Our Take
The Bison 80 Stairlift is a curved model and the forerunner of today’s Acorn and Brooks lifts. It shares their slim, low-profile rail and carries users up to 120 kg (19 stone). Moreover, it fits staircases with bends while keeping the steps tidy.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
Engineers fit the Bison 80 quickly and cleanly. Furthermore, it needs only minor changes to your staircase.
Compact Design
The slim rail and folding seat take up little room. As a result, others can still use the stairs with ease.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift runs quietly and smoothly around each bend. Therefore, every journey feels calm and steady.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they keep each ride secure.
Considerations
As an older, simpler model, the Bison 80 lacks some advanced features of newer lifts. As a result, it may suit fewer specialist needs.
Its more basic design can also mean more frequent servicing over time.
Options for design and seating are limited too, so check what is available before you buy.
Other Models to Consider
If the Bison 80 Curved is on your shortlist for a curved stair, these comparable lifts are worth a look. The Platinum Curve has a wider 359mm folded footprint and the Acorn 180 Curved is a close match on size and capacity, while the Platinum Ultimate Curved has a wider 361mm folded footprint.
