DHG Services provides the full Acorn stairlift range throughout the UK.

This includes:

Straight stairlifts
Curved stairlifts
Hinged rail models
Outdoor stairlifts
Reconditioned stairlifts
Rental stairlift options

Every staircase and every customer is different, which is why DHG Services tailors recommendations to individual homes and mobility needs.

Acorn Straight Stairlifts

Straight stairlifts are designed for staircases without bends, corners, or intermediate landings.

These are typically:

✔ The fastest to install
✔ The most affordable
✔ Suitable for many UK homes
✔ Ideal for straightforward staircases

The Acorn 130 is one of the most popular straight stairlift models available.

Benefits include:

Slimline design
Fold-away seat
Battery-powered operation
Smooth start/stop movement
Easy controls
Quick installation

Most straight stairlift installations can often be completed within just a few hours.

Acorn Curved Stairlifts

Curved stairlifts are designed for staircases featuring:

Bends
Turns
Half-landings
Quarter-landings
Spiral sections

The Acorn 180 curved stairlift uses a custom-built rail specifically manufactured to fit the exact shape of the staircase.

Benefits include:

✔ Smooth travel around corners
✔ Precision-fitted rails
✔ Space-saving design
✔ Safe multi-landing travel
✔ Comfortable operation

Curved stairlifts require more bespoke engineering and therefore generally cost more than straight stairlifts.

However, they allow customers with complex staircases to regain safe access to their homes.

Hinged Rail Stairlifts

Some homes have staircases located close to:

Doorways
Hallways
Walkways

In these situations, hinged rail stairlifts can help prevent trip hazards by automatically lifting the rail section out of the way when not in use.

These are especially useful in compact UK homes where space matters.

Outdoor Stairlifts

Acorn also manufactures outdoor stairlifts designed specifically for external steps and outdoor environments.

These lifts are weather-resistant and ideal for:

Garden access
Porch steps
External staircases
Outdoor mobility support

They help customers safely access gardens and outdoor spaces year-round.

Reconditioned Stairlifts

For customers seeking more affordable mobility solutions, DHG Services also offers reconditioned stairlifts.

These stairlifts are:

✔ Fully safety tested
✔ Professionally serviced
✔ Thoroughly inspected
✔ More cost-effective

Reconditioned options can provide excellent value while still delivering reliability and safety.

Stairlift Rental Options

Temporary mobility needs do not always require permanent stairlift ownership.

DHG Services also offers rental stairlift solutions for situations such as:

Post-surgery recovery
Temporary injury
Visiting relatives
Short-term mobility support

Rental stairlifts provide flexibility while avoiding large upfront costs.

Key Safety Features of Acorn Stairlifts

Safety is one of the biggest reasons homeowners choose Acorn stairlifts.

Popular safety features include:

Safety Sensors

Sensors automatically stop the stairlift if an obstacle is detected.

Battery Backup

Acorn stairlifts continue operating during power cuts thanks to battery-powered systems.

Swivel Seats

Swivel seats help users safely exit at the top landing.

Fold-Away Design

Seats, footrests, and armrests fold away neatly when not in use to keep stairs accessible for others.

Smooth Start and Stop Technology

Acorn stairlifts are designed for comfortable movement without sudden jolts or sharp stops.

How Much Does an Acorn Stairlift Cost?

Pricing depends on several factors including:

Staircase type
Rail complexity
Lift model
Optional upgrades
Installation requirements

According to DHG Services, typical UK pricing includes:

Stairlift Type	Typical Installed Cost
Straight Stairlift	£2,000–£5,000
Reconditioned Straight Stairlift	£1,000–£2,500
Curved Stairlift	Higher due to bespoke rails

Straight stairlifts are generally quicker and cheaper to install.

DHG Services provides a complete installation service including:

✔ Home survey
