Stairlifts can be life-changing devices that take your life to the next level, but who and where you buy your lift from matters.

When you choose to go with Acorn Stairlifts, you are choosing a quality lift that will last for years to come—manufactured, installed, and serviced by only the top stairlift experts in the industry.

Learn 5 amazing qualities of the company that allow Acorn to soar in the stairlift industry, climbing above all other stair lift competitors.

Why Choose Acorn Stairlifts Over Other Stairlift Companies?

1. Acorn is with you from start to finish—We manufacture, install, and service all of our stairlifts.

Unlike other companies that install stairlifts manufactured by outside businesses, Acorn Stairlifts manufactures our stairlifts in-house. Our products are manufactured in our own factories and go through extensive, independent testing procedures that comply with the following newest standards for stairlifts:

  • BS EN 81-40:2008 - European Safety Standards
  • ISO 9386-2:2000 - Worldwide Standard for Stairlifts

This includes testing our stairlifts to a minimum of 25,000 return journeys - the equivalent of 11 years of use, assuming six return journeys every day. Beyond this, within our factories, each Acorn stairlift is checked 29 times by our quality assurance team made up of 20 members.

Acorn does this because we want to be able to look our customers in the eye and tell them that they are getting the safest and highest-quality stairlift with full confidence. When you choose Acorn, you will never have to worry about the quality, where your stairlift came from, or who manufactured it.

2. Acorn stairlifts come in a variety of models, including lifts for curved, straight, outdoor, and indoor staircases.

Whether your staircases are narrow or wide, tall or short, straight or curved, indoor or outdoor, Acorn has a variety of stairlift models that will blend seamlessly into your home. We offer the Acorn 130 Stairlift, the Acorn 130 Outdoor Stairlift (Both designed for straight staircases inside and outside), and the Acorn 180 Stairlift designed for curvy, unique staircases with bends and twists.  No matter what your needs are, Acorn is happy to assist you in finding the perfect stairlift for you and your home.

3. Acorn Stairlifts has earned many awards. We are currently the only stairlift company to have earned the Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation in all of our stairlift models.Senior couple using an acorn stairlift

Acorn has earned its amazing reputation not only from its high demand, shipping stairlifts to over 80 countries worldwide, but through its collection of awards and accreditations. From awards earned for our high-quality stairlifts to our superior customer service, we’ve been recognized for all the qualities that make Acorn Stairlifts stand out from its competitors. One of the ones that we are most proud of is the Ease-of-Use Commendation, awarded to us by the Arthritis Foundation.

As the only stairlift company in the world to earn the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-use Commendation in all models of our products, our stairlifts were designed with the millions of people that suffer from arthritis in mind, as well as anyone who wishes to reclaim their independence and mobility.

This award, given to us from a panel of arthritis experts, was earned through extensive testing with our simulation subjects being nonother than real people living with arthritis. From opening the packaging of our product to taking a ride in our lift, the Arthritis Foundation determined that every step of the product testing was not only manageable for people with Arthritis, but was easy to use, even for people suffering from a severe form of the disease.
