Most wheelchair users and people who live in two-story homes and have difficulty with stairs opt to install a stairlift to improve access in their homes. Actually, there a better option – a Stiltz home elevator. This elevator is a more economical alternative as it can carry two or three people and a wheelchair if required. Additionally, it can accommodate a pet and a vacuum cleaner too.

Stiltz Home Elevators – Compact and Fast

These residential elevators come in two models - Stiltz Duo and Stiltz Trio. They are compact and can be installed in almost any place in your home. They are powered by an intelligent electric motor drive system and are a faster and more convenient way of getting between floors than a stairlift. The unique features of these systems are as follows:

>> Space saving – The Duo takes up just 7 square feet when installed. With its small footprint, it can be placed at any angle.

>> Quick set up – Composed of modular sections that can pass through and under standard doorways and ceilings, the Stiltz systems can be installed quickly. They do not need a machine room. A typical retrofit would take just 24 hours

>> Quiet operation - As they feature a quiet self-contained electric motor, these lifts ensure quiet operation.

>> Energy efficient – Stiltz is also economical in terms of power consumption. To operate, they need just a 220v outlet or 110v outlet with a simple step-up transformer.

>> Unobtrusive – In a Stiltz home elevator, all the mechanics are housed within its roped drum-braked gear motor drive system. Everything is located at the top of the lift and remains hidden from view.

>> Distinctive guide system - Two parallel and vertical guides at the centre line of the lift bear the load of the entire elevator. This dual rail technology eliminates the need for load bearing walls

Choose from Several Stiltz Models

Stiltz Duo: You can choose from three models of this home elevator – Classic, Vista and Thru Car. The Classic is the ideal alternative to a stairlift or conventional hydraulic lift. It can carry two passengers between floors in less than 30 seconds. While the Vista comes with clear body made from structural polycarbonate and allows natural light to enter, the Thru Car allows users to enter and exit from both sides.

Stiltz Trio: Compact but larger than the Duo, this system can carry a standard-sized wheelchair and is perfect for people with a walker or rollator. It can also accommodate an extra passenger and easily transport bigger items like luggage.

Rely on a Professional Dealer for Installation

If you live in New York or New Jersey, purchase your Stiltz elevator from an established dealer in accessibility equipment. A professional company will help you choose the right model for your requirements and install the system efficiently. Though this home lift requires just an appropriate aperture to be cut out and trimmed, a reliable company will ensure smooth, hassle-free installation.
