When people are looking at buying a home lift and where it is going to be installed, naturally there are lots of questions. The purchase of a domestic lift can be a big financial outlay for some people so, of course, customers want to be sure that they know everything they need to know about the lift.
One of the most common questions asked by customers is whether Stiltz Lifts are noisy? And the simple answer is no – and that is because Stiltz’s home lifts are one of the few domestic lifts on the market that do not use hydraulic equipment for the lift to travel from one floor to the next.
While traditional hydraulic home lifts can crash and bang and also make vibration noises, the Stiltz Lift is powered by an electric motor system that plugs straight into the wall so it is very quiet – in fact it can hardly be heard at all.
The lift plugs into a normal 13 amp power socket – or for USA customers a 220v power outlet or 110v power outlet with step-up transformer. The motor itself is hidden from view and situated on top of the lift. Hydraulic lifts are powered by electronic pumps that transmit hydraulic fluid to a jack with the lift pushed up and down by a piston at the base that can make a lot of noise.
As the first non-hydraulic home lift to be launched worldwide, the Stiltz Lift is unique and, in fact, the only one of its kind on the market. The fact the lift does not require loud mechanical equipment was an integral part of the thinking behind the lift during the initial manufacturing stage.
With the lift travelling via a dual rail system that is bolted into the floor of the home – with the appropriate aperture cut out of the above ceiling – this means the lift can be fitted practically anywhere in a home. Hydraulic lifts, however, are very restrictive in where they can be installed in a house.
There are several typical applications for a Stiltz Lift but the permutations for where it can be installed are endless. The lift includes many safety features as standard, the required ceiling height is 2,370mm although this can be made 150mm shorter and many people are now choosing them as an alternative to a stairlift.
Easy to arrange lots of information, No problems with fitting, payment taken in stages, last payment when job was completed. Everyone was friendly from start to finish.
My experience with Stiltz Homelifts. Just over a month ago, I had my Stiltz lift installed and I am so pleased with it. The workmen that came and fitted it were very professional and knew what they were doing. They were so professional I would not hesitate to recommend Stiltz lifts to anybody.
Great looking product, knowledgeable sales people, fitters work clean quickly and polite. Definitely recommend.
Great stylist lift, had for six months without a hitch. Installed by company staff not subcontractors. Cannot fault the lift, buying experience, installation, service. Good company ethos and made in UK.
From the very beginning with the initial construction to the finished product. I have never seen such polite men with an equal work ethic. They cleaned as they went each day. The pets were never in harm. The finished product is awesome. Couldn’t be more pleased
Excellent from beginning to end – and beyond.
Everybody we dealt with at Stiltz was very helpful and efficient, from the initial meeting with Nick Sale, the sales rep, thorough technical inspection, the builders, installers, plumber, electrician, and excellent follow up service and attention. My husband’s life is transformed and mine is much easier. Thank you Stiltz.
Elegant lift, promptly installed by careful and tidy fitters who removed their rubbish the following day. A fair price and an envied addition to our home.
I have been astounded and gratified by the levels of service we have received from every member of the Stiltz teams we have dealt with. A superb lift with exceptional service!
An excellent company from the first contact to the completed project. All personnel were friendly and very polite but stayed extremely professional throughout. Having been in the construction industry for over 40 years I was aware the preparation work was carried out to a high standard by the best of trades people. The lift itself can not be faulted both the operation and aesthetics.
The service was better than 1st class. It was excellent in every way. We could not be more pleased with everything Stiltz applied it’s self to in any way. We would award 6 stars at the very least.
