Choosing the right homelift for your property can feel overwhelming with so many options available. At Multicare Mobility, we specialise in Stiltz, a trusted name in domestic lifts that combines innovative design, reliability, and exceptional quality.
In this guide, we’ll compare the four main Stiltz homelift models: the Duo Classic, Duo Plus, Trio Classic, and Trio Plus to help you understand their features, benefits, and which one suits your home best.
Why Choose Stiltz Homelifts?
Stiltz homelifts are designed specifically for residential use as a compact home lift, helping people with limited mobility stay independent in their own homes. Their space-saving, self-supporting structure is enabled by stiltz dual rail technology, so it isn’t fixed to a wall, doesn’t require a traditional lift shaft or load-bearing walls, and allows minimal building work with no structural strain on your home’s walls. They’re incredibly versatile, fitting into tight spaces like hallways, corners, or cupboards, and unlike a conventional lift or other conventional lift options, can be installed in just a few days with minimal disruption. Designed to blend with home interiors, they provide a safe and efficient way to move between levels.
Every Stiltz model is energy-efficient, whisper-quiet, and packed with safety features including obstruction sensors, smooth travel between floors, a battery back up system, operation during a power cut, remote control operation, and emergency stop buttons, with a quiet electric drive mechanism contained within the lift car so there’s no need for a separate machine room. The Stiltz Duo Home Lift range includes the Duo Classic, Duo+, and Duo ThruCar as efficient two-person lifts, while the wider range also includes spacious options for wheelchair users.

As one of the brand’s efficient two person lifts, this lift fits into areas where other lifts simply can’t, making it ideal for narrow hallways or tight corners. It uses around 0.55 square metres of space and travels from one floor to another, less than a standard armchair in footprint. Part of the duo home lifts and duo home lift range, it provides effortless travel between floors as a compact floor lift, using dual rail technology and a self-supporting structure without needing to be fixed to a wall.

What All Stiltz Models Have in Common: Installation Process
Regardless of which Stiltz homelift you choose, you’ll benefit from features that are standard across the entire range: self-supporting through floor lifts requiring no lift shaft, energy-efficient operation from standard 13 amp power to support minimal building work during installation, a whisper-quiet electric motor that avoids noisy hydraulics used in some conventional lifts, comprehensive safety features including battery backup, an internal phone, infrared light sensors, a patented fall arrest mechanism, quick installation in just a few days, and minimal maintenance requirements.
A half height light curtain acts as an invisible safety barrier and stops the lift if anything crosses its path, offering extra reassurance in homes with children or pets.
A full height light curtain and half height door are also available safety-related features where relevant.
Every model is built to the same exacting standards, ensuring reliability, safety, and peace of mind. Our team at Multicare handles installation from start to finish, and we’re always here to provide ongoing support and servicing. Standard installations require a minimum upstairs ceiling height of 2,370mm, with shorter configurations also available.
