Acorn Stairlift Features

Acorn Superglide Stairlifts Safety Features

Acorn Stairlifts have an impressive array of safety features built in as standard. These include:

Electronic and mechanical braking systems

The stairlift is fitted as standard with these essential safety systems to eliminate any possibility of an uncontrolled descent of the stairlift.

Limit sensors

At the end of either an ascent or descent, the stairlift will come to a 'soft stop' due to the limit sensors. These ensure that the stairlift always stops in the correct position

Choice of Control

Acorn Superglide Stairlifts can be controlled by either the simple mechanical 'paddle' switch at the end of both seat arms, or by way of the infra-red remote control handset, two of which are supplied. These are ideal when there are 2 users in the house and the lift needs to be 'sent' or 'called' up and down the stairs. The wireless design means that there is no unsightly wall-mounted wiring for control stations. The paddle switches override the remote controls.

Seat Belts

For extra security and safety, the Acorn stairlift comes with an inertial reel lap harness as standard, for no extra cost. Always putting safety first.

Swivel seat with locking catch

The stairlift seat swivels and locks in position, making mounting and dismounting the stairlift easy and safe. The stairlift will not operate unless the seat is in the correct riding position.

Pressure sensitive safety surfaces

There are 5 surfaces / edges that stop the stairlift in event of a collision with any obstruction on the stairway. These are located around the footrest, and on the top and bottom of the carriage.

Diagnostic Digital Display

Mounted on the carriage of the stairlift is a digital display which shows clearly when the lift is in the normal operating position, and also provides invaluable diagnostic information in the unlikely event of a fault with your stairlift.

Slim-line design

The fold-away construction makes the Stair lift unobtrusive and allows full access of the stairs

Acorn Stairlift Options

There are a number of accessories available to complement the Acorn Superglide Stairlift. These accessories are designed and manufactured to provide comfortable, practical and cost effective solutions for people with additional mobility and physical flexibility difficulties, or to cater for more complex stair configurations.

Sit and Stand Frame

With a Sit/Stand Frame, you can choose whether to use the stairs in either the usual seated position or to stand on the footrest. With a special folding steady/security bar for stability, it is ideal for anybody who may have problems bending their knees, or where multiple users with different requirements will be using the stairlift.

The Superglide Perch Stairlift may also be suitable.

Hinged rail

The lower section of the rail folds up and out of the way when not in use, allowing greater access at the foot of the stairs. The option of a hinged rail is ideal when there may a doorway near the foot of the stairs. When the stairlift is not is use, the rail is neatly out of the way and causes no obstruction.

Seat Belt

The Acorn stairlift comes with an inertial reel lap harness as standard with no extra cost. Always putting safety first.

Key locking system

All Acorn stairlifts can be locked, preventing unauthorised use, with a key.

Acorn Superglide Perch Stair Lift

Do you have problems bending your knees?
Is your staircase exceptionally narrow?

Then an Acorn Superglide Perch Stairlift could be the answer to helping you get around all the floors in your home.

Occasionally, it is not possible to use the standard Acorn Superglide Stairlift. Perhaps this is because the stairs are exceptionally narrow, or because the user’s legs will not bend enough to allow them to sit down on the stairlift.

Acorn has especially developed the Perch Stairlift to overcome this problem.

The Perch Model is easily operated by the remote control system, or alternatively with the 'wander lead' control which can be positioned for your maximum comfort and ease of operation. As with all Acorn stairlifts, the Perch Model is available now for rapid installation.

The Acorn Superglide Outdoor Stair Lift is an ideal solution for situations involving any staircase that is exposed to the elements, including garden steps, sun decks, porches, front stoops and garage or basement steps. The outdoor stair lift is very popular with those lucky enough to live in beach homes, as it is well protected from the ravages of salt air.

Even in outdoor configuration, the Acorn Superglide Stair Lift has world renowned ride quality and performance, making it whisper quiet, smooth and stable and very easy to use.

History of Acorn Stairlifts

Acorn Stair Chair Lifts was formed in 1992 and the business started by buying, reconditioning and reselling Stair Chair Lifts, as well as buying in new lifts from other manufacturers. Within a very short space of time, demand outstripped supply and other supply options had to be taken to maintain our commitment to exceptional customer service.

Design an All New Stairlift

The obvious choice was to begin design and manufacture of Acorn's own stair lift. The Acorn Superglide Stair Lift was born, soon to become a market leader, and to this day remains at the forefront of stair lift technology.

The design of the new stairlift was consciously focused on safety, simplicity, ease of installation and simple maintenance. This ultimately 'designed out' many of the shortcomings Acorn had experienced with stairlifts from other manufacturers, while including all the best stairlift features to make our product the best!

Innovative Technology

The Acorn stair lift benefits from contemporary design and the very latest innovation in direct current (DC) battery power. This was chosen due to the inherent advantages of safety, smooth power delivery and the ability to operate normally during a mains power failure.

Acorn pioneered the use of battery power and all other stairlift manufacturers followed this lead and now offer a battery powered (DC) product, or have battery powered appliances under development. Such are the advantages of this technology.

Acorn is the now the largest supplier of Stair Chair Lifts direct to the customer. Acorn currently manufactures in excess of 30,000 new Stair Chair Lifts every year and has hundreds thousands of customers globally.

Supplying the World with Stairlifts

Acorn has as a significant presence in the North and South America, United Kingdom, Europe and Australia, Acorn has also built thousands of Dealer Partnerships worldwide. Every year tens of thousands benefit from the quality and experience of Acorn.

The core business remains the manufacture and supply of Acorn Superglide Stairlifts. Acorn focus is on one thing - stairlifts.

That’s why Acorn is the largest independent straight stairlift manufacturer in the world.

It can be quite baffling when choosing a stairlift, with contradicting claims made about various brands. It is important to make like-for-like comparisons, preferably from the actual manufacturers websites. Think carefully when buying this type of product via the internet. Your first real opportunity to clearly see the features, engineering (and limitations) of your new Stairlift, are when it arrives on your doorstep.

Acorn has a network of authorized dealers thoughout the USA where you can visit and see and try the Acorn Stairlift for yourself

There is an ever growing demand for Stairlifts in America, and there are many out dated products still available and being installed in peoples homes. These 'old style' stairlifts can be troublesome for the user - why? - because they are unreliable. Things have moved on since the days of chain drives and trailing cables.

Don't take any chances - make sure you conduct a direct like-for-like comparison of the features, technology, comfort and safety aspects of the equipment.
