Acorn Stairlift

There are a number of accessories available to complement the ACORN Superglide Stair Lift.
These accessories are designed and manufactured to provide comfortable, practical and cost effective
solutions for individuals with additional mobility and physical flexibility difficulties,
or sometimes for more complex stair configurations.

Acorn Stairlift Features

Electronic and mechanical braking systems

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

Operating local throughout Long Island, we are one of the Local leading suppliers of new stairlifts and reconditioned stairlifts.
Along with our unique Stairlift Repair service, we have firmly established a reputation for quality, customer satisfaction
and value for money.

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

An Acorn stairlift can be controlled via 2 methods, a simple 'paddle switch' and the infra-red remote control.
The 'paddle switch' control is located at the end of both arm rests of the stairlift and can be operated by hand.
You will receive two infra-red remotes with every stairlift which enables you to call the stairlift to either end of the stairs.
The infra-red remote is wireless so there are no messy cables trailing around your home,
or unsightly wall mounted control stations.If both remotes are used at the same time,
the paddle switches will override the remote controls, that means that the person on the stairlift will be in control of the stairlift.

Seat belts

All Acorn stairlifts come with an inertial reel lap harness, this is like a seat belt in a car, and will keep you securely
on the seat of the stairlift at all times. Safety is a priority when going up the stairs.

Swivel seat with locking catch

To allow easier mounting and dismounting of a stairlift, an Acorn stairlift comes with a swivel seat.
The swivel seat locks in position via a catch located on the seat which enables you can use the stairlift with ease.
The stairlift will not operate unless the seat is in the correct riding position, this means that you can be confident
that your journey on the stairs will be safe and secure..

Pressure sensitive safety surfaces

If there is an obstruction on the stairs, our stairlifts will detect it with at least one of the five pressure sensitive
surfaces situated around the stairlift. If an obstruction is detected, the Acorn stairlift will cease movement
so you can move the obstruction. The pressure sensitive surfaces are located around the footrest and
the top and bottom of the stairlift 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. Also it provides invaluable diagnostic information in the unlikely event of a fault with your stairlift.

Slim-line design

The fold-away construction makes the stairlift unobtrusive and allows full access of the stairs.

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.

 Key Locking System

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