Inclinator Company of America

Inclinator's heritage of innovation and performance.

Helping people live easier, more comfortable lives isn't anything new for Inclinator. The notion began in 1923 when C.C. Crispen, a Pennsylvania entrepreneur, created a way to enable his ailing friend to travel from floor to floor. Crispen's idea? Design a seat that could climb stairs. A self-taught engineer, Crispen built the first prototype of the inclining chair. He called it the Inclin-ator. In 1928, C.C. Crispen introduced the Elevette^® elevator, an alternative for homes with winding staircases. Wheelchair lifts, dumbwaiters and stair package lifts were added later to complete the product line.

Still family-owned, and handmade one at a time.

From creating the most customizable products and maintaining our obsession with quality craftsmanship to preserving a history of proven reliability and providing outstanding customer service, Inclinator Company of America is committed to being an industry leader.
