ACORN 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.

Sit and Stand Frame

This addition allows the user(s) of the stair lift to choose to ascend/descend the stairs in either the usual seated position or to stand on the footrest, whilst holding onto a special folding steady/security bar for stability. It is ideal for those who may have problems with bending their knees, or where multiple users with different requirements will be using the stair lift.

There is also the Perch Model Stair Lift, which may be suitable.

Seat Belts

Stair lifts can be fitted with either an inertia reel lap harness or static type, 3 point fixing, over shoulder harness.

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.

Bridging Platform

The bridging platform can offer a quick, cost effective solution to certain types of curved staircase. Good examples are winding turns right at the top of the stairs, or perhaps a turn on a flat landing where there are 2 or 3 steps after the turn.
