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.

Acorn Superglide Stairlifts : Infa-Red Remote Control
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

Acorn Superglide Stairlifts : Infa-Red Remote Control
Choice of Control

Acorn Superglide Stairlifts can be controlled by either the mechanical 'joystick' fitted to the seat arm, or by way of the infra-red remote control handset, two of which are supplied. The joystick overrides the remote controls, which 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 or control stations.

Acorn Outdoor Stair Lift

The outdoor stair lift has all of the safety and comfort features included with our indoor stair lift, but is designed and manufactured specifically for outdoor use.

A Stair Lift designed to resist the elements

All metallic components are either made in aluminum, or are oil annealed or zinc plated before powder coating. Plastic components are heat and UV resistant, protecting the stair lift from color fading and ambient heat damage.

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.

Acorn Stair Lifts: Acorn's outdoor stairlift

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.

Included with the stair lift is a durable plastic cover which will keep off accumulations of leaves and snow.


Acorn Superglide Perch Stair Lift

Acorn Stairlifts, the Superglide Perch Model

Do you have problems bending your knees?
Is your staircase exceptionally narrow (less than 24")?

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 userâÆ?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. Installation Instructions Your Stair Lift Delivery
