A Stiltz Home Elevator offers homeowners a simple and easy way of moving between floors in a two-story property. The lifts are non-hydraulic cable elevators and offer an alternative solution to a stairlift or hydraulic elevator when the stairs become challenging. The range of Stiltz home elevators available provides the benefit of choice while future-proofing your home for use in later life. 

The simple answer is yes! As part of our extensive range of residential elevators, we do offer wheelchair-friendly lifts too. The Stiltz Trio Homelift has been designed spacious enough for a standard-sized wheelchair while maintaining a compact size compared to similar products. This style of Stiltz elevator is also ideal for users with a walker or rollator.  

 Many homeowners choose an elevator for the home to help them stay in their home they love for many years to come when the stairs become more difficult in later life. 

 The Stiltz Duo Home Elevator is one of the smallest residential lifts available on the market and has a footprint of just 7 sq. ft. 

 The beauty of the Stiltz Elevator is that it can be installed in almost any place in a two-story American home. Typically, the lift will be installed in a hallway or family room in the downstairs of the property either in the corner or middle of a room with it travelling up to a bedroom or landing, however, it can also be fitted in the turn of a staircase, a garage space or even a closet. 

The entire range of Stiltz Homelifts are powered by a winding drum system which is neatly self-contained within the top of the lift itself. The mechanics are all in one place and hidden from view. As with any major appliance, our elevators run on a standard dedicated 220 volt 15 amp wall outlet. 

In addition to the inside cab control panel,  with every order, Stiltz includes two standard remote controls so the user can call the elevator from any floor, at any time. 

 No. Using the latest technology, Stiltz elevators are freestanding and travel through the floor on unique self-supporting rails or stilts which means no supporting walls or extensive building work is necessary 

 If there is a power outage while the user is in the elevator there is no need to worry because all Stiltz products are equipped with a battery back-up. This means that when the power fails for any reason the lift will glide gently to the lower level enabling the user to exit the elevator until the power returns. 

 Not very! Because our lifts are not powered by hydraulics, which are typically quite noisy, Stiltz home elevators are very quiet and, in fact, also quieter than many stair lifts.   

 There is very little construction work involved for a standard home elevator installation. Once it has been decided where the lift is going to be installed, all that is then required is for the appropriate hole to be made in the ceiling for the lift to pass through between floors. This work can be carried out by a professional contractor of choice by the customer or your Stiltz Homelift Authorized Dealer.

 Our lifts are only installed by a Stiltz Certified Installers. Once the hole in the ceiling has been prepared for the elevator, a standard installation will usually take two to three days. 

 A Stiltz Homelift is simple to remove and you can take it with you if you decide to move house. It is very straightforward to reverse the aperture opening and seal it and your home will look as if the elevator was never there. You may, however, decide to keep the elevator in position as a domestic elevator can add value to your property. It therefore can be an attractive asset when selling your home.
