There are various reasons why you may consider a homelift, but one main reason is to provide a safe option for travelling between floors in your home when restricted mobility stops you from doing so.
A Stiltz homelift is a practical, space-efficient alternative to a stairlift, offering a versatile mobility solution for multi-story homes. Stiltz lifts feature a compact footprint of less than one square meter, making them ideal for installation in tight or confined spaces. They’re a great choice for those who want to maintain independence and comfort within their own home.
Stiltz lifts provide a safer alternative to stairlifts for individuals with mobility challenges.
Introduction to Home Lifts
Home lifts, also known as domestic lifts or Stiltz home lifts, are transforming the way people move around their homes. Designed to provide seamless access between floors, these innovative solutions are ideal for anyone who finds stairs challenging, whether due to age, disability, or simply the need to carry heavy or awkward items. Unlike stair lifts or conventional hydraulic lifts, a home lift such as the Stiltz Duo Classic or Stiltz Trio Classic Lift offers a smooth, quiet, and stylish alternative that fits beautifully into modern living spaces.
With models like the Stiltz Duo Classic and Stiltz Trio Classic, homeowners can enjoy the freedom to move independently, maintain their lifestyle, and stay in the home they love for longer. By choosing a Stiltz home lift, you’re investing in comfort, safety, and future-proof accessibility.
Who Are Stiltz?
Stiltz is an award-winning homelift manufacturer based in the UK. They design and manufacture high-quality domestic lifts for individuals who are less mobile and aren’t able to use the stairs. Their lifts are a cost-effective and much less time-consuming alternative to downsizing your home when stairs can no longer be used. The Stiltz Duo Classic Home Lift is a user-friendly, space-saving two-person through-floor lift, offering a practical alternative to stairlifts and larger home elevators.
We’ve been proud partners of Stiltz for many years, allowing us to provide and install their lifts in homes across the UK. The Stiltz home elevator is an innovative, compact, and energy-efficient solution designed to fit a variety of homes and mobility needs. Our goal is to help our clients across the UK by providing cost-effective and reliable home lifts to maintain or regain their independence at home.
Stiltz lifts can be installed quickly, often within a single day, and can be fitted in various locations around the home, including living rooms, hallways, and garages, with minimal disruption.
What are the Benefits of Having a Home Lift?
When mobility is an issue which restricts your access to travel between floors in your home, a Stiltz lift is a great solution, for many reasons. Stiltz lifts are a type of through floor lift and floor lift, designed to provide safe and convenient vertical mobility within your home.
Unlike traditional lifts, Stiltz Home Lifts use dual rail technology, enabling a self-supporting structure that does not require load-bearing walls for installation.
The innovative drive mechanism allows for flexible placement of the lift and ensures minimal building work during installation.
Stiltz lifts do not impose an extra weight burden on your property and can be installed in locations where other home lifts cannot fit.
Wheelchair and Walking Frame Friendly
Unlike stairlifts, a home lift allows you to travel between floors without having to leave your wheelchair or walking frame. Stiltz lifts are designed to accommodate a full-sized wheelchair, ensuring maximum accessibility and comfort for users. The innovative wheelchair lift design of Stiltz lifts enhances functionality and space efficiency, making installation seamless and unobtrusive. Getting out of a wheelchair to transfer to a stairlift may be a straining task, which requires a lot of effort and isn’t sustainable for everyone.
The Stiltz Trio Classic is designed to accommodate three people or a wheelchair, providing flexibility for families and carers. When using a domestic lift, this is no longer an issue as you can stay in your wheelchair, or use your walking frame, when moving between floors. The Stiltz Trio Plus is ideal for users with walking frames and can accommodate a standard-sized wheelchair, making it suitable for a wide range of mobility needs.
Energy Efficiency
Stiltz lifts use a quiet electric motor housed in the lift car’s roofspace, instead of noisy hydraulics. This electric motor makes the lift much quieter than traditional hydraulic lifts, providing a more unobtrusive user experience. Stiltz Home Lifts plug directly into a standard 13-amp power socket and use less energy than a toaster, so there’s no need for special electrical work. Each return from each floor will use between 2-3 amps. This means you can make four return trips upstairs for the same amount of energy as boiling the kettle. The Stiltz lift has one of the smallest carbon footprints for a residential lift in the UK. Stiltz lifts are designed to be quiet and energy-efficient.
Stay Home Rather than Downsize Home
The idea of downsizing your home to eliminate the issue of travelling between floors may not be an appealing option. Many people have lived in their homes for decades and are against the idea of relocating to a home and location they’re comfortable with.
With the Stiltz residential lift, you can remain in the home you love while being able to travel between floors easily and comfortably. As well as making travel in your home easier, it also reduces a lot of stress and logistics involved in moving home and downsizing.
