Stiltz Home Lifts: The Smarter Platform Lift for Independent Living

When stairs start to become a daily challenge, you don’t have to give up the comfort of your own home or make drastic changes to your lifestyle. A Stiltz Home Lift could be the ideal solution, providing a safe, practical, and stylish way to move freely between floors. At Cavendish Health Care, we’re proud to now offer Stiltz home lift installations, giving our customers more choice when it comes to platform lifts and accessible living.

In this guide, we’ll explain what Stiltz Home Lifts are, how they work, their main benefits, and why so many people across the UK are choosing them as an alternative to traditional stairlifts or large domestic lifts.

What is a Stiltz Home Lift?

A Stiltz Home Lift is a compact, domestic lift that allows you to travel smoothly between floors without the need for a bulky lift shaft or extensive building work. Unlike traditional stairlifts, which run along your staircase, a Stiltz lift travels vertically through a neat opening in your floor, offering a discreet, space-saving solution that can make daily living easier and safer.

There are two main models to choose from: the Duo and the Trio.

Stiltz Duo

The Duo is designed for one or two standing passengers. It’s ideal if you want to make your home more accessible as you age, or if stairs have become difficult to manage. The Duo is compact and stylish, perfect for smaller spaces where a stairlift might feel intrusive.

Stiltz Trio

The Trio is a larger model that’s specifically designed to accommodate a standard wheelchair. It has a wider cabin and a slightly larger footprint, making it a practical option for wheelchair users or anyone who needs to travel with a mobility aid. The Trio can also carry a wheelchair user and a carer if needed, giving extra peace of mind and flexibility.

Both models are quiet, energy-efficient, and run on a self-supporting rail system. When the lift isn’t in use, the floor aperture is neatly covered, helping your home maintain its normal layout.

By choosing the right model for your needs, Duo or Trio, you can enjoy full independence at home, with the confidence that your lift is tailored to your space and mobility requirements.

How Does a Stiltz Platform Lift Work?

Stiltz lifts use a unique self-supporting rail system that means there’s no need for an external lift shaft or separate machine room. The lift moves between floors using an electric motor that runs quietly and efficiently. Most installations plug straight into a standard domestic power socket, keeping energy costs low.

Why Choose a Stiltz Home Lift Instead of a Stairlift?

For many people, a stairlift feels like the obvious choice when stairs become difficult. But a Stiltz Home Lift offers several advantages:

How Long Does a Home Lift Installation Take?

A typical Stiltz home lift installation is far quicker than a traditional domestic lift. Most projects take just one to two days, with minimal building work compared to a platform lift with a full shaft. Because the lift is self-supporting, there’s no need for major structural reinforcements — just a clear aperture between floors and a standard power supply.

Every installation is tailored to your property and your needs. At Cavendish Health Care, our team will carry out a full survey and talk you through the best positioning, design, and safety features for your lift.

Our experienced team ensures the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible, with clear communication at every stage.

Is a Stiltz Home Lift Expensive?

A home lift is a significant investment, but for many people it’s far more affordable than moving house or making drastic alterations. Costs vary depending on the model, features, and complexity of the installation. Some customers may also qualify for VAT relief if the lift is being installed for personal mobility needs. We’re always happy to guide you through the options and paperwork.

Safety Features You Can Rely On

When you invest in a Stiltz lift, you want to know you’re safe. Each model comes with a range of built-in safety features, including:

These practical features give you peace of mind every time you use your lift.
