The Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week
What is Acorn’s hinged rail option?
Here at Acorn Stairlifts, we strive to provide our customers with only the best stairlift technology and safety features so that you are always receiving an unmatchable user experience.
We are constantly looking for ways to improve, whether it concerns anything from manufacturing to servicing. This is why we make it a point to take all perspectives into account, striving to view our company, service, products, and features through the eyes of our customers, as well as their families and friends.
Acorn’s option of an additional hinged rail on any of our stairlifts is an embodiment of this practice.
A hinged rail is a short-hinged section at the foot of the rail, which can be manually or electrically folded up out of the way when the stairlift is not in use.
For everyone’s safety, all Acorn stairlift carriages are equipped with arms, seats, and footrests that fold up neatly out of the way when not in use.
This makes our stairlifts among the slimmest profile models on the market.
However, on top of these safety measures, Acorn’s offer of the additional feature of a hinged rail acts as prevention for a problem that could possibly arise in some homes—a problem that could really trip you up.
How a Hinged Rail Helps You Avoid a Tripping Hazard
As you might imagine, we’re all about avoiding dangerous falls at Acorn Stairlifts.
The only falling we accept here is all of the customers who have fallen in love with the independence, freedom, and mobility that our stairlifts grant you.
In some home layouts, the bottom section of a straight stairlift rail (at the foot of the stairs) might protrude into a walkway, transforming your safe, supportive stairlift into a tripping hazard.
To put a stop to this situation before it can ever happen, Acorn offers the option of a short-hinged section at the foot of the rail, which can be manually or electrically folded up out of the way when the stairlift is not in use.
This assures that, in addition to the stairlift user, all of the people filtering in and out of your house stay safe and fall-free with a clear, unobstructed passageway for walking.
