Atlas 500Straight Stairlift
An ultra-compact, battery-powered stairlift for straight staircases that you can install yourself in a day.
The Atlas 500 is assembled in the USA and designed to take up as little space as possible on your staircase. It folds to just 11 inches when not in use, runs on battery power so it keeps working during outages, and installs directly onto your stairs without wall mounting.

Product Overview
What Is the Atlas 500?
The Atlas 500 is a straight stairlift that carries you up and down your staircase while seated in a secure, comfortable chair. It is designed for staircases that run in a straight line from top to bottom with no turns or landings.
The track mounts directly to your stairs, not your wall, using a single bracket at every contact point. This makes installation straightforward and leaves no permanent marks on your walls.
At the top of the staircase, the seat swivels away from the steps so you can exit safely and easily. The seat, armrests, and footrest all fold up when the lift is parked, so the staircase stays fully usable for everyone else in the home.
The unit runs on a battery that charges automatically when parked at either end of the track. If the power goes out, the lift keeps working.
