Acorn 130 Stairlift From £1,195.00 – Reconditioned

The Acorn 130 stairlift is designed for smooth, intuitive operation, offering low maintenance and high reliability. Its space‑efficient design makes it suitable for a variety of straight staircases, including compact layouts. It provides quiet and smooth travel along the staircase thanks to its supportive seating position and smooth start/stop function. The Acorn 130 is a very popular choice and is currently the world’s best‑selling straight stairlift.

The Acorn 130 travels on a slimline rail suitable for various lengths and gradients, custom‑built to suit the staircase layout. It attaches neatly to the stair treads with minimal disruption and can be installed on either the right or left‑hand side.

Fast delivery and installation within 1–3 working days from a FREE home survey is available on this model.

As standard, the Acorn stairlift includes a 12‑month warranty covering parts, labour and repairs. Extended warranties are also available.

Fully reconditioned: The Acorn stairlift undergoes a detailed refurbishment process where moving parts, electrics, batteries, outer casings and other components are reconditioned or replaced. It is fully serviced before installation, meeting the latest British safety standards. See how we do this here: Reconditioned Stairlifts.

Compact design: The Acorn 130’s slim and compact profile makes it suitable for compact staircases. Measuring just under 13" when folded, it provides generous space along the staircase when not in use.

British stairlift: The Acorn stairlift is British‑made and highly reliable, featuring a robust design with a weight capacity of up to 20 stone.

Neat, quick installation: The slimline track is fitted neatly to the stair treads (not the wall), requiring no structural work. Installation typically takes 1–2 hours.

Packed with safety features: The electronic and mechanical braking system manages movement along the staircase for smooth and controlled travel. The stairlift includes a lap belt, safety limit sensors, pressure sensors, lockable key and other safety features.

Battery powered: The Acorn stairlift uses durable battery packs that automatically recharge via charge points at each end of the rail. This ensures whisper‑quiet, smooth and continuous operation.

Upholstery colours available: The Acorn 130 comes in a neutral beige colour as standard. Alternative upholstery colours can be fitted if preferred — please contact us for availability and pricing.
