Wheelchair Lift – Stiltz Trio

A home wheelchair lift

The Stiltz Trio wheelchair lift range helps wheelchair users live independently at home.

Our innovative three-person lift is an easy, adaptable solution to overcome accessibility barriers and make moving seamlessly between floors possible for everyone.

The lifts in our Trio range can fit a standard-sized wheelchair or up to three passengers, making them ideal for users with walking frames or disabilities. While many through-floor lifts can be bulky and take up lots of space, our Trio Home Lifts are compact and designed with a sleek and contemporary appearance to fit seamlessly into your home.

All of our Stiltz Home Lifts are freestanding and don’t need to be fixed to a wall, and simply plug straight into a standard 13-amp power socket in your home. Thanks to their small footprint, our wheelchair lifts can be fitted almost anywhere in the home.

Our Trio Home Lifts have been fitted in hundreds of homes across the UK, making long-term accessible living possible for customers across the country.

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!

Self-supporting structure – two parallel and vertical guides bear load of the lift.

About Trio Home Lifts

If you’re looking to future-proof your home or improve the quality of your life by making it easier to move between floors, the Trio range offers an ideal solution.

Our lifts make travel to every corner of your home both effortless and safe. Thoughtful features like a gently angled ramp, wider entry points, and remote control operation were designed with usability in mind, giving you a smooth home lift experience regardless of your ability. An automatic door is also available as an extra add-on for greater ease of use.

Trio Home Lifts have a large interior cab space and a heavier weight load, which means the lift can carry an extra person compared to our Duo Home Lift range. The Trio range also has an increased maximum weight capacity of 250kg.

Along with carrying up to three passengers or a wheelchair, our through-floor lifts can also easily transport luggage and carry bigger items between floors to make at-home living that bit easier. 

Choose from two models within our Trio range:

  • The Trio+
  • The Trio ThruCar

Like all Stiltz Home Lifts, our products are powered by a quiet electric motor drive system instead of noisy hydraulics or vacuum systems. Thanks to our unique dual rail technology, the lift doesn’t need load-bearing walls and has a self-supporting structure. This makes Stiltz Trio Lifts the only wheelchair lift on the market that can be fitted virtually anywhere in the home.

Assembled in the UK, the Stiltz Trio Lifts can be installed in just one day with minimal building work and disruption. From lounge to bedroom or hallway to study, the wheelchair lift requires a remarkably small space and comes in an elegant design in subtle colourways to perfectly complement your existing décor.

The Trio Range of Wheelchair Lifts

Discover our industry-leading home lifts, specially designed to carry a wheelchair with ease.

The Trio+

The Stiltz Trio+ is a spacious, luxurious, wheelchair-accessible home lift designed to carry a full-sized wheelchair or three people.

With its clear sides and slightly wider entrance and exit points, the Trio+ is a stylish addition to any home. The self-supporting structure and compact design mean no extra machinery or wires clutter your space, making it an elegant and practical choice.

Move between floors with comfort and convenience with the Trio+ through-floor lift.

The Trio+ ThruCar

An enhanced version of the Trio+, the ThruCar model allows users to enter and exit from opposite sides of the lift. This unique feature makes manoeuvring within the lift easier than ever.

The ThruCar uses Stiltz’s unique dual-rail technology, where two doors are configured on either side of the lift car. There’s no other domestic lift on the market that is capable of having a double entry or ThruCar configuration that can also accommodate a wheelchair passenger.

The Trio Range – Specifications

Standard Finishes

The Trio+ is finished in grey

Half Height Door

The door is interlocked and is made to match the finish of the lift.

Battery Back Up System

If there is a power cut while using the lift, it can be driven to the lower level of the home and will then wait until the power comes back on to resume normal service.

Power cable

Depending on the nature of each individual installation, the power cable may remain visible while the lift is downstairs.

Interior Telephone

In the very unlikely event that the lift stops while you are travelling in it, help is just a phone call away with a phone fitted as standard in all Stiltz home lifts.

This is a popular option selected by customers. The Plus range accommodates a stylish, moulded fold-down seat.

Interior Grab Rail

Bespoke Colours & Finishes

Customise your Stiltz lift by choosing different colour lift car, rails and interior lining.

Half Height Light Curtain

An obstruction sensor is situated at the entrance of our lifts. If this barrier is crossed the lift will immediately stop.

Safety Lid Plug

This crucial feature plugs the aperture in the floor when the lift is in the downstairs position. It is strong enough to stand on and you can place your original flooring on top to blend in.

