Pride Mobility Lift Chairs - A Look Back

In the early 1980's, American's who suffered from limited mobility saw relief in the form of power lift chairs. The earliest of models were nothing more than everyday recliners with lift mechanisms. Imagine a Lay-Z-Boy with a spring lift attached to a button - while not quite as primitive, you get the idea. These early lift chairs were DANGEROUS - there was no gradual lift here, if you weren't prepared for it and accidentally pressed the wrong button, the unsuspecting user could be thrown from their chair. Not only that, these recliners were not designed to be constantly lifted off the ground, and over time the frames would break under the added pressure. Then came Pride Mobility.

Pride Mobility came to be in the late 1980's, when consumers were sick of jimmy-rigged lift chairs that lacked safety and reliability. Breaking away from the norm, Pride decided to start from the ground up. By beginning with the design of the frame itself, Pride built liftchairs that were purpose built and could withstand the stress of being lifted multiple times on a daily basis. Not only that, but they did away with the spring based lift mechanism entirely. Instead, they replaced spring lifts with electronic lifts. Groundbreaking at the time, these new electronic lifts offered superior safety and performance, giving users a smooth lift from beginning to end, as well as the ability to stop mid-motion. As time went on, competitors could not compete with such a winning design. As such, those that could not conform usually declared bankruptcy. Today, only 2 major liftchair manufacturers remain.

Since the early days, Pride has expanded their product line, offering additional mobility devices such as electric wheelchairs, scooters, and lift ramps. However, lift chairs have always been their bread and butter, and their current product offering is top notch. There are currently four different product lines: the elegance collection, heritage collection, classic collection, and specialty collection. While all lines offer the same basic functionality, each line offers different features, options, and accessories designed to meet anyone's needs.

If you're in the market for a power liftchair, there is no doubt that Pride Mobility will rapidly rise to the top of your list. Building upon nearly three decades of making lift chairs, they are clearly an industry leader and will provide a quality lift chair that is designed to last for years to come.
