Acorn Stairlifts, located in heart of Yorkshire, Northern England, was first formed in 1992. This privately owned company initially started out by remodelling and reselling pre-owned stairlifts. As of today it has become one of the largest suppliers of stairlifts in the world and manufactures over 50,000 units every year. The company has offices in the U.K., U.S.A, Australia, Canada and Germany.
Acorn Stairlifts was also the first company to utilise and develop DC technology in the industry. Above all this method provides advantages in safety, general power supply and has the ability to function in a power failure. Many of Acorn’s competitors today have followed suit and too offer a DC product.
Acorn Stairlifts offers solutions for straight, curved and outdoors stairs.
