The Stair Lift is fitted as standard with these essential safety systems to eliminate any possibility of an uncontrolled descent of the Stair Lift.

At the end of either an ascent or descent, the Stair Lift will come to a 'soft stop' due to the limit sensors. These ensure that the Stair Lift always stops in the correct position

Acorn Superglide Stair Lifts can be controlled by either the simple mechanical 'paddle' switch at the end of both seat arms, or by way of the infra-red remote control handset, two of which are supplied. The paddle overrides the remote controls, which 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 or control stations.

For extra security and safety, Acorn Stair Lift can be fitted with an inertia reel lap harness or a static, 3-point, fixed over-shoulder harness.

The Stair Lift seat swivels and locks in position, making mounting and dismounting the Stair Lift easy and safe. The Stair Lift will not operate unless the seat is in the correct riding position.

There are 5 surfaces / edges that stop the Stair Lift 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.

Mounted on the carriage of the Stair Lift 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 Stair Lift.

The fold-away construction makes the Stair Lift unobtrusive and allows full access of the stairs
