Why have a stairlift when you can have a real lift?
The Stiltz Home Lift is a unique and compact domestic lift designed to fit effortlessly into almost any home. It offers a practical, stylish, and affordable alternative to a stairlift — helping you stay independent and continue living comfortably in the home you love.
Unlike traditional stairlifts, Stiltz lifts are spacious, quiet, and safe, with room for up to three people or a wheelchair. You can even take your family pet along for the ride.
All Stiltz Home Lifts are fitted with safety sensors in the base and top lid of the lift car. These sensors detect obstructions above or below the lift. If anything is positioned on the lift lid, the lift won’t move upwards. If the lift is in use in either direction and meets an obstruction, it will come to a smooth stop until the obstruction is removed.
As our Home Lifts require no structural work to the property and no load-bearing wall, we often get asked what stops the lift from falling? The weight of the Home Lift is carried by two very strong steel cables, in the extremely unlikely event they lose tension or break, our patented Fall Arrest Mechanism kicks in, and prevents the car from falling, or even moving at all.
Every Stiltz Home Lift is installed with its own integrated phone, so in the unlikely event of a breakdown, help is only a phone call away. The safety of our customers is paramount and that why we have a full range of safety features included in every lift as standard.
