The most common issue we see on this lift is batteries, which is typical for most stairlifts.
When the lift is not in operation it must be parked precisely on these charging contacts or the batteries can discharge and in some cases require replacement. The adapter has a cable that routes to charging stations at the top and bottom of the lift. The lift plugs into a standard household outlet with a 15 volt AC adapter. The extra control switch is particularly useful for a person with limited mobility in one hand. Most lifts will just have one control switch on a single armrest. One of our favorite features is the ability to operate the lift from either control located at the end of the armrest. The rail should always be kept clean and visually inspected. While this isn’t a huge deal it gives the lift more of a mechanical look and can cause service-related issues. One thing to note about the track on the Acorn 130 and T700 models is the exposed gear rack on the face or top of the rail.
Our recommended minimum width of stairs for installation of this lift is 32″ and preferably 34-36″ More Useful Information The rail or track is on the slightly wider side at 5-1/2″ but still leaves plenty of room for anyone else using the stairs. The overall appearance of the lift is good and will fit nicely into most homes with its tan color upholstery and light color of the mechanical covers. The manufacturer, originally from the UK began selling stairlifts in the United States in the early ’90s and has become one of the largest distributors of stair lifts in the market. The Acorn 130 stairlift is the most common lift we see in homes and is what we would refer to as an entry-level model made for moderate use.
