ACORN Superglide Stair Lifts
Power Supply
ACORN stair lifts 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.
ACORN Superglide 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 stair lifts feature four, or
sometimes six chassis rollers and a box section rail. The
ACORN Superglide stair lift 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 stair lift.

|
The stair lift is fitted as standard with these
essential safety systems to eliminate any
possibility of an uncontrolled descent of the

Choice of Control
|
|
ACORN Superglide Stair Lifts are controlled by,
either the mechanical 'joystick' fitted to
the seat arm, or by way of the infra red remote
control handset, two of which are supplied.
The mechanical controls over-ride the remote
controls. The remote controls are ideal when there
are 2 users in the house so that the lift can be
'sent' or 'called' up - and downstairs. The
wireless design means that there is no unsightly
wall mounted wiring or control stations.

position.
