Unlike stairlifts, Stiltz domestic lifts are spacious, comfortable and safe and the home lift can carry up to three people and a wheelchair if required. You can even fit the family pet in too!
Movement Safety Sensors
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.
An additional sensor included as standard is a ‘light curtain’. This is located either side of the entrance of the lift car (and if you have a half height door, it includes the gap between the door and the top of the lift car) and ensures if anything crosses the entrance threshold of the lift while in motion, the lift will stop automatically.
What stops the lift from falling?
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.
What do I do if I experience any problems with my Home Lift?
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.
