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' switches 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 To find out more information about our stairlift, please contact us using our contact form, or phone number below.

Acorn Superglide Perch Stair Lift
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 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.

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. 
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. |
