Bison Bede Stairlifts

Bison Bede began making stairlifts in 1981. At first Bison stairlifts were manufactured for the NHS and local authorities. They were then sold through approved dealers across the UK. They offered several straight stairlift models, such as the Bison Classic and the Bison Compact, which was replaced later by the Bison 50. The Bison 80 was the first curved stairlift to operate on a modular rail system.

The company was acquired by Acorn Stairlifts in November 2007 and its factory ceased production in 2009. The Bison 80 modular rail concept was adopted by Acorn for their Acorn 180 model.

Many people still have a Bison stairlift installed in their homes and used Bison models are sometimes advertised for sale. Unfortunately spare parts for Bison stairlifts are no longer available. So if a Bison stairlift develops a fault and needs repairs it is usually necessary to replace it with a new stairlift.

Bison Stairlift Features:

• A swivel seat that can be adjusted to different heights.
• A choice of seatbealts in either car or plane style to suit the user’s needs.
• Rechargeable batteries that automatically recharge when the stairlift is parked.
• Safety edges to automatically stop the stairlift if there’s an obstruction in its path.
• A self diagnostic display to provide details of the stairlift’s status.
• A slimline design that enables the stairlift to be folded away when not in use to leave plenty of room on the stairs for other people.
