Our Take
The Brooks 180 is a curved stairlift for staircases with bends or half-landings. It carries users up to 120 kg (19 stone), and its rail is made to fit your exact stairs. Moreover, a slim, folding design keeps the steps clear for everyone else.
Benefits
Made-to-Measure Rail
Brooks shapes each rail to your staircase. Because it is made to measure, it follows the bends closely with little disruption.
Compact Design
The slim rail and fold-away seat take up little room. As a result, others can still use the stairs freely.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift runs quietly and smoothly around each turn. Therefore, every journey feels calm and steady.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you get on and off safely.
Customisable Options
Brooks also offers plenty of choice. For example, you can adjust the seat height, pick the upholstery and add accessories.
Considerations
Some owners report issues with the hot switch relay. As a result, it is worth checking this during servicing.
Faults with the overspeed governor can also arise, so keep up with regular maintenance.
There is no outdoor version of the Brooks 180, so it suits indoor staircases only.

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.
