While evaluating stair lifts for your home, don’t overlook an Acorn stair lift. Acorn has created a great reputation worldwide with more than one hundred thousand units installed. Their reputation of being able to provide a safe, and effective solution for almost any staircase has made them one of the most popular models available.

No matter what type of stairs you have inside or outside of your home, an Acorn stair lift system can be designed to make you mobile again. If you have a curved or spiral staircase, Acorn has a great solution. The rail attaches securely to the stairs, not requiring attachment to a wall, so is able to follow the curve or your stair easily. With the modular design of an Acorn stair lift, you buy just the pieces needed to fit your home’s staircase, and not a lot of additional pieces you will never be able to use.

There are many other features of the Acorn stair lift you will really enjoy in your home. Start off with the quiet operation. With an Acorn stair lift, you are likely not to even hear the unit as it moves up and down the stairs. The motor and rail system are nearly silent. No one will even be aware you are moving about the house.

The next feature many people really enjoy is the swivel seat. By just releasing a simple lever on the side of the seat, you can turn the seat to sit down, then turn back into the riding position. When you get into riding position the seat locks into place ready for riding. As a safety feature, the swivel seat must be locked into the riding position before the Acorn stair lift will move up or down the stairs. The seat also includes a high quality retractable seat belt, just like in your car. The seat belt keeps you safe and secure during your ride.

To make sure your ride up and down the stairs is completely secure the Acorn stair lift uses five sensors to detect any obstacles in the path of your ride. If an obstacle is detected, the lift comes to a stop to allow you to clear the obstacle. If you cannot safely clear it from the stairs by yourself, you can reverse direction to your previous floor, until someone can assist you.

An Acorn stair lift is extremely smooth on both the starts and stops. This can be considered both a comfort issue, and a safety feature. A jerky start or stop could cause you to lose balance on a lift, and Acorn has made sure there is no risk with its extremely smooth operation.

You also get a choice of how to control your Acorn stair lift. You can use the controls built on to the lift chair, or use the infrared remote control. For safety of the rider, the paddle controls on the lift seat always take priority. The rider has the ultimate control of the seat, keeping them safe from children playing with the remote.

No matter whether you need a stair lift for indoors or outdoors, straight straight or curved stairs, even for wide or very narrow stairs, there is an Acorn stair lift to fit your needs. An Acorn stair lift is one you can trust for many years of safe riding.
