Straight Stairlift Models by Altamira Ltd.

The Elan (SRE-5000) is Bruno's best-selling straight indoor stairlift, with a 300 lb capacity and the narrowest rail on the market — it installs within 5 inches of the wall. The Elite (SRE-2010) is Bruno's higher-capacity model at 400 lb, with a larger available seat and footrest for a wider range of body types. Both come with the same battery-powered reliability and Limited Lifetime Warranty on the motor, gearbox, and rail.

SRE-3050 is on the same Elan platform as the current SRE-5000 — same direct-drive motor, same narrow vertical rail, same 300 lb capacity. Bruno and Altamira use it as an updated parts equivalent for SRE-5000 units already in the field, so if your lift is labeled SRE-3050, it's not an outdated or unsupported model — Altamira services it exactly the same way.

Yes. The SRE-3000 was an earlier generation of the Elan, since followed by the SRE-3050 and current SRE-5000. Altamira's technicians continue to service, repair, and source parts for SRE-3000 units, so you don't need to replace a working lift just because a newer model number exists.

The Power package bundles Bruno's power options onto either the Elan or Elite — a power swivel seat, a power folding footrest, and a power folding rail. It's not a separate stairlift, just the same base lift with these upgrades included, and it's a great fit for riders with limited grip strength or reduced ability to bend down and fold the seat by hand.

Some power options can be added to an existing lift, but it depends on your specific unit and rail configuration. Altamira's technicians can evaluate your current stairlift during a service visit and let you know which power upgrades are compatible.

They share the same 400 lb capacity and core mechanics, but the SRE-2010E is built specifically for year-round outdoor exposure — weather-resistant seat materials, a lightweight protective cover, and an anodized aluminum rail rated for 0°F to 125°F. Because of that added exposure, it carries a 5-Year Limited Warranty rather than the indoor models' Limited Lifetime Warranty.

For the Elan (SRE-5000), installed cost typically runs $4,000–$6,000, depending on staircase length and any added power options. Elite and outdoor models generally run higher given the increased capacity and weatherproofing. Altamira can give you an exact quote after a free in-home consultation.

It depends on rider weight, staircase length, and whether the lift needs to handle outdoor conditions. Altamira's mobility specialists will walk your stairs and recommend the right model — Elan or Elite, standard or Power — during a free consultation.