Key Switch Operation

This feature allows the owner to isolate the lift if the need arises. This is commonly used when going away on holiday or when the grandchildren are around.

Top & Bottom Safety Pans

Using our obstruction-sensing covers, a Stiltz Lift can detect objects above or below the lift. Switch activation causes the car to stop immediately the lift lid or base meets an obstruction.

Hold-To-Run Controls

Operating a Stiltz Lift requires constant pressure to the controls. This allows the user to ‘drive’ the lift and feel in total control.

Weight Limit Sensors

The Trio+ home lift is limited to 250kg | 39st | 551lbs. The lift detects anything exceeding this limit and will not travel.

Out Of Balance Sensors

What’s the installation process for a Stiltz Trio Home Lift?

Step 1

After you submit an online enquiry or request a callback, a member of our friendly team will get in touch with you. They’ll discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have. They‘ll then help you schedule an appointment with a Home Lift Advisor (HLA) to visit your home.

Step 2

An HLA will visit your home for a comprehensive consultation to discuss your potential home lift options. They’ll be able to advise you on which product might be best suited to your needs and where it could fit in your home. You’ll be able to ask any questions, and the HLA will provide you with a quote to think about in your own time.

Step 3

If you choose to purchase a Stiltz Home Lift, you’ll have a team of Project Coordinators to help you manage your installation from start to finish.

Step 4

Next, we’ll book a Technical Survey where one of our dedicated team will visit your home to check all measurements and understand what building work may be needed. Following the success of the Technical Survey, your Project Coordinators will arrange a date for the building work and installation of your lift.

Step 5

On the scheduled day, our trusted team of builders will carry out any necessary work on your home to accommodate your new home lift. This usually takes around 3-4 days to complete.

Step 6

Finally, our installation team will visit to fit your lift to our expert standards and show you how to use your new through-floor lift.

Andy’s story

Andy McErlean is a para pickleball champion and has been a full-time, active wheelchair user since the age of 19.

When Andy and his wife, Cathy, finished an extensive conversion of their dormer bungalow to a two-storey, four-bedroom house, Andy wanted a solution to make getting between floors much more manageable.

That’s when he got in touch with us at Stiltz Home Lifts.

Our home lift is a game changer. Now, I don’t have to transfer on and off a stairlift, especially at the top of the stairs, which always felt unsafe. Plus, if I forget something upstairs or downstairs, I can get back quicker by getting in the lift. And the other thing is how the lift looks. It’s nice and contemporary so it matches our new home. That was one of the reasons we bought it, not only did it need to be functional, it needed to look great as well. And it certainly does; it ticks all the boxes.

Got questions?
Well, we’ve got answers

Our Stiltz Home Lifts are fitted with various features in the unlikely event that they break down. 

If your lift stops for any reason, you can use the interior telephone to contact our customer help desk or to access our out-of-hours emergency call-out service.

All Stiltz Home Lifts have a battery back-up facility that will kick in if there is a power cut. It’s included as standard in all our lift models and allows anyone in the lift at the time of power failure to gently descend to the lower level of the home, exit the lift, and wait until the power comes back on.

If you live in an area prone to power outages, we can also install an uninterrupted power supply at an extra cost. This means you’ll be able to use your home lift several times while the main power to the lift is out.

The Stiltz Home Lift has safety sensors fitted above and below the lift car, which smoothly stops it when it comes up against an obstruction. 

The lift is also fitted with a full-height light curtain, which acts as a sensor and ensures nothing crosses into or out of the lift as it travels. Stiltz engineers are also on call 24/7 in the event of a lift emergency.

We recommend that you have your Stiltz Home Lift serviced once a year to ensure that the lift is functioning properly and that all safety features are working correctly.

The Stiltz Home Lift uses a steel-roped, drum-braked gear motor drive system, which is compact and neatly self-contained within the roof space of the lift car itself.

The Stiltz Home Lifts is powered by a 13amp power socket like any household appliance and uses no more power than a kettle, toaster, or microwave.

All Stiltz Home Lifts are fitted with either one or two hinged doors, depending on whether you order a ThruCar model. Otherwise, our standard door is a half-height door.

The doors will lock automatically when in motion, and the lock will release once the lift comes to a stop and you are ready to exit the car.

A Stiltz Home Lift is simple to remove, and you can take it with you if you decide to move house. 

It is very straightforward to reverse and seal the aperture opening, and your home will look as if the lift was never there. 

You may, however, decide to keep the lift in position as a domestic lift, which can add value to your property. It, therefore, can be an attractive asset when selling your home.
