Our Take
The Brooks 130 Outdoor Straight Stairlift offers several benefits and considerations to keep in mind:
Benefits
Enhanced Outdoor Mobility
The Brooks 130 Outdoor Straight Stairlift enables individuals with limited mobility to access outdoor spaces with ease. This is particularly beneficial for enjoying gardens, patios, decks, or other outdoor areas.
Weather Resistance
Built to withstand outdoor elements, the Brooks 130 Outdoor Stairlift typically features weather-resistant materials and coatings that help protect the lift from rain, UV rays, and other outdoor conditions.
Durable Construction
This model is designed with durability in mind, often incorporating sturdy materials that can handle outdoor use and provide long-lasting performance.
Compact Design
It features a slim and compact design, allowing for maximum space on the stairs for other users.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The Stairlift operates quietly and smoothly, providing a comfortable and enjoyable ride.
Safety Features
The Brooks 130 Outdoor Stairlift is equipped with safety features such as seatbelts, sensors, and a swivel seat, ensuring a secure and safe user experience.
Customizable Options
Acorn / Brooks offer various customization options to cater to individual needs, including seat height adjustments, choice of upholstery, and additional accessories.
Considerations
Designed for straight outdoor staircases, installation might still require some customization to ensure a perfect fit. This could result in longer installation times and potentially higher costs.
Just like any outdoor equipment, the Brooks 130 Outdoor Stairlift may require maintenance and cleaning to ensure it continues to operate smoothly, especially given its exposure to the elements.
Outdoor stairlifts, due to their specialized design and weather-resistant features, might be more expensive than their indoor counterparts.

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.
