• A stair lift can be considered as one of the greatest inventions that man has ever made.  This can be said because of many reasons.  One of which being that, they can be used as a tool for the handicapped person to move around his own house without asking for anybody’s help.  If a person has this equipment in this house, it will be easy for him to climb up and go down the stairs without the aid of anyone else in his family.

    If it happens, you will feel independent enough to do whatever he wants on his own.  It will empower the handicapped individual in such a way that he will be able to see himself making a significant contribution to the society despite his disability.

    He will learn through the Stair lift that he does not need to feel pity for himself because there are many tools that can help him make a difference in people’s lives.  This being said because using this equipment should not limit disabled person from trying to improve his physical condition.

    The Stair lift was created for the convenience of the persons who will end up using it.  However, people should not rely on the stair lift completely.  Yes, it will make your life easier, but it does not mean that you should make it as an excuse for not improving your physical health.

    The Stair lift should remind people about the advantages of having technology in our lives. These technologies help us to improve our living conditions.  This equipment should also help people realize that they should not be afraid to try new things.

    If you would only look beyond what you have, you will realize that there are far worst things that can happen.  Therefore if you have an incapacitating condition, it should not stop you from doing what you need to do to help others.  Technology is always there to give us options and advantages that will allow us to contribute the community even more.  This machinery can help the disabled person to realize that he did not have to rely on other people too much.

    It will teach the disabled person that technology can help him live a full and happy life.  As for taking care of the elderly, this machine can also help the caregiver to have an easier time moving the elderly person around the stairs.

    It can also be an advantage for the elderly person because as soon as he or she learns to operate the contraption, it will be easy for him or her to go up and down the stairs as much as a normal person would.  Just like a disabled person, it will give the elderly a sense of independence and happiness in knowing that he can do things for himself without bothering other people.

    A Stair lift is definitely something worth having around the house.  It will not only make life easier for the user but for by other people who live with the user as well.

  • Since 1922 when it was founded, Acorn Stairlifts have been giving people with mobility difficulties a new push, so to speak, in going about their business in life. Since then, it had been a boon to the elderly, to people with arthritis, and to those with injuries and surgeries to be able move about in their homes like they used to.

    Starting out with buying pre-owned stairlifts from other companies and reconditioning them to near-pristine quality, the company soon discovered it had to design and manufacture their own new stairlifts minus the obsolete features of the old models.

    Today, Acorn Stairlifts is one of the world’s largest makers of stairlifts with offices across the US, Canada, Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom. With a yearly output of over 50,000 units, the company still leads in customer satisfaction, in sales and in technological innovations of their products.

    Acorn Stairlifts standards

    The foremost consideration at Acorn is consumer safety. Next, would be the user’s comfort level in the use of the product.

    With the number of years the company had been in the business, its stairlifts had evolved so many times to what they are today – the most ideal stairlift it can offer to each type of customer.

    Pioneering efforts

    One of the company’s biggest innovations is the pioneering work it did in developing the use of direct current (battery) to power the stairlifts. Where in the past stairlifts cannot be used due to power interruptions, the use of independent battery power is now the standard choice.

    Aside from the smooth, whisper-like motor sound, the device is equipped with wireless remote controls to make things easier and simpler. Also absent now are the unsightly trailer cables that messed up the look of the old models.

    Safety measures

    Acorn stairlifts are all equipped with limit sensors to make sure they stop in the correct position and start and stop smoothly in ascents and descents. The safety belts are to keep the user secure in the seat.

    Moreover, the electronic and mechanical braking systems are for removing the possibility of any uncontrolled movements of the machine, especially in descents.

    Installation

    With the experienced engineers from Acorn Stairlifts, installation of the stairlift is fast and clean. These fully-trained professionals have met all kinds of challenges from all sorts of houses with difficult stairs configurations.

    After installation, Acorn engineers will test the stairlift as thoroughly as possible. This is also to test and demonstrate the features and other capabilities of the Acorn stairlift.

    For one, an Acorn Stairlift is fitted to the stairs and not the wall, minimizing disruption and ensuring durability. The Overspeed Governor (OSG), an Acorn standard vital safety equipment, is tested and retested.

    Seats and safety belts are checked for operational defects, if ever. Inspection is also done on the slim folding of the arms, seat and footrest of the stairlift as well as testing on the soft start and stop of the machine.

    Warranty

    All of Acorn products have a 12-month service warranty. This covers the maintenance, and in case of a fault (a rare case), your unit is given priority consideration.

    As is widely known, Acorn Stairlifts is ahead of its field because of their products – maintenance-free, innovative safety features and trouble-free use.
