Stiltz Home Lifts

Stiltz Homelifts Company in Ontario, Canada

One of the most unique features about a Stiltz Home Lift is the half-door height. Unlike other lifts, Stiltz Home Elevators offers riders the experience of not feeling fully contained within the lift while traveling through two floors.

Another important Stiltz home elevators feature is a battery back-up system ensuring Stiltz’ shaftless elevators remain operating even in the event of a power outage. Another safety feature is an interior telephone allowing users to call for assistance in the event of an emergency. Other safety features include: an emergency stop button, weight limit sensors and constant pressure controls for moving the car.

Features that are optional include a fold-down seat, interior grab bar or full-height door. The full-height door is traditionally on other Homelift models from other manufacturers. Full-height doors offer riders complete safety inside the car when travelling through the floor aperture. Interior grab rails are also found standard on other manufacturer models, a feature proven to help those unsteady on their feet feel secure while in the lift.

Stiltz through the floor lifts are solutions designed to make mobility within the homeeasier and more convenient. They are an alternative to stairlifts, which effectively achieves the same result but in a cruder manner. Riders must transfer on and off the chair at both landings, which can pose significant challenges for many seniors

The Trio Alta model was designed to be the ‘Wheelchair Lift’ model with an interior footprint large enough for a full-sized wheelchair or 3 users.

Stiltz shaftless elevators operate using a self-contained rope drum drive system that rides atop the lift cabin. The rope drum keeps the lift stable and level while the braked gear motor provides power and control equaling a ride with minimal noise and vibration.

Stiltz lifts in Ontario cannot be plugged into a standard domestic power socket as they run off 220v power. Therefore, a dedicated circuit will need to be provided near the lift installation.

These shaftless elevators were designed with accessibility in mind. Whether individuals have mobility issues or find stairs a challenge, a Stiltz home lift ease the burden of those daily struggles. They have been designed to allow homeowners to stay in their home and avoid moving or make major modifications to their home. Stairlifts do have the ability to move riders up and down between two floors but where Stiltz lifts fills the accessibility void is the entering and exiting portion. When transferring onto or off the seat of a stairlift, many could find it challenging and dangerous transferring onto a chair at the top landing of a stairway. Stiltz Home Elevators provide stress-free travel between two floors.

Cost of Stiltz Home Elevators

The cost of a Stiltz residential home elevator in Ontario, Canada is comprised of the Stiltz home lift cost, plus the cost to modify the home to accept the device. Depending on the desired model, they both differ in pricing and tax exemption status in Ontario.

The Duo line is the more affordable option – exact pricing depends on your State or Province. Buyers that need a lift to accommodate a wheelchair will be interested in the Stiltz Trio. The cost of a Stiltz Trio is generally more than the Duo line but should qualify for tax exemption status in Ontario, Canada. The Trio is a game changer for individuals that need assistive devices to move about their home. Please note, optional trim packages and features will be extra.

The scope of the preparatory construction work to modify the home involves creating an aperture, or hole in the floor and ceiling between the two floors the lift is serving. While this process is generally straightforward, issues can arise when dealing with floor joists that are oriented in the opposite direction or when electrical, HVAC or plumbing lines are present. Additional costs may also include obtaining structural engineered drawings and permits. While permits may not be mandatory, it is highly recommended to obtain them given the nature of the construction work.
