The Superglide 120 is the best selling stair lift in the world. Acorn pioneered DC current (rechargeable battery) powered stair lifts. This innovation permits smoother starts/stops and allows the Superglide 120 to continue working even during a power blackout. Instead of a chain or cable, Acorn uses a rack and pinion drive working in conjunction with their unique double-tube rail chassis roller system. This results in a much more luxurious ride and a superb feeling of safety and stability when using the stair lift.

In most cases, it's cheaper to use two Acorn stair lifts on a stairway that changes direction instead of a single stair lift that uses an expensive, custom-built curved rail.
Mk1G Series Stair Lifts by MediTek
MediTek is known as the "go to" source if you want a heavy-duty stair lift. With a larger motor and a beefier chassis, the Mk1G 160 can handle a passenger weighing up to 350 pounds. The Perch option allows the user to stand safely while riding, but also offers a higher seating position that is easier on the knees and takes up less stairway space. MediTek's MultiFlight option allows the stair lift to ascend and descend stairways that have a curved path.
