Notes:

1. FPM = Feet Per Minute
2. Public Building Package is optional.
Includes key switches, overspeed brake and other items required in a non-private-residence commercial installation such as schools, adult-family homes, churches, etc.
3. Standard unit includes 16' feet of straight track which is good for 12-14 steps. Times shown are for new equipment (as opposed to used), in typical private residence installations. 
4. Battery power is required in some adult-family (nursing) homes.
5. The Stair-Glide is available in many configurations including turns and landings. Some of the more complicated installations can take several days, not hours.
6. Stair-Glide custom upholstery choices are unlimited-- we can even use materials you furnish.
7. Wireless remote controls are now available.
