The Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week
How many countries does Acorn export to?
Do you want to know why we are so confident in the unmatchable quality of our stairlifts across the entire mobility market?

Furthermore, Acorn Stairlifts has offices located in the United States, UK, Australia, Canada, Italy, Germany, and South Africa.

What Makes Our Stairlift Manufacturing Process Stand Out from the Chairlift Crowd?
At Acorn Stairlifts, we strive to climb alongside our customers every step of the way in their journeys to reaching new heights.
This is why we do it all—service, installation, and manufacturing.
Acorn has remained one of the world’s leading stairlift manufacturers for decades, and we are proud to be one of the few stairlift companies that manufactures our own stairlifts in house.
All models are manufactured in our own factories by stairlift experts, going through extensive, independent testing procedures.
Furthermore, all models of Acorn stairlifts must undergo a thorough, multi-step quality-assurance evaluation in our factories before being shipped out all over the world.
What Is Done During This Quality-Assurance Evaluation?
During this stairlift quality-assurance evaluation, each Acorn stairlift carriage is checked 29 times by our 20-person quality-assurance team to ensure that you are getting the quality you deserve.
However, Acorn’s quality assurance doesn’t stop there.
In fact, during the stairlift installation process, all installers are required to work through a strict 37-point checklist as part of the assembly process.
These procedures have been put in place to ensure that our stairlifts function flawlessly and safely for our valued customers.
What Else Does Acorn Do to Ensure Our Stairlifts Are Soaring Up to Standard and Beyond?
All Acorn stairlifts are regularly tested and certified by independent bodies. This of course includes the established standards for stairlifts:
BS EN 81-40: 2008- European safety standards
ISO 9386-2: 2000- Worldwide standard for stairlifts
In addition, Acorn Stairlifts regularly puts all Acorn models through even more stairlift quality testing.
Each Acorn model must complete at least 25,000 trips (this corresponds to approximately 11 years of use with six trips a day) before it is released for consumer use.
Why Does Acorn Insist on Manufacturing Our Own Stairlifts?
We’ve established that all models are manufactured in our own factories by stairlift experts, going through extensive, independent testing procedures—But why do we put in so much work to go above and beyond the minimum, required stairlift regulations?
Acorn does this because we want to be able to look our customers in the eye and tell them that they are getting the safest and highest quality stairlift with full confidence.
When it comes to stairlifts, Acorn knows that we are the best in the business, so we wouldn’t allow the complicated and meticulous process of manufacturing such high-quality machinery to fall into the hands of anyone other than us—the experts of all things stairlifts and masters of manufacturing.
When you choose Acorn, you will never have to worry about the quality, where your stairlift came from, or who manufactured it.
From the strict standards we adhere to during manufacturing, to our superior stairlift servicing within your home, Acorn Stairlifts is hands-on throughout the entire process to ensure our customers are getting what they deserve—only the best.
How Does Being an International Company Confirm Acorn Stairlifts’ Mission Statement?
Acorn Stairlifts doesn’t set out to just level with your expectations when you buy a stairlift from us.
Instead, we strive to surpass them, never giving you less than what we believe you deserve—only the best stairlifts and service, from start to finish.
This supports Acorn Stairlift’s mission statement to be the best stairlift company in the world.
