Two families, one Stairlift.
Almost 50 years ago, two families came together to provide the Mountain States a Stairlift solution second to none. The resulting partnership has provided the most experienced, professional, and financially sound source for Stairlifts in the Mountain States. Even more recently this partnership has encompassed many areas outside of the Mountain States as the values it represents are still a needed and saught after Assett few companies are willing to adopt regardless of the product they may sell.
The Stannah Family
The Stannah Family Company was founded in London England by Joseph Stannah in 1867. The company originally specialized in building lifts to load and unload goods from ships on the London Docks.
Today Stannah Limited is owned and operated by the 5th generation of Stannahs. These grandsons and granddaughters of Joseph Stannah are involved in the daily operations of this powerhouse of a manufacturer still today. Stairlifts are now their business and have been since the early 1970’s. The Stannah family operates the most successful stairlift manufacturing company in the world.
The Hyde Family
In 1962 Larry Hyde became one of the five original founders of the production stairlift business in the United States. Larry sold the first production stairlift west of the Mississippi in the United States in the spring of 1962.
Going forward Larry grew the Stairlift business rapidly, becoming one of the most significant drivers in the industry. Larry was providing each of the Mountain States, stairlifts by 1976. He was working with a variety of manufacturers as he sought out a manufacturer that he would eventually shift all the Mountain States business over to. He was searching for a stairlift that did not attach to the walls, was manufactured in such a way that the stairs were usable by others in the home as well as a manufacturing partner that would not build only a “one size fits all” stairlift. These three major items were not being addressed by any of the manufacturers at the time.
From the beginning of this unique partnership formed between two family companies, consumers in the Mountain States have enjoyed a wide product range, unique pricing arrangements, unique warranties, and exclusive guarantees. Consumers cannot find these unique benefits at any other other Stannah distribution point in the United States.
One of just three TRIPLE Diamond Stannah Partners WORLDWIDE. Stannah in the Mountain West has been recognized as a Triple Diamond Partners for Each of its stores, year after year, longer than any other Stannah Partner company.
Through this decades old partnership, and still today “Stannah in the Mountain West” has serviced 1/5 of the continental U.S. as the premier and preferred Stannah Distribution point. This foot print only grows larger every year as the values they represent are saught out by consumers everywhere.
Due to the general architecture, and the fact people in the mountain states remain in their homes longer than any other area in the United States, this geographic area represents the largest stairlift market in the United States. GROUND ZERO for stairlift growth in the U.S.A. This has only been compounded by the Population from both coasts recently making a great exodus to the Mountain States as a retirement destination. The Partnership the Hyde family made with the Stannah family is only strengthened by this constant growth.
Stannah into the modern age.
Relevant and Competitive.
Prior to the early 2000’s, a Stannah Stairlift was seen world wide, only as THE premier stairlift choice as well as the most full featured lift available.
This resulted in Stannah stairlifts often being “Premier Priced” as well. The Stairlift market was larger in the United Kingdom than anywhere in the world, one of the major influences was the United Kingdom’s NHS (National Healthcare System).
Truly Partners
For many years Stannah looked to their U.S. partners and subsidiary for input into product development through test marketing different models, features, and pricing in an effort to offer stairlifts to a wider audience. Increasingly competitive markets, and consumers becoming more savvy every year, Stannah could have never captured, or kept their 70% world market share, if their lifts were considered the “Cadillac” of Stairlifts.

Unfolded, ready to use. A low footrest, sturdy arms and adjustable seat height make it easy to get into the chair.
One-step folding avoids the need to bend down to fold up the footrest. This improves safety at the top of the stairs.
Folded, the Starla stairlift leaves room for people to walk up and down the stairs.
Wall Mounted chair recovery
The seat belt can be used with one hand, and is mounted on one armrest, so it’s easier to reach than a car seat belt.
The chair rides smoothly up or down the stairs, and stops automatically when it reaches the far end.
Sensors stop the chair if it touches an obstruction.
When swiveled at the top landing, the back of the chair blocks the stairs, for safety.
