Bruno Elite Straight Stairlift: Heavy Duty, Up to 30 Stone
A Heavy Duty Straight Stairlift Built for 30 Stone
The Bruno Elite straight (model SRE-2010) is a heavy duty stairlift for straight staircases, rated by Bruno UK for users up to 30 stone (190 kg). Bruno specialises in heavy duty lifts, and the Elite has a sturdy carriage and an optional larger seat.
Unlike many stairlifts that only charge at the ends of the rail, the Elite straight charges wherever it stops, so you can park it anywhere on the stairs.
Every price is a starting price that includes installation, VAT and a parts and labour warranty (3 years on new, 2 years on reconditioned). Your exact price depends on your staircase and the options you choose, and we confirm it in writing after a free home survey.
