ACORN Stair Lifts power supply
ACORN Stairlifts are powered by direct current (DC),
supplied by rechargeable batteries, which deliver a
smooth, ultra-quiet and safe ride quality. The batteries
are maintenance free and charged by a safe 15 volts AC,
which is stepped-down from the domestic mains supply by
the transformer.
• The Stairlift remains operative, even if the mains
supply is interrupted
• There is no mains voltage to any of the operating
parts of the Stairlift
• There are no troublesome trailing mains cables, as
with all AC powered lifts
• Allows rapid and simple installation, without mess or
disruption
• Delivers smooth and whisper-quiet operational
characteristics
• 'Soft Start & Stop' means that there is no jolting or
lurching as the lift starts or finishes its journey.
This adds to the feeling of safety and stability.

ACORN Stair Lifts Ride Quality
The peerless ride quality is attributed to our unique
rail profile and chassis roller system, in conjunction
with the DC Power and rack and pinion drive systems.
Typically, other Stairlifts feature four, or sometimes
six chassis rollers and a box section rail. The ACORN
Superglide Stairlift has eight rollers, giving a surface
contact area at least four times greater than competitor
products, which, coupled with our unique double tube
rail profile, gives the smoothest, quietest and most
luxurious ride quality currently available, and a superb
feeling of safety and stability when using the Stairlift. |

ACORN Stair Lifts 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 |
|
 |
Swivel seat with locking catch
The stairlift seat swivels, and locks in postion, making
mounting and dismounting from the stairlift easy and
safe. The stairlift will not operate unless the seat is
in the correct riding position. |
|
 |
Choice of Control
ACORN Stair Lifts are 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 mechanical controls over-ride the
remote controls. The remote controls are ideal when
there are 2 users in the house so that the lift can be
'sent' or 'called' up - and downstairs. The wireless
design means that there is no unsightly wall mounted
wiring or control stations. |
|
 |
Pressure sensitive safety surfaces
There are 5 surfaces / edges that stop the stairlift in
event ofa collision with any obstruction on the
stairway. These are located around the footrest, and on
the top and bottom of the carriage. |
|
 |
Digital status 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 provide invaluable
diagnostic information in the unlikely event of a fault
with your stairlift. |

Are you Sure You Need a Curved
Rail Stair Lift?
On the face of it, curved rail stair lifts provide an
appropriate solution for staircases that are anything
but a straight run. However, you should consider all
options when choosing a stair lift solution for your
home.
Curved Stair Lifts are very complex pieces of equipment.
Consequently, they are hugely expensive when compared to
straight stair lifts and there are other aspects of
these lifts that you should consider carefully before
making your decision.
Curved Stair Lifts are custom-built for your particular
staircase, it cannot be relocated and therefore has no
value if and when you no longer need it.
Due to their mechanical complexity, curved rail units
are not as reliable as straight stair lifts. Whether we
like it or not, the reality is that curved rail lifts
are often troublesome in their operation.
Curved rail lifts require a highly detailed on-site
survey, prior to order and can take up to 3 months to be
built and delivered. It is neither practical nor
advisable to self-install this type of stair lift.
If your staircase has a sub-landing (a flat platform)
where it turns, you should consider the option of
installing two straight stair lifts, as an alternative
to one curved unit. This assumes that the user is
capable of transferring from one stair lift to the other
on the flat landing, of course. We accept that this is
not always possible, but are always on hand to offer
advice and guidance.
A ‘double installation’ of two
straight stair lifts from ACORN will provide the
following benefits to you.
An average cost saving of $5000.00
A neater, more reliable stair lift system
A stair lift system that is easy to remove or re-locate.
Two stair lifts that each have a significant re-sale
value
Delivery within five working days
Self-installation is easy and cost effective