Different Stiltz Domestic Lifts Available
Stiltz offers four different choices of home lift, including the Stiltz Duo Classic Home Lift, Stiltz Trio Classic Lift, Stiltz Duo Plus, and Stiltz Trio Plus models. All options have separate benefits, aesthetics and price points. Our four models are the Duo Classic, Duo Plus, Trio Classic and Trio Plus.
The Stiltz Duo Home Lift is especially space-saving, with a small footprint covering just 0.55 square metres, making it ideal for homes with limited space.
Each model has their unique benefits, but both the Stiltz Trio models feature that little bit of extra space which can carry up to three people, a wheelchair or a walking frame. Every one of our homelifts comes with a range of features, such as internal LED downlights, a battery backup system and numerous safety features, and can be customised to suit your home decor.
A neutral cream exterior is available as a design option to ensure the lift blends seamlessly with your interior. For added safety and communication, each lift includes an interior telephone. The through car configuration allows users to enter and exit from opposite sides, enhancing accessibility, especially for wheelchair users. Remote controls are included, allowing you to lift remotely and conveniently send the lift between floors, with two remote controls provided for added flexibility and the ability to transfer heavy or awkward items.
The cost of a Stiltz Home Lift starts from £12,000 to £12,950, depending on the model and features, and each lift comes with a two-year parts warranty and a one-year labour warranty.
Flexible and Fast Installation Around Your Home
Our Stiltz homelifts can be installed in various areas around your home. This can be from your living room going to the bedroom, the hallway to the landing or any other area you choose if it’s possible for installation. Installation typically involves cutting a ceiling aperture, which is a straightforward and minimally disruptive step that allows the lift to travel between floors.
At Multicare Homelifts, we offer installation which takes less than a day. We offer a free, no-obligation home survey to talk you through the process, make the required measurements and help you decide on where your lift will be installed. Most Stiltz lift installations are straightforward, keep mess and disruption to a minimum, and can be completed in as little as one day.
If you have any further questions or would like to book a home survey, don’t hesitate to contact us. Installation can be completed in as little as four weeks from the order date.
Safety and Reliability
When it comes to choosing a home lift, safety and reliability are paramount. Stiltz home lifts are engineered with a comprehensive range of safety features to ensure every journey between floors is secure and worry-free. Each lift is equipped with a half height door that provides easy access while maintaining user safety, and a full height light curtain that acts as an invisible barrier, stopping the lift if anything crosses its path. In the event of a power cut, the battery back up system ensures the lift can still operate, so you’re never left stranded.
Unlike other domestic lifts that may require load bearing walls, Stiltz home lifts feature a self supporting structure, allowing for flexible installation with minimal disruption. With these advanced safety features and a robust, self supporting design, you can trust your Stiltz home lift to deliver reliable performance and peace of mind every day.
Power Outage Protection
Power cuts can happen unexpectedly, but with a Stiltz home lift, you’re always prepared. Each lift car is fitted with a battery back up system that uses standard AAA batteries, ensuring that even during a power outage, you can safely exit the lift. This is especially important for wheelchair users or anyone who relies on the lift for daily mobility.
The half height light curtain provides an extra layer of protection, automatically stopping the lift if the path is obstructed, while the battery back up system allows the lift to complete its journey or return to the nearest floor. With these thoughtful safety measures, you can have complete confidence in your home lift, knowing you’ll never be left in a difficult situation, no matter what.
Home Lift Eligibility
Wondering if a home lift is right for your property? Stiltz home lifts are designed with flexibility in mind, making them suitable for a wide range of homes, from compact apartments to spacious houses. Thanks to their small footprint and self supporting structure, these lifts can be installed in places where other lifts simply won’t fit, such as a downstairs room, hallway, or even a tight corner. Whether you need to transport heavy or awkward items, or require wheelchair access, models like the Duo Classic and Trio Lift are tailored to meet diverse needs.
Unlike other lifts that may require extensive building work, Stiltz home lifts are self-supporting and can be installed with minimal disruption, making them an ideal solution for enhancing accessibility in almost any home.
Home Lift Maintenance
Keeping your home lift in top condition is simple with Stiltz. Every Stiltz home lift comes with a comprehensive warranty, including a two-year parts warranty and a one-year labour warranty, plus one service included as standard. The lifts are designed for easy maintenance, featuring a contained drive system that requires minimal building work during installation and reduces the need for ongoing servicing.
By following the recommended maintenance schedule and taking advantage of the included service, you can ensure your lift remains safe, reliable, and efficient for years to come. With Multicare Home Lifts, you’ll enjoy full support from installation through aftercare, so your home lift continues to provide the convenience and independence you deserve.
