American-Engineered Independence
Your Trusted Avalon Stairlift Solution
Climbing stairs shouldn't hurt. It shouldn't terrify you. And it definitely shouldn't force you to avoid entire sections of your own home. We understand — mobility challenges are frustrating, isolating, and deserve a real solution. That's why we chose Avalon Stairlifts: the only stairlift designed, engineered, and manufactured right here in the USA by the team that invented the first battery-powered stairlift more than 40 years ago. Our company specializes in selling, installing, and supporting premium Avalon stairlifts built to restore independence and dignity to people navigating multi-level homes. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or simply looking for a safer, smarter way to move between floors — we have an Avalon solution engineered specifically for your situation.
Why Choose an Avalon Stairlift?
TeraDrive™ Powertrain
Purpose-built in the USA. High-torque, low-noise, sealed-for-life gearing with two independent emergency safety brakes and a 12-roller carriage system — far beyond the 4–8 rollers found in most stairlifts.
ICCC™ Always-On Charging
Forget parking at a dock. Avalon's Integrated Continuous Contact Charging keeps the lift topped up anywhere it stops — no flat batteries, no unnecessary service calls.
AvalonSOS™ Diagnostics
Full-sentence plain-English messages on a bright display — never cryptic blinking codes. You'll always know exactly what your lift is doing and what to do next.
Patented Power Recliner & Swivel
The Power Seat-Lift tilts you forward for safer standing. The Power Swivel faces you toward the landing for a stable, secure exit. Engineered for the moment that matters most.
No Contracts. No Surprises.
No auto-renewing service contracts, no $300+ annual fees. DIY battery replacement via a simple slide-out tray — a Home Depot swap, not a technician teardown.
Ultra-Low-Profile Rail
Avalon's patented rail sits directly on the stairs — not suspended in the air — with up to 80% fewer holes in your staircase. Discreet, stable, and built to look like it belongs.

MediTek USA is now supported by Avalon Stairlifts USA
MediTek’s long-standing engineering legacy continues forward under Avalon Stairlifts USA. MediTek’s U.S. operations were restructured, and support now continues under Avalon’s dedicated American organization. The same founder who helped shape MediTek’s original engineering direction now leads Avalon’s U.S. development, ensuring continuity, reliability, and long-term support for MediTek owners.
Learn more about founder Kevin G. Strafford‑Price on our About page .
The History of MediTek Stairlifts (1990–2026)
MediTek Stairlifts began in the early 1990s in the North East of England, where Kevin Strafford‑Price—who co‑developed the first battery‑powered stairlift drive and continuous‑charging rail technology in the late 1980s—worked with his engineering partner to create one of the UK’s most respected battery‑powered stairlift brands. Over the next three decades, MediTek produced nearly 200,000 stairlifts worldwide, supplying a broad dealer network across Europe, North America, South America, and Australia.
In 2018, the MediTek brand was acquired by Royal Otolift Stairlifts, the largest stairlift manufacturer in the Netherlands. MediTek’s straight‑rail models were reintroduced as the “Otolift LINE,” and the company’s history is now included in Otolift’s official timeline . The MediTek stairlift although an aging platform remained well regarded by dealers and technicians for its simplicity and reliability. Its successor, the Avalon Stairlift, has been redesigned from the ground up specifically for the American market, addressing the need for a dedicated U.S. support channel.
European stairlifts, while excellent in their home markets, do not always align with U.S. building standards, staircase geometry, or electrical requirements. These differences highlighted the need for a purpose‑built American approach.
Avalon Stairlifts USA continues the MediTek legacy with a clean‑sheet U.S. design philosophy—preserving the simplicity and reliability that defined MediTek while ensuring full compatibility with American homes and safety expectations.
