ACORN Stairlift Power Supply

ACORN Stairlifts are powered by direct current (DC), supplied by rechargeable batteries, which deliver a smooth, ultra-quiet and safe ride quality. The batteries are maintenance free and charged by a safe 15 volts AC, which is stepped-down from the domestic mains supply by the transformer.

• The Stairlift remains operative, even if the mains supply is interrupted
• There is no mains voltage to any of the operating parts of the Stairlift
• There are no troublesome trailing mains cables, as with all AC powered lifts
• Allows rapid and simple installation, without mess or disruption
• Delivers smooth and whisper-quiet operational characteristics
• 'Soft Start & Stop' means that there is no jolting or lurching as the lift starts or finishes its journey. This adds to the feeling of safety and stability.

ACORN Stair Lifts Ride Quality

The peerless ride quality is attributed to our unique rail profile and chassis roller system, in conjunction with the DC Power and rack and pinion drive systems. Typically, other Stairlifts feature four, or sometimes six chassis rollers and a box section rail. The ACORN Superglide Stairlift has eight rollers, giving a surface contact area at least four times greater than competitor products, which, coupled with our unique double tube rail profile, gives the smoothest, quietest and most luxurious ride quality currently available, and a superb feeling of safety and stability when using the Stairlift.
