History of Acorn Stairlifts
Acorn Stairlifts was formed in 1992 and the business started by buying, reconditioning and reselling pre-owned stair lifts, as well as buying in new lifts from other manufacturers. Within a very short space of time, demand outstripped supply and we were forced to explore other supply options to maintain our commitment to exceptional customer service levels.
Design an All New Stairlift
The obvious choice for Acorn was to design and manufacture a new stairlift to ensure control over the quality. From this decision, the Acorn Superglide Stairlift was born, soon to become a market leader. To this day, it remains at the forefront of stairlift technology.
The design of the new stairlift was consciously focused on safety, simplicity, ease of installation and simple maintenance. This ultimately 'designed out' many of the shortcomings Acorn had experienced with stairlifts from other manufacturers, while including all the best stairlift features to make our product the best!
Innovative Technology
Acorn Stairlifts pioneered DC (direct current battery) technology in the stairlift industry. This was chosen due to the inherent advantages of safety, smooth power delivery and the ability to operate normally during a mains power failure. Interestingly, all of Acorn's stairlift competitors have followed this lead and now offer a DC product, or have DC powered appliances under development. Such are the advantages of this technology!
Acorn is the now the largest supplier of directly supplied stairlifts. Acorn currently manufactures in excess of 30,000 new units per annum and has many thousands of customers globally.
Supplying the World with Stairlifts
The core business remains the manufacture and supply of Acorn Superglide Stairlifts. The 'keep it simple' ethos has allowed Acorn to focus on one thing - and to do it right.
That’s why Acorn is the largest independent straight stairlift manufacturer in the world.
