Product Overview

What Is the AmeriGlide Rave 2?

The AmeriGlide Rave 2 / Atlas 500 is a maintenance-free straight stairlift manufactured by Harmar, in partnership with Atlas. It is the same lift offered under two names, with our support and professional installation available if you want it. It carries you up and down your staircase while seated in a secure, comfortable chair. The lift is designed for staircases that run in a straight line from top to bottom with no turns or intermediate landings.

The track mounts directly to your stairs, not your wall, using a single bracket at every contact point. This makes installation straightforward and leaves no permanent marks on your walls.

At the top of the staircase, the seat swivels away from the steps so you can exit safely and easily. The seat, armrests, and footrest all fold up when the lift is parked, so the staircase stays fully usable for everyone else in the home.

The unit runs on a battery that charges automatically when parked at either end of the track. If the power goes out, the lift keeps working.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the AmeriGlide Rave 2 and Atlas 500 the same stairlift?
Yes. The AmeriGlide Rave 2 / Atlas 500 is one stairlift sold under two names. It is not two separate or competing models.
Does this work on any staircase?
The AmeriGlide Rave 2 / Atlas 500 is a straight stairlift designed for a straight staircase without turns or intermediate landings. If your stairs have a turn or landing or are curved stairs, you may need a curved stairlift or two units placed on each straight section of stairs. Call us and we can help you figure out the right fit before you order.
Can I install this myself?
Yes. The track mounts directly to your stairs using single brackets and standard tools. Most installations are completed in one day with two people. If you prefer not to install it yourself, a local contractor can typically handle the setup.
What if the power goes out?
The AmeriGlide Rave 2 / Atlas 500 runs on battery power. It charges automatically when parked at either end of the track and keeps working during power outages.
Will this damage my stairs or walls?
No. The track mounts to the stair treads themselves, not the wall. It can be removed without significant modification to the staircase.
What if my staircase is shorter than 15.5 feet?
The track can be custom cut to your staircase length, either at the factory or on-site during installation.
Can the track fold out of the way at the bottom?
Yes, with the optional folding rail add-on. This keeps the foot of the stairs clear when the lift is not in use.
How long does delivery take?
Orders typically arrive within 7–10 business days from the date your order is confirmed.
Does Western Stairlifts install this product?
Yes. If you're located in Utah, Idaho, or Arizona, our team can handle the full installation for you. The AmeriGlide Rave 2 / Atlas 500 is also designed for self-installation, so if you're outside our service area or prefer to install it yourself, it ships with everything you need to get it done.

Self-Install or Professional Installation?

The AmeriGlide Rave 2 / Atlas 500 is designed for self-installation. The track mounts directly to the stair treads with included brackets, so homeowners can complete setup with basic tools and a second person. Read our self-install stairlift guide and installation-time guide for a fuller overview of the process. If you prefer a professional installation, see our straight stairlift installation options, our professional-installation resource, and our stairlift cost guide.
