Acorn Stair Lifts
Acorn Stair Lifts is a family owned business that was founded in 1992. Originally, the company bought and re-conditioned stair lifts but soon found that demand was exceeding supply. With the expertise Acorn Stair Lifts had acquired, the company began to manufacture its own stair lift; the Acorn Superglide Stair Lift was the result.
This stair lift from Acorn has since become a market leader and remains at the forefront of stair lift technology and design.
