Brooks 80 Curved Stairlift
Our Take
The Brooks 80 Stairlift is a curved model made by Acorn, known for slim, low-profile rails. It suits staircases with bends and carries users up to 120 kg (19 stone). Moreover, the neat rail keeps the stairs looking tidy and open.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
Fitting is quick and low-fuss. Because it needs only minor changes to your stairs, most installs finish smoothly.
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 a simpler model, it lacks some advanced features and options of higher-end lifts. As a result, it may suit fewer specialist needs.
Its more basic build can also mean more frequent servicing over time.
Choices for design and seating are limited too, so check the options before you buy.
Other Models to Consider
Curved lifts are all made to measure, so it’s worth weighing the Brooks 80 Curved against a few others. 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.

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.
