Curved Stairlift
Acorn 180
Designed for winding staircases with twists, bends, and curves

Most Acorn stairlifts can be shortened, but this must be done by an Acorn-approved technician.
Do curved stairlifts move at a fast speed?
The maximum rated speed is 0.15 metres per second (0.34 mph) to ensure safety while riding.
