Why Stiltz Leads the Way in Through-Floor Home Lifts

For many families, the stairs become the biggest obstacle in the house. Moving is expensive and emotional. Stairlifts only solve part of the problem. Traditional elevators often mean major construction. Stiltz offers a different answer: a compact home lift that travels straight up through the floor.

A smarter way to add an elevator

Stiltz home lifts ride on two self-supporting rails. They don’t need a load-bearing wall, a shaft, a pit, or a separate machine room. In most homes, the main construction is a single opening cut in the ceiling. That’s why a standard Stiltz installation can often be completed in about a day once the opening is prepared.

Built around real homes

Stiltz designed its lifts to fit into the spaces families already have: a corner of the living room, a closet, the turn of a staircase, or a landing. The Duo models cover a footprint of less than 8.5 square feet, and the wheelchair-accessible Trio Alta covers about 15 square feet.

Simple to power, simple to use

Stiltz lifts use a quiet, self-contained electric drive with no hydraulics and no vacuum system. They run on a dedicated 220V household outlet, and Stiltz says they use about as much electricity as a dishwasher. Every model includes a battery backup, so the lift can lower gently to the bottom floor during a power outage.

Proven experience

Stiltz was founded in Europe in 2010 and launched in the United States in 2013. Its U.S. headquarters is in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the company says its lifts are now in thousands of American homes.

A lineup for every need

From the compact Duo Alta to the wheelchair-friendly Trio Alta, the see-through Vista, and the double-entry ThruCar, there’s a Stiltz model for nearly every home and mobility need. Over the coming weeks, we’ll explore each one in detail.
