too narrow to fit a chair lift. It has most of the features of the Acorn 120 straight lift and also includes
a grab rail for extra safety.
Acorn Sit or Stand Stair Lift
The Acorn 120 Sit or Stand Stair
Lift is ideal if more than one person needs to use the lift but each has different needs.

features of the straight lift model and also includes a grab rail for use in the standing position.
