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 Stairway Climber 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 Stairway Climber
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 users 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.

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 Stairway
Climber. The Acorn Superglide Stairway Climber was born, soon to become a
market leader, and to this day remains at the forefront of Stairway Climber
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 Stairway Climber 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.

Modern Stairlifts, like the Acorn Superglide Stairlift, are state of the
art, in terms of design and manufacture, yet are so simple to install and
maintain.
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.

We have put together a handy guide so you can see what all of the codes mean.
I've heard that circuit boards are unreliable, is this
true?
I've heard that circuit boards are unreliable, is this true?
Some other stairlift companies may tell you " Do NOT buy a stairlift
that contains a circuit board. Circuit boards simply do not hold up when
they are constantly being vibrated and jarred. " or that circuit boards
"... are delicate, highly sensitive to vibration and static electricity,
and prone to failure. "
If this was true would they be used in cars, washing machines and other
common-place modern electrical goods?
The Acorn Stairway Climber are very reliable, with a phenomenally low breakdown
rate. With well over 100,000 lifts installed around the world. We would not
use a component that could leave our customers stranded without being able
to use the stairs.
So don't believe anybody that tells you circuit boards are unreliable!
How much do replacement batteries cost?
How much do replacement batteries cost?
The batteries that power the Acorn Stairway Climber are very common,
off-the-shelf items, available from any battery supplier. With normal use,

If I decide I need an Acorn Stairlift, how long will
it be before it is installed?
If I decide I need an Acorn Stairlift, how long will it be before it is
installed?
We appreciate that when the need for one of our stairlifts has been realized,
people tend to want it fast!
The answer will very much depend on your location. After you have made your
decision you could have a straight stairlift installed in your house in a
matter of days. For a curved stairlift it will take longer due to the need
to have your staircase accurately measured first before your custom rail
can be built to fit.
But here at Acorn we will make sure that what ever the cicumstances you will
be kept informed as to the progress of your order and we will make sure you
can be back enjoying the freedom of your home as quick as possible.
If you'd like to get a no-obligation quote or find out more please
contact us and we will make sure you have all you questions answered.
The user of the Stairway Climber has some problems
bending their knees - or the stairway is quite narrow. Will the Acorn Superglide
fit?
The user of the Stairway Climber has some problems bending their knees
- or the stairway is quite narrow. Will the Acorn Superglide fit?
Shouldnt be a problem! We have a option called the Acorn Superglide
Perch. It is particularly useful for those with limited knee articulation
and for installations where the stairway is unusually narrow. If the staircase
is at least 26" (66cms) wide, the Acorn Superglide Perch will do the job.
The stairway has a turn in it. Can I still install
an Acorn Superglide Stairway Climber?
The stairway has a turn in it. Can I still install an Acorn Superglide
Stairway Climber?
In many cases, yes. If the
stairway has a sub-landing at the turn, its often possible to fit two
straight Stair Chair Lifts and save yourself $$$$ on the price of one curved-rail
lift. Please contact us and we will go through all of the options available
to you.
What is the Returns Policy?
What is the Returns Policy?
Stair Chair Lifts are custom made product. The track is cut to the length
of your stairs and custom made based on which side of the staircase to mount
the unit. As this is a custom made product, cut to your specifications, it
is non returnable. Once the manufacturer has cut the track, your order becomes
non-refundable.
What happens if there is a power failure, will I be
stranded?
What happens if there is a power failure, will I be stranded?
An Acorn Stairlift is battery powered and will continue to work even
if you have a power cut. Acorn pioneered the use of DC (battery) power in
stairlifts. When the Superglide Stairlift was designed, it
was chosen due to the inherent advantages of safety, smooth power delivery
and the ability to operate normally during a power failure. All of Acorn?s
stairlift competitors have followed this lead and now offer a battery powered
product, or have one in development. Such are the advantages of this
technology!
A fully charged battery will complete approximately 15 to 20 trips (return)
an average staircase. The actual number is dependent on the length of stair,
angle of staircase and the weight of the user.
