed with long‑term reliability and clear, predictable behavior in mind.

Avalon designs for clarity, consistency, and user confidence. Safety is not an add‑on; it is the foundation of the product.

Lower Lifetime Cost and No Forced Service Contracts

Many stairlift brands rely on proprietary tools, encrypted diagnostics, and mandatory service plans. These systems create long‑term dependency and add significant cost over the life of the product.

The Avalon A300 is engineered differently. Routine maintenance can be performed by the owner, and the diagnostic display provides clear, plain‑language alerts that are easy to understand and easy to search.

  • Owner‑serviceable design with no locked‑out systems.
  • Straightforward diagnostic messages in plain English.
  • Uses standard 12V batteries and widely available components.
Our goal is simple: a stairlift that remains dependable, understandable, and affordable to own for many years.

Most straight stairlifts cost between $3,000 and $8,000 installed. Avalon is positioned within this range while including features—such as power swivel and a full diagnostic display—that are often optional elsewhere.

By eliminating mandatory service contracts, owners avoid the $300–$1,000 per year that many brands require. Over a decade, this represents $3,000–$6,000 in avoided cost.
