Q: How long does it take to install an Acorn Stairlift?
If your Acorn Stairlift has been manufactured to the exact dimensions of your home, it can take less than an hour! A curved stairlift may take longer to install, but any disruption is kept to an absolute minimum.
Before an Acorn Installer leaves your home, they will make sure that the stairlift is tested thoroughly, and demonstrate all the features – making sure you are perfectly happy and now how to use it. Of course, we’ll leave everything as clean and tidy as you had it before.
Q: What happens if there is a power outage?
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 Acorn 130 Stairlift was designed, it was chosen due to the inherent advantages of safety 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 power product. There are huge advantages of using this technology!
Q: What is the maximum weight that an Acorn Stairlift will Carry?
The Acorn 130 Straight Stairlift has a maximum user weight of 280lbs.
The Acorn 180 Curved Stairlift has a maximum user weight of 265lbs.
Acorn can also supply enhanced versions of it’s straight 130 stairlift with an increased upper weight limit, capable of carrying up to 159 kilograms. Some minor modifications make this model best suited to larger users.
Q: What is Acorn's FastTrack System?
Our sophisticated FastTrack system was created with one goal in mind – speedy installation. The reason? to help our customers get back to enjoying the home they love, quickly and with the minimum of fuss and disruption.
Q: What kind of warranty does Acorn offer?
Your Acorn Stairlift comes with a fully comprehensive 12-month warranty. If any component should fail due to faulty manufacture during the first year of ownership, Acorn will send round one of our fully trained service engineers to get your stairlift back to full working order free of charge.
After that, we have several different cover plans available to suit a range of budgets. Remember that an Acorn stairlift is a very, very reliable piece of equipment. Acorn stairlifts are manufactured to the world’s highest standards and exceed the requirements of most, ensuring safety, reliability and engineering excellence. Why not contact us and ask about our extended warranty cover plans?
Q: My staircase is quite narrow. Will an Acorn Stairlift fit?
Staircases come in many varied sizes and shapes, with ‘fans’ of steps at the top or bottom, sub-landings, etc. It’s often possible to fit a transfer platform, construct ‘infill boxes’ or use two straight stairlifts.
Any one of these options could be cheaper than a curved stairlift, and your experienced Acorn Surveyor will be able to advise you on the best option.
Q: If I arrange for a survey, will I get the hard sell?
Absolutely not! Our survey is completely free and without any obligation to buy anything. An Acorn surveyor will only come round if you specifically request it, allowing you to tell them about your individual requirements in the comfort of your home
A visit from one of our expertly trained surveyors will allow you to see what sets Acorn Stairlifts apart from any other stairlift company.
After assessing your needs our surveyor will instantly be able to give you the peace of mind of knowing exactly how affordable an Acorn Stairlift can be.
Our surveyor can then accurately measure your stairs and assess your specific needs. Once your staircase has been surveyed, our surveyor will sit down with you and guide you through the different types of stairlift Acorn can provide. You will be given your own free, fixed written quotation, and you are under no obligation to purchase – it is then entirely your decision – in your own time – whether to buy or not.
Q: I have problems bending my knees, can I use an Acorn Stairlift?
This shouldn’t be a problem! We have an option called the Acorn Sit/Stand Stairlifts. It is particularly useful for those who have trouble bending their knees due to limited knee articulation and for installations where the stairway is unusually narrow.

What Our Customers say About Us!
Acorn had best presentation and best design idea for our curved staircase. 2 other companies we got bids were using unfamiliar subcontractors (not the mfg. of the stairlift). A local med. equipment co discouraged us from even thinking about it because “stairlifts” were unreliable and they had quick installing them. The primary reason we went with Acorn was dealing directly with the mfg. and Acorn employees no subcontractors. So far, the thing is working very well!
R.B.C
I found your company through word of mouth. You came highly recommended by two families I didn’t even know. They were neighbors of friends of mine in two different states.
I was very pleased with the salesman he explained everything well and was very pleasant. The installer did a great job explaining how the chair worked and showed me how to operate it
