The Acorn stair lift is 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 stair lift remains operative, even if the mains supply is interrupted
- There is no mains voltage to any of the operating parts of the stair lift
- 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 near silent 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 Superglide Stair Lift 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 stair lifts feature four, or sometimes six chassis rollers and a
box section rail. The Acorn Superglide stair lift 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 stair lift.

Our stair lift has an impressive
array of safety features built in as standard. These include:
- Infra red remote control
- Swivel seat with locking catch. The swivel seat ensure easy mounting and
dismounting from the stair lift. The lift will not operate unless the seat is in the
correct riding position.
- Pressure sensitive safety surfaces that prevent the lift from colliding with any
obstruction on the stairway. These are located around the footrest, and on the top and
bottom of the carriage
- Electronic and mechanical braking systems, to eliminate the possibility of an
uncontrolled descent.
- Limit sensors to ensure that the stair lift always stops in the correct position
- Diagnostic status lights - Mounted on one arm of the seat, these show 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 stair lift.
Choice of Control
The Acorn Superglide Stair Lift is 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.
Acorn Superglide Stair Lift Accessories
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. |

| Perch Model -
allowing the user to ascend/descend in the semi-seated position, being particularly useful
for individuals who have limited knee articulation, or for applications where the stairway
is particularly narrow. 
|
 |
| Occasionally it is not possible to use the standard Acorn Superglide
stair lift. 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 have
especially developed the PERCH MODEL stairlift to overcome this problem.
The perch model is available at no extra cost. It is easily operated by the remote
control system, or alternatively with the wanderlead 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.

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. A good example of the application of a hinged
rail is when there is a doorway at or near the foot of the stairs, and where a fixed rail
would obstruct the doorway. Acorn Superglide Stair Lift can be fitted with a 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.
