This will change depending on the stairlift you select. The maximum user weight of the Acorn 180 Curved Stairlift is 264lbs, for instance, while the maximum user weight of the Acorn 130 Straight Stairlift comes in at 300lbs. An enhanced version of the Acorn 130 is also available, which has an increased upper weight limit of 350lbs.

We are aware that stairlifts come in many different shapes and sizes. Many have 'fans' of steps either at the top or the bottom of the staircase too, as well as sub-landings. It's usually possible to install two straight stairlifts, fit a transfer platform or construct 'infill' boxes - all of which may be cheaper than installing a curved stairlift. Rest assured that an experienced surveyor from Acorn will advise you on the best option for your home.

This shouldn't be an issue, as the Acorn Sit/Stand Stairlift is an option that helps users with trouble bending their knees because it requires limited knee articulation when used.
