If you’ve ever wondered how to make your home more accessible, comfortable, and future-proof without losing valuable space, Stiltz lifts could be the perfect solution. At Multicare, we specialise in helping homeowners like you find the right home lift for your property, whether it’s to improve mobility, add convenience, or simply enhance your home for years to come.
Our customers often ask us what’s involved in installing a Stiltz home lift, how much space is needed, and what they can expect during the process. This guide is here to answer all those questions and more. We’ll explain how Stiltz home lifts work, outline each stage of installation, and introduce the stunning Duo and Trio models we offer, all designed to bring ease and style to your everyday living.
Why Homeowners Choose Stiltz Lifts
Stiltz lifts are becoming increasingly popular among UK homeowners, and for good reason. They combine practicality, safety, and modern design in a way that traditional home lifts simply can’t.
Here at Multicare, we’ve installed Stiltz home lifts in all kinds of homes, from compact terraced houses to larger family properties, and the feedback we receive is always the same: customers are amazed by how quietly and smoothly these lifts operate, and how well they blend into their home’s interior.
But beyond aesthetics, Stiltz homelifts offer something more important: independence. If you or a loved one finds stairs difficult or just wants a more convenient way to move between floors, a Stiltz lift makes life that bit easier, every day.
What Makes Stiltz Lifts Unique?
Unlike traditional domestic lifts, Stiltz home lifts are designed with a unique dual rail technology and a self-supporting structure. This means there’s no need for a lift shaft, pit, or external machinery. Instead, they use an innovative dual-rail system that can be installed in virtually any part of your home.
Here are a few standout features that make Stiltz lifts different:
- Compact home lift upgraded design: Takes up minimal floor space, ideal for smaller UK homes.
- Whisper-quiet operation: No noisy hydraulics, just a smooth, near-silent ride powered by an electric drive motor.
- Energy-efficient: Plugs into a standard domestic power socket, using no more power than a kettle.
- Flexible installation: Can be fitted in hallways, corners, cupboards, or even through landings.
- Minimal disruption: Installation typically takes just one to three days with minimal building work.
At Multicare, we’ve found that these features make Stiltz home lifts a perfect fit for homeowners who want a safe, reliable, and discreet solution without turning their home into a building site.
The Stiltz Lift Installation Process: Step by Step
We know that installing a home lift in your home might sound daunting, but the truth is, it’s a straightforward process. With Stiltz lifts, the installation is fast, tidy, and carried out with minimal disruption. Here’s exactly what you can expect when you choose Multicare to fit your new lift.
Step 1: Your Free Home Survey
Every homelift installation starts with a free home survey. One of our experienced advisors will visit your property to assess your layout, take measurements, and discuss your preferences.
We’ll talk through where your lift could be placed, whether that’s in a hallway, living area, or tucked neatly into a corner, and explain what’s involved in fitting it.
This survey helps us ensure your chosen model fits perfectly into your home, without compromising on style or space.
Step 2: Choosing Your Stiltz Lift Model
Once we’ve completed your survey, we’ll help you choose the best model for your needs. At Multicare, we proudly supply the full range of Stiltz Duo and Stiltz Trio lifts, each offering unique features and benefits.
Let’s take a closer look at the options.

We often recommend the Trio Plus for homeowners who want maximum space and comfort without compromising on aesthetics.
Step 3: Preparing Your Home
Once you’ve selected your model, our engineers will prepare your home for installation. Because Stiltz home lifts don’t require a lift shaft or external machinery, preparation is minimal.
Typically, this involves:
- Creating a small aperture (opening) between floors
- Ensuring power access for the lift’s electric motor
- Checking for supporting surfaces and suitable placement for the vertical rails, which bear the entire load
We always carry out these tasks with care, ensuring as little disruption as possible. Most homeowners are pleasantly surprised at how quickly we can get everything ready.
Step 4: Installation
The homelift installation itself is a smooth and straightforward process. Our engineers will carefully position the lift, secure its self-supporting rails using the unique dual rail system, and connect it to power.
A typical installation takes between one and three days, depending on your home layout and the model you’ve chosen.
Because the lift is self-contained, there’s no need for additional bulky plant rooms or other machinery, meaning you can enjoy your new lift almost immediately.
Step 5: Testing and Demonstration
Before we leave, we’ll test the lift thoroughly to make sure everything works perfectly. We’ll also walk you through the controls, safety features, and daily operation so you feel completely confident using it.
You’ll also receive all the documentation and information you need for future servicing and maintenance.
Safety and Compliance
Safety is always our top priority. Every Stiltz homelift we install meets strict UK safety standards and comes with built-in features such as:
- Pressure-sensitive safety edges and full-height light curtain
- Emergency stop buttons
- Battery backup systems
- Key locking controls
- Fire seals and sensors
We also offer ongoing maintenance and support to ensure your lift remains in top condition for years to come.
Ongoing Maintenance and Servicing
To keep your Stiltz lift running smoothly, we recommend regular servicing, typically once a year. At Multicare, our dedicated service team can carry out routine checks, safety inspections, and any necessary adjustments.
You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your lift is performing efficiently and safely, day after day.
