Our Take
The Brooks 120 is a perch stairlift for anyone who finds sitting or bending their knees hard. Rather than a full seat, it supports you in a semi-standing position. Moreover, it fits straight staircases and carries users up to 120 kg (19 stone).
Benefits
Semi-Standing Position
The perch keeps you semi-standing instead of seated. As a result, it helps people who cannot bend their knees comfortably.
Compact Design
A perch lift is slimmer than a seated one. Because of that, it fits narrow staircases and saves space when folded.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift runs quietly and smoothly up each step. Therefore, every journey stays calm and steady.
Safety Features
A seatbelt and safety sensors come as standard. Together, they keep each ride secure.
Ease of Use
Many riders find it easier to step on and off while semi-standing. So the Brooks 120 stays simple to use each day.
Considerations
The perch position does not suit everyone, especially on longer rides. However, anyone with balance problems may find it harder to stay steady.
It may also not suit certain mobility or medical conditions that make semi-standing difficult or unsafe.
Specialist designs like this also cost more than a standard seated model.
Other Models to Consider
If a perch or stand-on lift like the Brooks 120 Perch Straight is what you need, these alternatives are worth comparing. The MediTek DSP100 Stand and Perch is rated to 100kg and the Acorn Superglide 120 Slimline Straight is a standard straight lift, while the Acorn 130 Outdoor Straight is a weatherproof outdoor lift. A home survey will confirm the best fit.

Manufacturer
From it’s emergence in the early 1970’s, Brooks Stairlifts has steadily gained recognition as a reputable player in the mobility industry. Over the years, their dedication to crafting reliable, safe, and user-friendly Stairlifts has led to the development of an extensive product lineup catering to both straight and curved staircases. An important chapter in their history was the acquisition by Acorn, a leading name in the stairlift industry known for their innovative approach and commitment to customer satisfaction. This acquisition marked a significant milestone, allowing Brooks Stairlifts to leverage Acorn’s expertise and resources to further advance their product offerings and accessibility solutions. These days Acorn and Brooks Stairlifts are largely the same product. Acorn sell directly to the public as Acorn and through their dealer network as Brooks.
