Harmar SL300 Stairlift with Folding Rail Installed in Westfield, MA

Harmar SL300 Stairlift with Folding Rail Installed in Westfield, Massachusetts

At USA Medical Supply, we recently installed a Harmar SL300 stairlift with a folding rail in a Westfield, MA home. This model is one of the most compact, reliable, and safe stairlifts available — perfect for homeowners who want to maintain independence while maximizing space.

Why the Harmar SL300?

The Harmar Pinnacle SL300 is known for being maintenance-free, slim, and dependable. With a weight capacity of 300 lbs, it’s a practical choice for most staircases and households.

Key reasons customers choose the SL300 include:

Space-saving design with only 11″ folded width (13.6″ with folding rail)
Battery backup for continued use during power outages (40–60 trips)
Helical worm gear drive system for smooth and quiet operation
Folding rail option to eliminate trip hazards at the base of the stairs

Folding Rail Advantage

In this Westfield installation, the folding rail was the ideal solution. When not in use, the rail folds up neatly, keeping doorways and walkways unobstructed. This feature is particularly valuable in homes where staircases end near entryways or tight spaces.
