What Is a Stiltz Homelift and How Does It Compare to Through Floor Lifts?
A Stiltz homelift is a compact, modern lift designed specifically for residential use. Unlike traditional lifts, it doesn’t require a shaft or extensive building work, making it a practical solution for most homes.
Our range of Stiltz lifts features a self-supporting structure and does not require load-bearing walls, allowing for minimal building work and disruption during installation. The lifts travel on two parallel vertical rails, removing the need for a conventional hydraulic shaft. This design means they can be fitted virtually anywhere in existing properties, including stairwells, hallways, or closets, with minimal disruption.
Our range of Stiltz lifts is designed to be:
- Space-saving
- Energy-efficient
- Quick to install
- Stylish and discreet
- Self-supporting, requiring no load-bearing walls
- Operated using a standard 13 amp power socket for easy installation in most homes
These innovative homelifts can be installed almost anywhere in your home, offering a seamless way to move between floors.
Understanding the Stiltz Range
There are four main models to consider when choosing a Stiltz home lift, a reliable and innovative mobility solution:
The installation process for a Stiltz lift is streamlined for customer satisfaction and can sometimes be completed in a single day, though it typically takes 3-4 days including any necessary building work. Each model offers unique benefits depending on your requirements, so let’s explore them in detail.
Customers are consistently satisfied with the finished product and the whole process from initial consultation to installation.

Choosing the Right Model for Your Home
At Multicare Mobility, we always recommend thinking carefully about both your current and future needs.
